Why is the anthracite grey one of the most popular cladding colours?

Anthracite grey is one of the most popular colours of cladding at the moment, but any shade of grey is right up there with anthracite. We find that anthracite seems to be a shade of grey immune to trends and is more of a timeless favourite because it drastically improves the appearance of properties, goes well with everything, and hides any muddy little handprints or pawprints brilliantly.

Does anthracite grey cladding fade over time?

A 20% colour fade over time can be expected, but this is not limited to our anthracite grey products. Fading can happen with any colour cladding and is not more or less prominent with our anthracite grey cladding ranges.

Is anthracite grey cladding easy to clean?

Easier to clean than other colours? Nope, however, it is a great shade to hide any dirt or grime, which makes it a perfect choice for families with little ones or pets.

Expert Advice On Our Anthracite Grey Wood Grain Cladding

Want to know more? Our in-house expert, Allan, gives his take on our Anthracite Grey Composite Cladding, and we’ve selected some of our best guides to help you decide if this is the right choice for you.

A Word from Our Expert, Allan:

Our Anthracite Grey is a popular choice for a reason. It’s a versatile dark grey that brings a modern, contemporary style to any home—but it’s the enhanced wood grain finish that makes it truly special.

The secret to this long-lasting appearance is the enhanced surface treatment technique we use. We first perfected this process for our best-selling decking collection in 2021, then engineered it for our cladding. The result is a richer, sharper look with superior colour stability that standard cladding simply can’t match.
