Composite Cladding Boards for UK Exterior Walls
You can transform any tired exterior walls with durable, UV-resistant composite cladding from Enrico HomeDecor.
Our interlocking composite cladding panels combine the attractive appearance of timber with a cleaner, more consistent finish that requires considerably less ongoing attention than traditional wooden boards.
Each panel measures 2.9 metres long, with an overall width of 147mm and an installed cover width of approximately 135mm. The interlocking profile helps create evenly spaced lines and a neat, contemporary exterior.
Can be used on homes, extensions, garden rooms, garages, offices, sheds and other outdoor structures, subject to the requirements of the building and the complete external wall system.

Why choose Enrico composite decking
Why Choose Enrico Composite Cladding?
Create a natural-looking exterior without the regular upkeep required by traditional timber cladding. Enrico composite cladding provides a consistent wood-effect finish that gives homes, extensions, garden rooms, garages and feature walls a modern appearance. It also works well alongside UK building materials such as brick, render, glass and aluminium.
The panels are UV resistant, helping to reduce the effects of prolonged sunlight on their colour and appearance. Some gradual weathering may still occur depending on the chosen colour, location, wall direction, exposure and maintenance.
Each board measures 147mm wide and provides an installed cover width of approximately 135mm once correctly interlocked. The overlapping design creates clean, even lines and helps make material calculations easier.
At 2.9 metres long, the boards can cover many wall sections with fewer horizontal joins. Composite cladding also needs less maintenance than natural timber, usually requiring only occasional cleaning instead of regular sanding, staining or repainting.
Why choose Enrico composite decking
How to Calculate Your Required Quantity
Because our composite panels feature a 1.2 cm concealed interlock joint, area calculations must be based on the net visible width (13.5 cm) rather than the gross panel width (14.7 cm).
Coverage per 2.9m Panel = 0.135m (width) x 2.9 m (length) = 0.39
Calculate total wall surface area: Multiply wall width (m) by wall height (m) to determine total square metres (m2). Subtract window and door openings.
Determine required panel count: Divide net surface area (m2) by 0.3915 m2.
Account for offcuts and waste: Add 10% for standard installations, or 15% for diagonal layouts and complex window reveals.
Architectural Comparison: Material Selection Matrix
Choosing decking is a decision you live with for years, so it pays to understand exactly what you are standing on. Enrico composite decking is engineered to give you the warmth and character of real timber without the endless upkeep - no annual sanding, staining or sealing, and none of the splintering, warping or rot that eventually catches up with traditional softwood.
Every board is made from a carefully balanced blend of reclaimed hardwood fibre and recycled polymer, pressed into a dense, hard-wearing profile that shrugs off scratches, spills and the worst of the British weather. The result is a surface that stays stable underfoot, resists fading and stains, and holds its colour and grain far longer than natural wood - season after season, with almost nothing asked of you in return.
Our range is built around two capping options, Enrico Classic and Enrico Shield Capped, so you can match the finish to how your space is really used, whether that is a quiet garden corner or a busy family terrace. Both install cleanly over standard joists and both are backed by our commitment to quality and careful, considered delivery.
The tables below set out precisely what goes into every board and how our decking compares to traditional softwood across the measures that matter most: maintenance, durability, slip resistance and lifespan. Take a moment to read through them - they are the clearest way to see why composite is the smarter long-term investment for your garden, and which Enrico finish is the right fit for your project.

Why choose Enrico composite decking
Composite Material Environmental Sustainability & Responsibility
We understand that building new homes shouldn't mean destroying our planet by forcing the cutting down of forests and regularly coating walls in chemical paints.
So, our composite cladding uses closed-loop recycling—which simply means taking waste that would normally end up in a rubbish dump and turning it into strong, long-lasting composite panels.
Recycled High-Density Plastic (HDPE): Sourced from everyday household waste like recycled milk bottles and plastic packaging. Plastic doesn't rot, so wrapping the wood fibres in recycled plastic creates a completely waterproof shield.
Zero Deforestation: Eliminates the need for freshly harvested timber, helping protect natural forest ecosystems.
10% Safe Protective Additives: Includes eco-friendly dyes and light shields called Hindered Amine Light Stabilisers (HALS). These stop solar UV rays from fading our composite cladding panel colours over time.
