Contact usWhat is composite cladding?
Composite cladding is a material mixed with wood fibers and eco-friendly polymer resin plastics. Composite cladding is more durable than regular timber or wooden cladding but has the unique appearance and feel of natural wood.
What is UltraShield?
UltraShield is recognised worldwide for its robustness, beauty and versatile colour combinations. UltraShield is an environmentally friendly fully capped wood plastic composite. Years of engineering and countless hours of field-testing has yielded a product of unmatched performance and beauty. UltraShield combines the proven strength of high density polyethylene plastic and wood fibers with an outer shell of polymer that completely encapsulates the board in an impermeable layer of protection from stains & fading.
Is UltraShield environmentally friendly?
Our products are made from 95% recycled materials, including clear plastic bottles and reclaimed wood fibers. We’ve reduced our carbon footprint through waste reduction, energy conservation and a vertically integrated manufacturing process. Every month we save over 12,000,000 pounds of plastic from being buried in landfills.
Is UltraShield low maintenance?
UltraShield’s premium shield encapsulates the board in an impermeable layer of protection. This makes UltraShield stain and fade resistant. The boards are waterproof so only sweeping and cleaning off debris and dirt is required for upkeep; ultra low maintenance and easily wiped clean.
How strong is UltraShield?
UltraShield has been means tested above global regulatory standards. Lab testing rarely mimics real life, so we went above and beyond to make sure that you have peace of mind and that you can rely on our composite cladding.
Will colour fade because of the sun?
Hundreds of hours of direct UV testing has left minimal change to the colour of UltraShield Composite Boards.

Does composite cladding cost more than timber cladding?
In the short term composite cladding will cost more than a wooden deck. However, a wooden deck will require maintenance such as oiling or painting every year to keep it looking good. UltraShield is nearly maintenance free and has a longer life span than regular cladding.
Does UltraShield work like wood?
You can cut, nail, drill, screw and rout UltraShield with standard woodworking tools. The density of UltraShield is greater than wood so we recommend using a carbide tipped blade.
Is UltraShield impervious to mould?
UltraShield has mould inhibitors that prevent it growing on the inside of the board. Surface mould can still happen but this can be easily wiped clean and it will never penetrate UltraShields premium shield.
