Cladding

Learn more about cladding

Cladding is used to create a practical external finish for walls, roofline areas and building elevations. For trade jobs, it can help complete repair, refurbishment and new build work where the outer face of a structure needs a neat, suitable finish. 

Within our range, you can find cladding options for different project requirements, with product details available to help check suitability before ordering. When planning a cladding job, consider the building type, exposure, fixing method, section size and any adjacent materials. Always check the individual product specification to confirm dimensions, finish, handling guidance and installation requirements.

Typical uses

• External wall finishing for domestic, commercial and outbuilding projects where a clean outer layer is required. 

• Refurbishment jobs where cladding is being fitted as part of wider exterior improvement work. 

• Building repair work where cladding is being planned alongside bricks and blocks. 

How to choose the right cladding

• Check the product specification to confirm the material, size, finish and intended application before adding it to your cut list. 

• Match the cladding to the job, whether it is for repair work, refurbishment, exterior finishing or a wider roofing project. 

• Consider the substrate and fixing method, as different installations may need different fixings or preparation. 

• Review the colour and profile where stated, especially when matching existing elevations or completing visible finishing work. 

• Check whether any adjoining materials are needed, such as planed timber for related detailing. 

• Make sure the chosen cladding is suitable for the location and installation conditions shown in the product details. 

Before you order

• Measure the installation area carefully and build your cut list around the stated product dimensions. 

• Allow for cuts, joins and waste so the quantity ordered supports the full job. 

• Confirm product availability before procurement, particularly if the job needs consistent batches or staged ordering. 

• Check handling and storage guidance in the product specification before materials arrive on site. 

• Confirm site access and unloading arrangements before choosing collection or delivery options. 

• Review whether related materials need to be ordered at the same time to avoid delays during installation.
