Why bison composite batten cladding is proving popular
Bison Composite Batten Cladding gives garden rooms and extensions a clean timber-effect finish, without the upkeep of traditional timber.
Since it arrived at Southern Sheeting this summer, it’s become a popular choice with customers looking for the look of cedar or larch slatted cladding in a more practical material.
It’s strong, low maintenance and easy to install. It also stands up well to everyday weather, which makes it a good option for home projects, garden buildings and extensions.
Here are five reasons customers are choosing it.
1. Cost-effective
You get the look of timber, without the regular painting or staining.
The boards are easy to clean and won’t deteriorate in the same way as traditional timber.
2. Long lasting
Bison Composite Batten Cladding comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
It is also UV resistant, so it will not fade as quickly as painted timber.
3. Made with recycled materials
Bison composite planks are made from 95% recycled materials, using a mix of recycled wood fibres and plastic.
Because the boards are built to last, they can also be a practical choice for customers who want to reduce waste over time.
4. Quick to install
The system is straightforward to fit for a professional tradesperson or a competent DIYer.
There are only a few main components to work with: cladding planks, edge boards, L corners and steel drip trims.
The boards come in 2.7m lengths, so installation can be quicker than traditional timber cladding.
5. Hard wearing and low maintenance
The composite boards are durable and finished with Bison’s 3D embossed timber-effect shell cap.
They are designed to resist scratching, fading, rotting, twisting and splintering.
For upkeep, a clean once a year is usually enough.
Traditional timber will still be the right choice for some projects. But if you want a timber-effect finish with less maintenance, composite batten cladding is worth a look.
