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

Traditional woodgrain appearance in a modern Anthracite finish
Durable, weather-resistant and low-maintenance composite construction
Manufactured using recycled hardwood and recycled HDPE plastic
Concealed click-fit installation system with a 10-year guarantee

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.

Supporting battens should be installed at a maximum of 400mm centres. Correct batten spacing provides adequate support and helps maintain a secure, consistent cladding installation.

Great Product Backed by First-Class Brissco Service

We chose the 3C Anthracite cladding for a full exterior renovation and are delighted with it. It has the traditional appearance of timber cladding but with a much more contemporary colour, and not having to regularly paint or stain it was a major reason for choosing composite. The hidden fixing arrangement is particularly good. Once everything clicks together, the wall has a continuous finish with no visible screws. It looks far more expensive than we expected.

Richard

Excellent Composite Cladding for the Price

We've fitted various types of composite cladding, and this 3C system represents really good value. The boards fit together neatly, the woodgrain surface looks natural and the concealed installation system produces a very tidy finish. We used Anthracite on a workshop with grey windows and the completed building looks superb. Being made partly from recycled hardwood and plastic was another positive for us. Brissco were excellent as usual. Friendly staff who know the products they sell, straightforward ordering and the 3.6m lengths arrived safely without damage. We'll definitely be ordering more for future projects.

Peter

Really Smart Finish and Easy to Install

Bought this cladding for an old outbuilding that needed completely updating. What a difference it has made. The Anthracite colour looks fantastic and the hidden fixings mean there are no rows of screws spoiling the finished appearance. The 3.6m boards were easy enough to cut and work with, and the composite feels strong and substantial once fitted. It's also great knowing we won't have the regular maintenance associated with timber.

George

Looks Like Timber Without All the Maintenance

I wanted timber-style cladding for an extension but didn't want something that would need staining or painting every couple of years. This 3C composite cladding was the perfect alternative. The woodgrain effect looks convincing and the Anthracite finish works brilliantly with our black windows and doors. Installation was straightforward once the first board was level, and the click system made the rest of the wall progress quickly.

Completely Transformed Our Garden Room

We used the Anthracite 3C cladding on our new garden room and couldn't be happier with the finished result. The woodgrain texture gives it the character of timber, while the anthracite colour makes the building look really modern. The concealed fixing system is excellent. Once the boards are installed you can't see any screws, leaving a very clean and professional finish. Brissco were extremely helpful with quantities and accessories, and delivery arrived exactly when arranged. Great product and excellent service from Brissco.
