Common questions about composite cladding, exterior wall panels and shiplap boards from yumiHome.
Composite cladding is low-maintenance exterior cladding fitted to walls, sheds, garden rooms and outdoor structures. Unlike timber, composite cladding boards resist rot, warping and insect damage while giving a realistic woodgrain finish — ideal for UK gardens year-round.
Our boards are wood plastic composite cladding — a blend of recycled wood fibres and polymer moulded into durable outdoor cladding panels. You get the look of timber with far less maintenance: no annual staining, sealing or treating.
Composite cladding boards are £25 each for 3.6m woodgrain lengths, depending on colour. Measure your wall area and allow for fixings and trim waste before ordering. Trade account customers can access installer pricing.
We stock grey, silver grey, black, ash, oak, teak and red brown woodgrain boards. For a bold modern finish, browse black composite cladding, or order a free cladding sample to compare at home.
Shiplap cladding has a profiled edge so boards overlap for a classic timber look with better weather protection. Our composite shiplap cladding gives that traditional exterior style without the rot and fading of real wood — a popular choice for sheds and garden buildings.
For most UK homeowners, external composite cladding wins on upkeep — it will not rot, splinter or need yearly treatment. Timber can suit heritage projects, but composite offers fade-resistant colour, a 10-year warranty and easy cutting for DIY installs.
Use suitable composite cladding screws fixed into battens at around 400mm centres. The same fixings work for decking — browse our decking accessories range for screws and clips. See our installation guides for full steps.
