The simple shiplap connection system makes installing your composite cladding straightforward, while the composite design provides increased resistance to moisture and staining compared with traditional timber.
Crafted for performance as much as aesthetics, the 150mm-wide, 20mm-thick boards are designed for strength and long-term durability. The dark Black finish creates a bold backdrop for planting, paving and other garden features, while customers looking to carry the same darker tones through their project can pair the cladding with Black composite decking.
Low-maintenance, weather-smart and style-forward, Black Smooth Cladding gives you a sleek exterior finish without the regular painting and staining associated with traditional timber.

Black creates a strong, uniform colour across an exterior, while the sanded surface gives this board a noticeably different appearance from our wood-grain finishes. A free sample is the best way to see the depth of the Black and the smooth surface together before choosing it for your project.
Whether scratches from pets or splatters of dirt, our black cladding hides imperfections, making it a strong choice for busy families.
Our smooth composite cladding is easy to wipe down and maintain, especially compared with wood cladding. Regular cleaning and maintenance can usually be handled with warm soapy water and a sponge or soft-bristle brush.
If you're comparing different cladding types, the plain sanded surface gives Black Smooth a cleaner, more uniform appearance than a pronounced wood-grain finish.
This timeless, adaptable colour blends with most styles. It's easy to see why this sleek shade retains its popularity year after year.

A Word from Our Expert, Allan Jeffrey BSc. Eng. (Hons), Composite Materials Specialist, Environmentalist, and CEO of Ultra Decking:
Black Smooth Cladding is a great option for customers looking for the benefits of composite without the larger price tag. It also comes in a longer 3.6m board compared with many of the options in our standard cladding collection, giving you a sleek, bold canvas of Black across larger exterior projects.
Like the rest of our smooth collection, these boards can show temporary water marks and tannin staining during the first few months as they go through their initial weathering. One slight advantage we’ve found with Black is that the bold, darker colour can make this early weathering process less noticeable than on some of our lighter smooth finishes.
From the feedback we’ve received over the years, the darker surface can also be forgiving when it comes to normal wear and tear, helping to disguise some minor scratches and everyday debris. We’ve also seen good longer-term colour stability from the Black finish, helping it retain its deeper, richer appearance as it naturally weathers.”
Absolutely! While our black composite cladding does absorb more heat than lighter colours like grey, it won’t become too hot to be around children and pets, so everyone stays safe during summer.
It really depends on the type of dirt. Dark greys and browns are best at disguising mud, while black cladding does a great job of hiding grease marks and general weathering.
All you need is a bucket of warm, soapy water and a good sponge to keep your composite cladding looking its best. Always work from top to bottom to avoid streaks, and you’ll have your cladding looking good as new in no time.
