145mm Slate Grey 3C Traditional Composite Cladding 3.6m

Low-Maintenance Woodgrain Composite Cladding

The 145mm Slate Grey 3C Traditional Composite Cladding combines the attractive appearance of traditional timber cladding with the durability and low-maintenance benefits of modern composite materials. Featuring a realistic woodgrain-effect surface and a versatile Slate Grey finish, it provides a smart exterior covering for garden rooms, home extensions, outbuildings, offices, workshops and renovation projects.

Manufactured from approximately 55% recycled hardwood, 35% recycled HDPE plastic and 10% additives, 3C Composite Cladding makes use of recycled materials while providing a strong and weather-resistant exterior board. Unlike traditional timber cladding, there's no need for regular painting, staining or treating, helping keep ongoing maintenance to a minimum.

Each board measures 145mm wide x 3.6m long and incorporates a clever concealed fixing system. The board is screwed directly to the supporting battens before the next board clicks into position over the fixing, hiding the screws from view and creating a neat, consistent finish across the completed wall.

Key Features

Traditional woodgrain-effect surface with a contemporary Slate Grey finish
Durable, weather-resistant and low maintenance
Manufactured using recycled hardwood and HDPE plastic
Concealed click-fit installation system with a 10-year guarantee

For a strong and reliable installation, supporting batten centres should not exceed 400mm. When installing onto timber framework, all supporting battens or joists should be securely fixed at the correct centres. Where two 3C cladding boards meet at a butt joint, double framework is required to ensure both board ends are properly supported and secured.

The Slate Grey colour offers a softer alternative to Black or Anthracite while retaining a modern appearance, making it an excellent choice for contemporary garden buildings, extensions and exterior renovation projects.

The 145mm Slate Grey 3C Traditional Composite Cladding 3.6m provides a practical and cost-effective alternative to timber, delivering attractive woodgrain styling with the durability, weather resistance and easy-care performance of modern composite cladding.

Quality Cladding with First-Class Brissco Service

We've fitted the Slate Grey 3C cladding on a couple of exterior projects now and have been very impressed with it. The boards feel solid, the colour is consistent and the click-together design creates a tidy, uniform finish. It's a good choice for customers wanting the traditional appearance of timber with much less ongoing maintenance. The recycled hardwood and plastic content is another useful benefit, particularly for customers looking for alternatives to conventional timber products.

Daniel

Smart Colour and Easy to Install

Bought this cladding to update an old workshop and it's made a massive difference. Slate Grey is a great colour and works really well with our white windows and black guttering. The woodgrain finish looks convincing and gives the building a much more expensive appearance than we expected. The boards were easy to cut and fit, and the concealed screws are a big improvement over cladding systems with visible fixings.

Adrian

Great Alternative to Timber Cladding

We originally considered painted timber for our extension but decided on the 3C composite because we wanted something with less maintenance. The Slate Grey gives us the timber-style appearance we were looking for without having to worry about regular painting or staining. Installation was straightforward and the boards fitted together neatly. Once completed, the hidden fixings make the whole wall look very professional.

Tim

Fantastic Finish on Our Garden Room

We used the Slate Grey 3C cladding on our new garden room and are really pleased with how it has turned out. The grey is a lovely shade that looks modern without being too dark, and the woodgrain texture gives it much more character than a plain cladding board. The concealed fixing system works really well and leaves a clean finish with no screws showing. Brissco were very helpful with working out the quantities and making sure we had all the trims required. Delivery was well organised and everything arrived safely. Excellent product and service.
