Composite wood cladding and fluted panelling offers so much in the way of practicality, gorgeous aesthetics, and maintenance-free style that lasts. So, it’s no wonder that our beautiful range of cladding continues to be a best seller.
There are so many different applications for composite wood cladding that allow for creative and functional features on homes, offices, hotels, malls, and open public areas.
Interesting Ways to Use Composite Wood Cladding and Fluted Panelling
There are many applications for cladding to create something very special in your space. Here are some different ways that Best Deck has been using our beautiful composite wood for some remarkable projects:
Enhance the Outdoor Aesthetic
Using composite wood cladding or fluted panelling on the outside of your whole home is a fantastic way to make a statement. Whether vertical or horizontal, it is a contemporary and timeless way to adorn the building and make it stand out. It makes the structure blend in well with its natural surroundings, requires no maintenance, and is easy to keep clean.

Feature Wall
Instead of cladding the entire building, some clients have chosen to create a feature space with the use of our top-notch cladding products. So, whether they use it on one complete wall, or they choose to clad the entire upper or lower levels of the structure, this is a lovely way to add texture and interest to the aesthetic. When used on a feature wall, it can also help to define a certain area (e.g. a braai area, food court, or a corner for the little ones to play).
Disguise
When there has been extensive damage to a wall or it simply doesn’t fit in with your aesthetic, a great way to disguise and cover it is to clad it. This can work on external garden walls too.

Thinking Out of the Box
Use some innovation with your cladding. Instead of a traditional balustrade for a balcony or a flight of stairs, opt for cladding. You can also use it to separate areas and provide privacy (between the house and the swimming pool, for example).

Privacy Without Compromise
Cladding over large windows with our fascia planks or 100 x 50 handrail can allow some light to come through a gap left between the slats without allowing everyone to see exactly what’s happening inside. This is a stunning idea for hotels, restaurants, and malls that want the best of both worlds.
