Stylish External Cladding
External cladding is one of the simplest ways to protect and transform your home. It shields your walls from the weather, improves insulation, and creates a modern finish that lasts for years without constant upkeep.
At The Plastics Shed we supply three proven solutions: uPVC shiplap cladding, Coastline composite cladding, and Triton slatted cladding. Our uPVC boards are lightweight, easy to cut, and resistant to rot or warping, making them ideal for DIY or trade projects. Coastline composite offers the premium look and feel of natural timber in a wide choice of colours, while Triton’s slatted design gives a bold, contemporary style that stands out.
All three are designed for the British climate, with no painting or ongoing treatment required. Whatever your project, you’ll get cladding that’s simple to install, durable in all seasons, and guaranteed to look good year after year.
Why Use External Wall Cladding?
Built to Protect. Designed to Impress
External wall cladding isn’t just about improving your home’s appearance – it adds an extra layer of protection from the elements.
From keeping out wind and rain to reducing heat loss, cladding plays a crucial role in both performance and style.
Whether you’re renovating a tired exterior or building from scratch, uPVC and composite cladding offer long-lasting, low-maintenance alternatives to timber that won’t rot, warp, or require constant repainting.
