Robert Clark Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Have been looking online at Composite Cladding as an environmentally friendly alternative to Oak, as it’s made from recycled materials and is maintenance free. Woukd appreciate any comments or opinions on this product. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recoveringbuilder Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 We considered composite cladding for our dormers and had it priced up but it’s very expensive, the quote we got was as much as it costs for 36 sq m of composite decking and that was only around 8 sq m for the 4 dormers, it did look like it would have been nice but not at the price! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’ve used composite cladding on a couple of property’s about five years ago Really good to use Very simalar to the oak slay tiles in apperience I sometimes pass there and it looks a slick as the day it was installed if was quite new on the market back then From memory I think it was called Teko wood or simalar I can’t remember the actual cost as it was an exstra on a much larger job The client was impressed with the look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks where I live and about to build new house --s/w scotland it would be a no brainer --composite every time -- its a damp climate with clean air and everything not in direct sun goes green --so easy to hit it with the power wash to clean up real wood to me is not on my list for those reasons and why I will probably clad and not render more expensive now maybe --cheap in 10 years time there are cement board cladding types that looks like wood as well as plastic types . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I was meant to clad in larch . But it did colours and needs maintenance. Not idea in my view - want less work not more ! So went for cladding - looks great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marley eternit was the product . All the trim costs though ! I over used it to hide all cuts . Happy to dig up the cost for you later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Here was one I did last year, using the Plastic not composite version. On that end, the gable was done in about 2011 and the "corner" was done in 2018 - as closely matched as I could find as the painted surface was weathering. The product on the corner is a Rosewood Cladding Product from Eurocell. I think it was of the order of low £ twenties per sqm. It is mounted on roofing battens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Cost was just over 2K + vat. So that's the rear (as in the photo) and also some fixed vertically ( nightmare! ) at the front. As I said I spent a fortune on the nice trim.

I can't find all the paperwork ; and I know I ordered a few extra but! 3.6m x 0.184 44 planks so 30m sq approx ( probably more like 40 inc the front bit) It's the trim that costs though!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 44 boards came in at £836 I spent at least £600 on trim! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 This is James Hardie Linea for the horizontal and HardiePlank for the vertical. It is smooth finish as I am not keen on the "woodgrain" look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
