Woodland Oak
WHAT COLOUR IS WOODLAND OAK?

Red Cedar
WHAT COLOUR IS RED CEDAR?
Durasid red cedar cladding is designed with the appearance of Western red cedar timber – it boasts a warm, red brown hue with a digitally printed natural-looking woodgrain design.
DOES RED CEDAR CLADDING GO GREY?
Our red cedar cladding from Durasid will not go grey. The colour will stay vibrant for years to come, thanks to the durable rigid foam material that Durasid is manufactured with.
DOES WESTERN RED CEDAR NEED TO BE TREATED?
No, Durasid red cedar cladding does not need to be treated. It is coloured throughout the entire board, so even if the top layers of the board are weathered away over time, the colour and quality will remain good as new.
HOW MUCH DOES WESTERN RED CEDAR COST?
Our red cedar cladding, inspired by natural Western red cedar timber, comes in 5 metre boards and is priced at £74.07 per board. This is a lower cost in the long run when compared with timber cladding, which will require a lot of maintenance and replacements over the years – Durasid cladding, on the other hand, is built to last!

African Padauk
WHAT COLOUR IS AFRICAN PADAUK?

WHAT CAN I USE AFRICAN PADAUK CLADDING FOR?
Durasid’s entire range of external cladding can be used for side faces, gables, bay windows, dormers, garden sheds, pool houses, and other constructions. Versatility and classic aesthetics make this cladding the perfect option for any property or project!

Siberian Larch
WHAT COLOUR IS SIBERIAN LARCH?
Durasid wood design cladding in Siberian larch is a warm, light brown – it's designed to mimic the colour and woodgrain pattern of traditional larch timber.
DOES SIBERIAN LARCH GO SILVER?
Unlike natural Siberian larch timber, Durasid’s Siberian larch cladding does not change in colour in any way. Natural Siberian larch timber does go silver over the years due to the way the wood weathers, but the rigid foam material of Durasid cladding is coloured throughout the board, so the colour will stay vibrant throughout the board’s lifespan.
HOW LONG DOES SIBERIAN LARCH CLADDING LAST?
Our Siberian larch cladding from Durasid is supplied with a 10-year UV guarantee, but generally will last far longer as long as it is kept clean and in good condition!

IS BARNWOOD GREY CLADDING STRONG?
Durasid’s barnwood grey cladding is highly impact resistant. If faced with impact, it won’t be damaged as other materials might be – it won’t dent or crack.

Sheffield Oak
WHAT COLOUR IS SHEFFIELD OAK?
Sheffield oak is the lightest shade that we offer in the Durasid wood design cladding range. It is a light, warm brown with hints of soft grey and white.
WILL SHEFFIELD OAK CLADDING STAIN?
As it’s the lightest colour of cladding in the collection, it’s only natural to worry about it staining when being exposed to the elements. However, not to worry – if you notice any dirt on your cladding, it can be washed away with water that is either clean or mixed with mild household cleaner. Any grease and oil stains that may occur can be removed with a simple household degreasing agent!

Durasid wood design cladding in grey cedar is a medium brown shade with undertones of grey and green. It’s a unique shade that’s a great choice if you want a natural look that stands out, too.
IS GREY CEDAR CLADDING GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?
Durasid’s grey cedar cladding gives you the best of both worlds in that if offers the appearance of natural timber, without requiring trees to be cut down for the material. Not only this, but any production waste created during manufacture is recycled, and the cladding can be completely recycled at the end of its lifetime.

Woodland Grey
WHAT COLOUR IS WOODLAND GREY?
Woodland grey cladding is a sophisticated yet rustic moss green shade, with hints of warm brown in the woodgrain design.
WHAT COLOURS GO WITH WOODLAND GREY?
Woodland grey can be perfectly complemented with natural shades of timber. For an airy look, try light wood shades with hints of white. For a more striking look, deep browns and blacks will create a nice contrast. If you’d like to emphasise the modern appearance of the cladding, try pairing it with hues of grey – or, to create a warm but bold effect, vibrant reddish-brown shades like terracotta or burnt orange create a beautiful complementary yet contrasting appearance.
