Outdoor / Coordinated vertical profiles For the trade
Composite exterior cladding.
Explore flat and castellated composite cladding directions alongside the outdoor range. Specify vertical applications as their own facade system, rather than reusing a decking brief.
Product knowledge01 / Understand
A different application. Its own detail.
Exterior cladding profiles can coordinate the visual language of decking and other outdoor products. Flat and castellated sections create different facade rhythms and have different edge and fixing details.
A vertical application needs its own support, ventilation, drainage and fixing specification. Fire, wind and weather requirements depend on the product, building and destination market.
We develop cladding directions with the actual substrate, surface and profile confirmed. Do not transfer decking test results or installation assumptions to a facade application.
Coordinate the transitions
Resolve corners, starts, ends, openings and supporting battens with the cladding profile.
The buying decision02 / Specify

Questions from product teams
A clearer
specification.
Can decking boards always be used as cladding?
No. Suitability needs an approved cladding application, fixing system and supporting evidence.
Do matching colour names guarantee an exact match?
No. Different profiles or surface processes can change colour and reflection. Approve the actual components together.
