Cladding is tested to withstand extreme weather conditions including hurricane-force winds. Cladding holds its color over the life of the product, whereas IPE wood weathers over time if left untreated.

Cladding uses 95% recycled plastic film and reclaimed sawdust, and is backed by our 25- and 50-year warranties.

What is Cladding?

Cladding is a construction term that refers to the process of applying one building material over another, primarily to add a layer or protection against the environment. While an important factor in weather resistance, cladding also improves the insulating properties and aesthetic appearance of a building.

A properly installed cladding system helps a building resist cracking caused by extreme temperature fluctuations, sunlight, strong winds and airborne pollutants such as mold. Cladding protects the material underneath from moisture caused by rain and snow and, with certain materials, can require less annual maintenance.
