Composite Slatted Cladding

Introduction Advice &Information

If you're looking to create a sophisticated and distinctive exterior for your home, composite slatted cladding is an ideal choice. Made from an innovative, environmentally friendly capped composite material, these cladding panels replicate the look of individual timber slats while offering the benefits of easy installation and low-maintenance upkeep.

Sometimes referred to as shadow gap cladding, slatted cladding panels can be installed horizontally or vertically, making them suitable for both domestic and commercial applications. They’re also a great way to create a striking feature wall in any outdoor living space.

Featuring a four-slat castellation design, each slatted panel provides 200mm of coverage when lapped, offering greater coverage than the average slatted board on the market. Cladco also stocks a range of matching slatted cladding trims, allowing you to neatly finish corners, wall edges, and window or door frames.

For further information about our composite slatted cladding, including the uses for each trim, colour variations and installation guidance read more below.

Slatted Cladding Components

The Cladco capped composite slatted cladding range includes:

Slatted cladding panels

Part of the Cladco capped composite slatted cladding range, each panel features a distinctive four-slat castellation design and offers 200mm coverage when lapped. Designed for modern exterior applications, these panels can be installed horizontally or vertically, allowing for a customisable and contemporary finish. Durable and low-maintenance, they provide a long-term solution for enhancing the outside of your home with minimal upkeep.

Corner trims

Use corner trims to cover the exposed hollow ends of your slatted cladding panels and achieve a neat, seamless finish. These L-shaped trims are designed to conceal edges while enhancing the overall look of your installation. Available in the same six natural colours as the slatted cladding panels, they help create a cohesive, professional appearance throughout your project.

Internal corner trims

Secure slatted wall cladding panels to the inward corners of a building using our 2.5m internal corner trims. Our internal corner trims sit on top of your composite or timber battens to allow panels to seamlessly join together.

External corner trims

These trims allow slatted cladding panels to be installed across multiple external walls. Our external profile trims are available in 2.5m lengths and are colour-matched to complement your existing choice of composite panels.

Double end profile trims

Our Cladco double end profile trims can be installed along the side edges of your slatted wall cladding to finish off the ends and are manufactured from the same capped composite material as slatted cladding boards.

Single start profile trims

Start off your cladding design with Cladco single start profile trims. Easy to install using a tongue-over-groove method, single start trims allow you to connect panels in a run, and can then be finished with a double end profile trim.

FAQs

Are the panels scratch-resistant?

Cladco composite slatted wall cladding panels offer enhanced scratch resistance compared to natural timber, thanks to their durable capped composite material. This makes them less prone to scratches and marks under normal use. However, please note that, like any surface, they can still be scratched if mishandled.

Do I need planning permission to put my wall cladding up?

In most cases, adding cladding to your home does not require planning permission, providing that the materials are of a similar appearance to the rest of your home.

In some cases, you may need to apply for planning permission if your home is a listed building in an area of exceptional beauty or a national park. Please note that we are not licensed planning or building surveyors. We recommend speaking to a licensed professional.

Can I fit slatted cladding panels on interior projects?

es, our cladding can be used on interior projects, providing the structural integrity of the wall can support the weight of the batten system as well as the cladding panels. Alternatively, our 2.4m acoustic internal slatted wall panels are designed specifically for internal use.
