Are you looking for decking and cladding to be made of materials that look beautiful, last a long time, and require little (or minimum) upkeep?
For your new house build, composite cladding checks all these boxes and is a great option. Composite cladding is quickly growing in popularity as an alternative cladding option, and it’s understandable why.
We’ll go through the top 5 advantages of using composite materials for your cladding needs in this article.
1.Low Maintenance
Since composite boards are pre-finished, they are the best low-maintenance choice for your house. When you choose high-quality composite boards, you won’t have to spend your weekends laboriously maintaining them for the next 25 years.
They won’t deteriorate over time, don’t need painting or staining, and can be simply cleaned with soapy water or a pressure washer if they get dirty.
Composite materials will save you a ton of time and money over the years when compared to the annual painting or staining that timber needs to maintain its beautiful looks.
2.Eco-friendly
Wooden chips, recyclable materials, and polymer resins are combined to create composite cladding. These materials include plastic and timber fibers.
By using materials that would otherwise wind up in landfills, composite cladding boards prevent the need to use up natural resources. Additionally, they are offered in predetermined lengths, which lowers waste and has a positive effect on the environment.
3.Splendid Appearance
You can pick the ideal composite material for your new home among a variety of appealing colors and finishes that mimic timber grain. They can also be fixed in a clean, tidy manner by applying covert fixes.
Additionally, unlike wood, composite cladding boards won’t degrade over time. You won’t have to spend hours over the years painting, staining, or resealing them to keep them looking nice or worry about them warping, splitting, or cracking.
4.Strong Durability
Composite materials combine the advantages of plastic and wood because they are formed of these two components. The wood gives your boards more stiffness and makes them less likely to break, while the plastic protects you from just about any weather-related hazards.
As a result, the cladding almost maintain themselves. You’ll receive up to 25 -30 years of maintenance-free living along with a magnificent façade that will make your neighbors green with envy.
Final Word on Composite Cladding
When you’re building a new home or renovating house, make sure you can weigh the advantages and disadvantages of timber vs. composite materials for your cladding needs.
Although composite materials may initially cost a little more, there are major long-term advantages. Upgrading to composite cladding may be a wise move because of these advantages, which include long-term cost and labor savings as well as a less environmental impact.
