What is Composite Cladding?
Composite cladding is a high-performance WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) material engineered for structural stability, thermal insulation, and outdoor durability.
It combines recycled wood content with advanced polymer technology to resist moisture, UV degradation, staining, and biological decay.
The result is a dimensionally stable, low-maintenance exterior wall solution that enhances both the aesthetics and performance of residential, hospitality, and commercial buildings.

How to Choose
Follow these four simple steps to select the right composite cladding solution for your project.
Choose Your Space Type
Identify where the cladding will be installed — residential facades, commercial buildings, or renovation projects.
Different environments require specific considerations in terms of weather exposure, insulation performance, and architectural integration.
Select Color & Texture
Choose a finish that complements your architectural style and surrounding materials.
Consider factors like sunlight exposure, long-term color stability, and how the cladding will enhance the building’s overall aesthetics.
Decide DIY or Contractor Installation
Determine whether the project will be self-installed or handled by a professional contractor.
Installation method impacts the cladding system, fastening, and substructure planning.
Confirm Accessories & Substructure
Ensure the appropriate support system, fasteners, and ventilation spacing are specified.
A well-planned substructure is crucial for the durability and long-term performance of the cladding system.
Installation Guide
Follow these essential steps to ensure a safe, stable, and long-lasting cladding installation.
Prepare Substructure
Install horizontal joists onto the wall with proper spacing and alignment.
Ensure adequate ventilation gaps to support moisture control and thermal movement.
Install Panels with Clip System
Insert the first panel into starter clips and secure connector clips to the joists.
Continue installing panels by locking each board into place using the concealed fixing system.
Finish & Secure Edges
Measure and trim the final panel if needed, then pre-drill and secure it properly.
Complete the installation with corner trims and L trims for a clean, architectural finish.
Maintenance & Care
Simple maintenance helps preserve appearance and long-term performance.
Routine Cleaning
Clean the surface periodically using mild soap and water to remove dirt, dust, and organic debris.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools to protect the cladding finish.
Seasonal Care in Canadian Weather
Inspect joints and trims during seasonal transitions, ensuring proper drainage and ventilation.
Remove snow buildup near wall bases to prevent prolonged moisture exposure.
Surface Marks & Maintenance
For stains, clean promptly to prevent discoloration.
Minor surface marks may fade over time, while persistent spots can be treated with recommended cleaning solutions.
Cost & Lifespan
Understand the key factors that influence upfront cost and long-term value.
