145mm Anthracite 3C Traditional Composite Cladding 3.6m
Low-Maintenance Woodgrain Composite Cladding for a Traditional Finish
The 145mm Anthracite 3C Traditional Composite Cladding combines the appearance of traditional timber cladding with the durability and low-maintenance benefits of modern composite materials. Featuring an attractive woodgrain-effect surface and contemporary Anthracite finish, it provides a smart exterior covering for garden rooms, home extensions, outbuildings, offices, workshops and renovation projects.
Manufactured from a carefully engineered blend of approximately 55% recycled hardwood, 35% recycled HDPE plastic and 10% additives, 3C Composite Cladding makes use of recycled materials while creating a strong and weather-resistant exterior board. Unlike traditional timber cladding, it doesn't require regular painting, staining or treating to maintain its appearance.
Each board measures 145mm wide x 3.6m long and features a clever concealed installation system. The first board is secured to the supporting battens before the next board clicks into position, hiding the fixings and creating a clean, consistent finish across the wall.
Key Features
For correct installation, the supporting framework should be securely constructed with batten centres not exceeding 400mm. Where two 3C cladding boards meet at a butt joint, double framework is required to provide adequate support and fixing for both board ends.
The composite construction is designed to cope with the demands of exterior applications while significantly reducing the maintenance associated with conventional timber. There's no need for annual painting or staining, making it particularly well suited to buildings where a long-lasting and easy-care exterior is important.
Whether you're finishing a new garden room, modernising an outbuilding or adding cladding to a home extension, 145mm Anthracite 3C Traditional Composite Cladding 3.6m provides an attractive, practical and cost-effective way to achieve the character of timber with the everyday advantages of composite cladding.
