Maintenance free
No painting, staining or oiling. An occasional wash helps keep the cladding looking its best.
Slatted
Give your garden room a slatted exterior
A slatted finish adds a repeated vertical line to the outside of your garden room. Our slatted cladding is composite, so it brings the same benefits as our standard composite boards: it holds its colour and never needs painting, staining or oiling.
Discuss the available profile and material with us, then consider how much of the building you want to finish in that style.
Specification & options
Vertical detail, without timber upkeep
The repeated vertical profile adds depth and texture to the exterior. It works as a feature beside the entrance or across a larger elevation for a more consistent contemporary finish.
Noah’s slatted cladding is composite, not timber, so it does not need painting, staining or oiling.

Care follows our guidance for each cladding. See Maintenance and Aftercare for more.
Whichever you choose, we fit a breathable waterproof membrane and an air gap behind every board.
Starting: included in that range’s starting price. Signature starts with cedar on the front and the Grey SIP finish elsewhere.

Specification & options
A feature finish where it matters most
Choose the elevations you want to emphasise, such as the front seen from the house or the side facing a patio. The slatted profile gives those areas a different texture from plain boards.
We agree the coverage and adjoining finishes with the design, including how the cladding meets doors, windows and corners.
Next steps
Check the finish before you choose
Ask what samples or display examples are currently available. Look at the profile up close as well as imagining it from the house or patio.
Like our standard composite, slatted cladding is maintenance free, so the decision comes down to the look you want and the price.
Is slatted cladding made from wood?
No. Our slatted cladding is composite, with the same low-maintenance benefits as our standard composite cladding.
Is this the same as acoustic wall panelling?
No. This page concerns exterior cladding. Do not assume an acoustic benefit from a slatted appearance.
Can I have slatted cladding on a Pod?
No. Slatted cladding is offered on Garden Rooms, Signature and Granny Annexes. A Pod can have timber, Thermowood, composite or cedar.
How much does the option cost?
The price depends on the building, product and coverage. Ask us to quote the agreed design.
How do I clean slatted cladding?
Wash it with warm, soapy water once or twice a year, using a soft brush along the grooves between the slats, then rinse from the top down. Avoid wire brushes and harsh solvents, and in autumn clear away any leaves that gather along the bottom.
