What’s in Composite
Slatted Cladding?

Looking to add a sophisticated exterior upgrade to your home? Cladco composite slatted cladding is the perfect choice. Crafted from eco-friendly capped composite materials, these panels replicate the look of timber slats while offering easy installation and long-lasting performance.

Also known as shadow gap cladding, slatted composite cladding is manufactured from 60% FSC® certified recycled hardwood fibres and 40% recycled plastics, encased in a durable outer shell.

Maintaining Composite
Slatted Cladding

Cladco composite slatted cladding features a durable outer shell that helps protect the panels from weathering and other potential damage. To keep your cladding looking its best, regularly clean the panels with lukewarm or cold water to remove dirt and debris. For more stubborn marks, such as bird droppings, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your cladding, inspect the boards annually and clean as needed. Avoid using high-pressure washers, as these can damage the surface finish of the panels.

For the best results and long-lasting performance, we recommend installing the cladding onto composite or recycled plastic battens.

How to Install
Slatted Cladding?

Onto battens, either horizontally or vertically, with battens placed at 500mm intervals. Where two panels meet end to end, install two battens and leave a 3mm gap between the panels to allow for natural expansion and contraction.

Ensure a 25mm gap is maintained between the wall and the panel to provide adequate airflow and ventilation.

Install any single start trims and internal corner trims before fixing the panels, and complete the installation with corner trims or double end trims. The panels slot together using a tongue-and-groove system, concealing the fixings for a clean, professional finish to your exterior project.

What is in Cladco Internal
Slatted Wall Panels?

Cladco internal slatted wall panels are crafted from high-quality MDF with a wood veneer, delivering a premium wood-effect finish. Each panel is backed with an eco-friendly, recycled PET felt base, creating a solid and durable product.

With Cladco slatted wall panels, you can quickly transform a space by fixing them over painted walls or concealing unsightly wallpaper and other surfaces. These panels are acoustically rated to improve sound absorption, which can be further enhanced by installing battens and compressing soundproofing materials within the air gap behind the panels.

Maintaining Internal

Slatted Wall Panels

Internal slatted panels are easy to maintain. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft nozzle attachment or a dusting cloth to remove dust from between the slats. Clean individual slats with a damp cloth, taking care to avoid excessive water or harsh detergents that may cause chemical discolouration. For stubborn stains, a mild soap with a soft, damp cloth can be used.

When panels are installed using screws to battens, individual panels can be easily replaced if needed. Please note that these panels are not made from water-resistant materials and may become damaged if exposed to water for prolonged periods.

How to Install

Internal Slatted Panels?

One of the key advantages of Cladco internal slatted panels is their ease of installation, which can be achieved simply using adhesive or appropriate screws. For best results, we recommend using either adhesive or suitably rated screws.

Panels can be installed vertically or horizontally to match your preferred style and can be easily cut to size and shape using standard woodworking tools. Adjusting the panels to fit around obstacles is straightforward - use a saw to cut the slats widthways and a sharp blade to trim the felt backing lengthways, allowing for a precise fit around any object.
