NewTechWood Composite Cladding Perth WA

Timber Composite Cladding Built for Perth’s Climate If you’re looking to turn a plain wall or ceiling into a feature, cladding is a perfect choice, and NewTechWood composite cladding makes the job even easier. Engineered for Australian conditions, NewTechWood combines the warmth and character of natural timber with the durability and low maintenance of advanced composite materials. Perth’s climate is one of the most demanding in Australia, with extreme heat and bushfire risks across rural and metropolitan areas, all of which can influence choice of building materials. NewTechWood composite cladding is purpose-built to perform where natural timber may fade, crack or warp over time. Architects and builders are finding new and creative ways to bring cladding into both residential and commercial projects. Outside, it suits alfresco areas, facades, fences, pergolas, garage doors, outdoor showers and retaining walls. Inside, it’s an excellent choice for feature walls and ceilings. Why Choose NewTechWood Composite Cladding? NewTechWood composite cladding is manufactured from a combination of 60% recycled timber fibre and 40% recycled plastics, fully encased in an engineered polymer shield. This capping system keeps moisture absorption as low as 0.1%, while protecting against UV degradation, termite damage and staining. The result is a product that closely mimics the grains and colours of natural timber, but without the ongoing maintenance demands. NewTechWood is also CodeMark® Certified to NCC 2022.

NewTechWood composite cladding is made from 60% recycled timber fibre and 40% recycled plastics. Every board manufactured keeps plastics out of landfill. An engineered polymer shield fully caps the core of each board, keeping moisture absorption as low as 0.1% and protecting against UV, staining and termite damage. How hard is it to install composite cladding? An experienced tradesperson will find composite cladding straightforward to install. Boards come in uniform lengths, are easy to cut and shape, and can be fixed to a variety of substrates, including brick. All screws can be hidden using concealed fixing systems, creating a clean, professional finish. In general, installation is quicker than natural timber cladding. What is the difference between composite cladding and natural timber cladding? The most significant difference is maintenance. Natural timber cladding requires regular cleaning, resealing and potentially sanding over its lifetime. NewTechWood composite cladding requires only a regular clean – no oiling, sanding or painting needed. Today’s composite cladding closely replicates the grain and colour of natural timber. Made from 95% recycled materials, it’s also a more sustainable choice. While composite cladding may carry a higher upfront cost than standard painted timber, the absence of ongoing maintenance costs means it can offer strong long-term value. How durable is composite cladding compared to natural timber cladding? Natural timber can have a limited lifespan if not maintained regularly. Dry timber is prone to splitting, splintering and fading. NewTechWood composite cladding is engineered to resist UV degradation, thermal expansion, moisture and insect attack. Even after extended exposure to Perth’s sun and rain, boards won’t warp, split or crack, and maintain their colour where some timber species can silver off over time. What is the BAL rating for NewTechWood cladding? NewTechWood cladding has a fire performance rating applicable to Australian Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) zones. For specific BAL rating and applicable zone coverage relevant to your project, please contact Austim. What are the disadvantages of composite cladding? Composite cladding typically carries a higher upfront cost than standard timber. It also requires correct installation, including appropriate fixing systems, expansion gaps and substrate preparation. Errors during installation can lead to panel movement, moisture issues or voided warranties. Sourcing products through Austim means access to specification advice before installation begins, reducing the risk of costly mistakes on site How long does NewTechWood last? NewTechWood composite cladding is engineered for long-term exterior performance and is designed to resist moisture, UV damage and insect attack over an extended service life. NewTechWood backs its products with a 25-year residential limited warranty and a 10-year commercial warranty.
