Cladding adds a unique touch to any building, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. But with so many cladding options available, choosing the right one can be a challenge. This guide explores composite slatted cladding, a modern and sustainable alternative to traditional materials. We'll delve into what it is, its advantages, and how it can transform your home or commercial space.
What is composite slatted cladding?
Composite cladding is a sustainable, durable, low-maintenance cladding produced from recycled plastic and wood fibres. Ecoscape slatted cladding offers cladding that may be utilised for interior or exterior applications and certain ranges come in a fire safety rating of class B. This type of cladding also features a tough polymer outer shell that surrounds the board and creates an impermeable layer that guards against scratching and fading.
