Composite cladding blends wood fibre with polymers to create boards that hold a rich, natural look without the upkeep of real timber. It won’t rot, warp, or feed moss the way wood can, and the colour runs deeper than a surface coat, so it weathers our heavy coastal rain and UV gracefully over the years.
It’s a premium, architect-favourite material — long boards, tight reveals, and finishes ranging from charred-wood looks to clean greys. As with any rainscreen-era cladding here, the assembly is what matters: composite stands off the sheathing on an open, vented cavity that lets air circulate behind the boards, with concealed fasteners and expansion gaps sized for the seasonal swing, so the wall dries out and panels stay flat.
Because boards and clip systems vary by manufacturer, the detailing has to follow each product’s specs to keep the warranty valid — something we plan from the very first course. We install full composite cladding systems on contemporary homes and feature walls, integrating trims and transitions so the look stays seamless from corner to corner.
