Slatted

Give your garden room a slatted exterior

A slatted finish adds a repeated vertical line to the outside of your garden room. Our slatted cladding is composite, so it brings the same benefits as our standard composite boards: it holds its colour and never needs painting, staining or oiling.

Discuss the available profile and material with us, then consider how much of the building you want to finish in that style.

Specification & options

Vertical detail, without timber upkeep

The repeated vertical profile adds depth and texture to the exterior. It works as a feature beside the entrance or across a larger elevation for a more consistent contemporary finish.

Noah’s slatted cladding is composite, not timber, so it does not need painting, staining or oiling.

Features and benefits

The benefits of composite, in a slatted profile

Maintenance free

No painting, staining or oiling. An occasional wash helps keep the cladding looking its best.

Holds its colour

A consistent coloured finish without the repainting or oiling routine of natural timber.

A sharper elevation

The vertical slats give the building a crisp, contemporary line, on a feature wall or all round.

Choosing your range

Which ranges offer slatted cladding?

Slatted cladding is listed as an optional choice on Garden Rooms, Signature and Granny Annexes.

It is not listed as an option for Garden Buildings or Garden Pods. If one of those ranges is your starting point, compare the other exterior choices or discuss whether a different range would suit your plans.

Care follows our guidance for each cladding. See Maintenance and Aftercare for more.

Whichever you choose, we fit a breathable waterproof membrane and an air gap behind every board.

Starting: included in that range’s starting price. Signature starts with cedar on the front and the Grey SIP finish elsewhere.

Bars compare the price per square metre of wall in our configurator. Try every cladding on your own design there and see the price change as you choose.

Specification & options

A feature finish where it matters most

Choose the elevations you want to emphasise, such as the front seen from the house or the side facing a patio. The slatted profile gives those areas a different texture from plain boards.

We agree the coverage and adjoining finishes with the design, including how the cladding meets doors, windows and corners.

Common questions

Slatted cladding questions

Is slatted cladding made from wood?

No. Our slatted cladding is composite, with the same low-maintenance benefits as our standard composite cladding.

Is this the same as acoustic wall panelling?

No. This page concerns exterior cladding. Do not assume an acoustic benefit from a slatted appearance.

Can I have slatted cladding on a Pod?

No. Slatted cladding is offered on Garden Rooms, Signature and Granny Annexes. A Pod can have timber, Thermowood, composite or cedar.

How much does the option cost?

The price depends on the building, product and coverage. Ask us to quote the agreed design.

How do I clean slatted cladding?

Wash it with warm, soapy water once or twice a year, using a soft brush along the grooves between the slats, then rinse from the top down. Avoid wire brushes and harsh solvents, and in autumn clear away any leaves that gather along the bottom.
