Composite Garden Rooms

Concerned about finding a durable, stylish, and low-maintenance cladding for your garden room? At Bakers, we’re committed to providing high-quality, long-lasting solutions which is why we carefully select cladding materials that offer superior stability, durability, and aesthetics.

What Is Composite Cladding?

In simple terms, composite cladding is made from a blend of timber fibres and UPVC plastic. It’s often seen as a cheaper alternative to natural wood, but it comes with significant downsides, including:

Movement & Warping: The timber fibres expand and contract with moisture, while the UPVC shifts with temperature changes, making the material unstable over time.
Fading & Discolouration: Composite cladding is prone to UV fading, meaning it can lose its appearance far quicker than other materials.
Artificial Look: If you’re looking for an authentic timber effect or a sleek modern finish, composite cladding can often appear cheap or plastic-like.

While composite cladding is widely available, it’s far from the best option if you want a high-end, long-lasting garden room.

What Are the Best Alternatives to Composite Cladding Garden Rooms?

Rather than settling for composite garden rooms, we recommend exploring more stable and durable materials, such as:

Cedral (Cement-Based Cladding): A high-quality, cement-based product that offers exceptional durability and a beautiful modern finish.
Trespa Pura (High-Pressure Laminate): A premium, low-maintenance material that resists movement and fading while providing a stunning aesthetic.
Millboard Envelo (Extruded Cladding): Designed for maximum longevity, Millboard’s Envelo range is one of the most durable and realistic wood-effect claddings on the market.

These materials are far superior to standard composite cladding, ensuring that your garden building remains beautiful and maintenance-free for years to come.

MTX Cladding

Over our 40 years of experience, we’ve moved away from traditional timber and composite cladding in favour of a more advanced solution called Medite Tricoya Extreme (MTX).

This product is a mix of Acoya dust and specially designed external adhesives. While not typically classified as a composite, MTX is often considered an advanced version of MDF. It’s an excellent option with a 50-year guarantee, even when left unpainted outdoors.

Other benefits include:

Fully Customisable: Unlike composite garden rooms, MTX can be painted in any colour to match your garden.
Fire-Rated Options: Ensuring your building meets all safety regulations while maintaining a stylish appearance.
Precision Machining: Can be crafted into any design, offering the ultimate in bespoke customisation.

If you’re looking for a long-lasting, low-maintenance cladding solution, MTX is the gold standard.

Other Options

Here at Bakers, we encourage clients to consider alternatives to timber cladding that offer zero maintenance and a long-lasting, beautiful finish. These options will keep your garden building looking stunning for years to come, without the need for repainting or treating! Of course, if you prefer the natural beauty of timber, we also offer a wide range of timber options, including Cedar, Iroko, and Oak.
