Timber cladding in Irish weather means a long-term commitment to oiling and repair. Composite removes that maintenance burden — the recycled polymer and wood-fibre blend won't rot, split in frost, or need refinishing. Where Grey fits A versatile mid-tone that sits comfortably against brick, render, and stone. A safe, flexible choice for extensions where you're matching existing materials. Installation guidance Fix to a battened substrate with a ventilation cavity behind the boards.
