Finding the Right Composite Cladding Panels

Installing composite cladding panels is an easy, cost-effective way to give your property a fresh, new look, potentially raise its resale value, insulate it, and protect it from the elements. Given the durability, low maintenance requirements, and colour range of cladding made from composite materials, this eco-friendlier option is the obvious choice, but which colour option is the right one for you?

Discover BM Steel’s composite panel cladding colour options and find out how to choose the best option for your property with our guide.

What is composite panel cladding?

Panel cladding is cladding in panel form that you mount on the exterior walls of your home and/or other buildings to create a decorative or protective layer. Our composite cladding panels are manufactured using a mix of up to 55% reclaimed wood fibres and 45% recycled High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). There’s no need to treat, varnish, paint, or stain composite panel cladding. Wrapped completely in HDPE, our panels are UV stable, so they won’t fade, warp, or crack in direct sunlight.

Spiced Oak panel Our Spiced Oak panel has a classic brown tone that offers the warm look of natural timber. Creating a complete, sleek look, this option has wide appeal and is suitable for most projects. These cladding panels are an excellent alternative to timber.

Midnight panel The darkest colour in our range of composite cladding panels, Midnight is an enchanting charcoal black that’s ideal for contemporary looks and contrasting colour schemes. This colour’s a great choice if you want a modern statement colour. Consider combining Midnight cladding panels with richly green plants and brightly coloured flowers to create outdoor design focal points.

Silver Birch panel Our Silver Birch panels are much lighter than our oak-coloured composite panel cladding, but they still have a warmth that is suitable for rustic, modern, and Scandi-inspired aesthetics. The grey-brown of Silver Birch places this option among one of the most popular colour choices for current exterior and interior home design, namely grey. You can combine this colour with almost any other accent and colour option.

Flint panel The popular mid-grey colour of our Flint cladding panels is inspired by the natural concrete greys of the industrial sector, making it a fine choice for a minimalist, modern finish. Like other shades of grey, our Flint composite cladding panels are versatile enough to combine with a plethora of other colours and accents. They’re also great for creating design focal points in combination with flowers, foliage, and outdoor features.

Support for your composite cladding

Composite panel cladding requires reliable support if they are to offer decades of service. BM Steel offers a selection of composite battens designed to complement our slatted and panel composite cladding ranges. Using composite battens is as easy as fixing them to hard standing before screwing on cladding clips for speedy installation and a flawless finish.

What composite panel cladding is best?

There’s no difference in the composition of our composite panel cladding options, so the best choice for you comes down to colour, personal preferences, and design vision. Shades of black and greyer greys, such as Midnight and Flint, are perfect for a more contemporary look, while grey-browns and browns such as Silver Birch and Spiced Oak are ideal for a more classic or traditionalist look.
