Dura Cladding low maintenance composite cladding has a natural sense of style

If you’re looking to undertake a self-build, renovation or home improvement project using cladding, there are several factors you’ll want to consider before deciding on your final material.

Cladding – or ‘siding’, as it is sometimes known – is a means of covering the external wall of a building with another material, such as wood, concrete, fibre-cement or metal.

Choosing the right cladding for your property is about more than just enhancing its appearance. The right cladding can protect your home from the elements for years to come. It can also have a dramatic impact on its value and saleability in the future.

Unlike traditional wood, Dura Cladding never needs painting, staining, sealing or treating. It is resistant to rotting, splintering and warping. Our woodgrain composite timber cladding range is known Dura Cladding Flush Resist and offers resistance to fire, weathering, staining and expansion. Resist cladding achieves a fire classification result of Class B s2 d0 in accordance with European Standard EN-13501-1.

Avoid the drawbacks of timber cladding

Whilst timber has always been a popular cladding choice, as a material it has several major drawbacks. At the cheaper end of the market there are a range of softwoods that can vary hugely in appearance because of the presence of knots and other natural defects. These softwoods require regular painting and staining which can prove costly over the life of the cladding, and is always time consuming. More expensive hardwoods such as oak require a little less maintenance, but contain high tannin levels which can leach out during exposure to the elements, resulting in dark streaks.

With its natural wood look and enhanced durability Dura Cladding is the ideal composite alternative to wood cladding. Made from a unique combination of recycled wood and plastic known as composite timber or WPC, Dura Cladding is an attractive, simple to install and economical way to finish your building’s exterior.

Dura Cladding composite timber cladding offers clear advantages over natural wood cladding. It also comes with a fantastic warranty and service life.

It is ideal for any self-build or home cladding project as a colour-stable and low maintenance alternative to real timber planks.

Dura Cladding also offers benefits over other kinds of exterior wall cladding such as fibre cement cladding which can be challenging to install, may require periodic repainting or touch-ups and can be brittle and awkward to handle.

Dura Cladding’s unique composite timber formula produces a longer lasting cladding that is environmentally friendly, easy to install and requires minimal maintenance.
