Durable Engineered Composite Material

 

Dura Cladding composite timber is an ever increasingly popular choice for finishing the outside of commercial and domestic buildings. Otherwise known as weather-boarding or siding, standard or timber effect cladding is an attractive and economical way to finish the exterior of both new and refurbished buildings. Dura Cladding provides a hardwearing, protective layer against the elements and is an excellent insulator.

 

Eco FriendlyWood Plastic Composites

 

Dura Cladding is produced from wood plastic composite (WPC) which is manufactured by an extrusion process using a mix of recycled plastics and hardwood wastes with various bespoke additives. WPC is an immensely versatile material which combines the traditional appearance of timber with the durability and resilience of an engineered composite. It is available in a tasteful range of colours and profile sections.

 

Long-Life Weathering Properties

 

Dura Cladding benefits from a natural appearance, long life, light weight, low maintenance, non warping, non rotting, corrosion and electrical resistant, low installation cost, long service life and is UV Stable.

 

Dura Cladding products compete very favourably on a life cycle cost basis versus traditional materials due to their minimal maintenance needs and long lifespan.

 

Dura Cladding is designed and has been tested to withstand extreme weather conditions. Various standard cladding profiles are available together with a comprehensive selection of trims, accessories and stainless steel fixing screws etc.
