Co-extruded composite wall cladding offers a number of advantages over traditional cladding materials such as wood, PVC, or regular composite. Here’s a breakdown of its key benefits:
Product size:
Product features:
- Enhanced Durability - Multi-layer protection: The outer cap layer (often made of engineering-grade polymers) is co-extruded with the core, creating a protective barrier against moisture, UV rays, and physical damage. Weather resistance: It resists cracking, warping, rotting, and swelling caused by extreme weather conditions.
- Low Maintenance - No painting or staining: Unlike timber, co-extruded cladding retains its colour and finish for years. Easy cleaning: Dirt and stains can typically be washed off with water and mild detergent.
- Aesthetic Appeal - Natural wood look: High-definition surface textures and colour variations closely mimic the look of natural timber.
Colour stability: The cap layer great reduces fading, ensuring the cladding maintains its appearance for longer.
- Environmental Sustainability - Recycled content: Co-extruded composites use recycled wood fibres and plastics, reducing environmental impact. Long lifespan: Its extended durability reduces the need for frequent replacements.
- Cost-Effective Over Time - Lower lifecycle cost: Though the initial cost may be higher than traditional wood, savings on maintenance, repairs, and replacement make it more cost-effective in the long run.
- Greater resistance to Insects and Fungi - Insect-proof: The composite material is not a food source for insects or other pests.
Mould and mildew resistance: The impermeable cap layer prevents moisture penetration that fosters fungal growth.
- Easy Installation - Interlocking systems: Crete CoEx comes with concealed fixings and interlocking designs, speeding up installation and improving the aesthetic. Lightweight options: Easier to transport and install compared to some traditional materials.
