WPC Cladding. What is it and is it better than wood?
WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) cladding is a durable and low-maintenance cladding material made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic. It offers the natural appearance of wood while being resistant to rot, splintering, and insects, making it ideal for outdoor use, especially in harsh climates. WPC cladding is eco-friendly, as it often incorporates recycled materials, and its weather resistance makes it a popular choice for tropical settings. Additionally, it requires minimal upkeep, as it doesn’t need painting, sealing, or staining, offering long-lasting performance with ease of maintenance. With a secure method of fixing cladding to walls this helps prevent the ingress of moisture into your home. We also have a range of cladding options not just for the outside of your house but also the inside. Fluted, ribbed, horizontal or vertical, your home will stand out not just after building but for years to come.
By the end of the 80s WPC was becoming more popular for products such as door and window frames, park benches, and indoor furniture and now cladding. In the early 1990s WPC composites were introduced into the cladding market along side other WPC products, while WPC for fencing and decking solutions continued to gain popularity. Where normal timber can rot and warp, is prone to insect damage and requires regular maintenance, WPC dos not suffer from these issues.
Finally we have introduced these products into our kitset homes offering you better options at better prices.
Looking like new after years of exposure the first thing that will be easily forgotten is how much time was spent on traditional painted surfaces.

Benefits of using WPC materials over Wood
Advantages of using composite cladding
Since composite cladding boards are made of both plastic and wood you don’t have to worry about it warping, splitting, or developing other defects. On top of that, you don’t have to treat it for termites or borer because these bugs won’t harm it. As a building material, it also offers several other advantages:
-
Low maintenance
Composite cladding doesn’t need to be stained, painted or refinished. You only need to wash it every once in a while using soapy water to keep it looking good.
-
Durable
Composite cladding manufacturers go to great lengths to ensure that their products are more durable than wood. Composite cladding can last over to thirty years with little to no problems. Other cladding materials can rot, corrode, warp and become brittle and may last up to 15 years if you’re lucky.
-
Hidden fasteners
Composite cladding is carefully designed to work with hidden fasteners. These fasteners not only hold the cladding in place at a very high level but also give you a complete and flawless look at the walls.
