External Panelling

Our external panelling range makes it easy to achieve a clean, modern finish that delivers on looks, longevity and low maintenance.

It’s an inspired choice when you’re looking to upgrade your garden, renovate an outbuilding, or tidy up a tired wall or fence.

This is because it’s custom designed to augment the outside of your property, without the faff of constant upkeep, and with the added benefits of being speedy to install, built to last and easy on the eye.

All you need is the right cladding materials and know-how to help you do great DIY or professional jobs the first time, and every time.

What Is External Panelling – and Why Use It?

External panelling (also known as cladding) is a smart, practical way to upgrade outdoor walls, fences, sheds, and other structures, with zero need for painting or staining.

It adds instant curb appeal, protects the surfaces underneath, and helps insulate buildings against weather and noise.

Some common uses for slat wall cladding include:

  • Revamping old summerhouses, sheds or garages
  • Creating stylish boundary walls and fencing
  • Adding interest to facades, porches, balconies or patios
  • Covering up drainpipes or uneven brickwork
  • Adding privacy when fencing has gaps or isn’t high enough
  • Upgrading commercial, hospitality and retail exteriors in need of a freshen up

What’s more, external wall cladding is a cost-effective way to transform many different spaces, from small garden glow ups to large-scale outdoor makeovers.

The TRUclad® Composite Cladding Difference

Our premium TRUclad® slat wall cladding offers a beautiful natural wood effect finish without the downsides of real timber. It’s made using recycled plastic and wood powder, resulting in an eco-conscious choice for maximum impact with minimal effort.

Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Durable and weather resistant – Less than 1% water absorption
  • Co-extruded composite structure – No warping, twisting or rotting
  • Three elegant colours to suit any style:
    • Florence Mist – a soft, pale woodgrain effect
    • Parma Teak – rich, warm, and ideal for traditional tones
    • Venice Grey – a sleek, modern charcoal finish
  • Child- and pet-friendly – No sharp edges and splinters
  • Low maintenance – An occasional wipe down is all it needs
  • Thermal and sound insulation – Helps regulate temperature and noise
  • 15-year guarantee – For both residential and light commercial use
  • 25-year design life – Long lasting results you can count on

Next Generation Cladding

Our premium yet affordable external panelling slots creatively into all sorts of outdoor plans, from giving your back garden a facelift to upgrading the front of your business:

  • Freshen up garden or yard walls – Tired of looking at dull brick or stained render? External panelling is a simple, effective way to give your walls a uniform, contemporary finish.
  • Upgrade outbuildings and garden rooms – Transform your shed, garage, office pod or summerhouse from an afterthought to an eye-catching feature, with the added bonus of no need for repainting every year.
  • Hide unsightly features – Use cladding to disguise external pipework, cracked walls, or any features you’d rather not look at and be seen. It’s a quick win that makes a big difference.
  • Spruce up fencing – Add height and privacy to fences or reinforce old panels in need of a new lease of life.
  • Think beyond the walls – Slat wall cladding also works on the ceilings of covered areas like verandas, balconies or sheltered garden seating.
