What are composite cladding and screening?

Composite cladding and screening are high-performance, low-maintenance building materials made from a combination of recycled wood fibres and polymers. They are used for exterior wall cladding, privacy screens, and decorative façades. Composite products offer the look of timber with enhanced durability and minimal upkeep.

What types of composite cladding are available?

Westgyp offers several NewTechWood cladding profiles to suit different aesthetics:

  • Shadowline Wall Cladding – Sleek, modern linear profiles ideal for contemporary façades.
  • Castellation Cladding – Unique sculpted profile that creates depth and visual interest, perfect for feature walls or high-impact design.

What composite screening options are available?

For privacy or decorative purposes, NewTechWood offers high-quality composite screening:

  • Composite Screening – Ideal for fencing, pergolas, and garden screens. Available in a range of colours and textures, providing both function and style.

Are composite cladding and screening durable?

Yes. NewTechWood composite products are resistant to:

  • Rot, warping, and splitting

  • Termites and other pests

  • Moisture and harsh weather conditions

  • Fading or discolouration over time (with UV-stabilised finishes)

This makes them far more durable than traditional timber, especially in the harsh Australian climate.

How do composite products perform in the sun?

Composite cladding and screening are manufactured with UV stabilisers, which minimise fading and heat absorption. Darker colours may feel slightly warmer to touch, but overall the products remain comfortable and retain their aesthetic appeal for many years.

Are composite products low maintenance?

Yes. Composite cladding and screening only require occasional cleaning with water and mild detergent. Unlike timber, there’s no need for sanding, staining, sealing, or painting, saving time and cost over the long term.

Can composite cladding and screening be customised?

Yes. NewTechWood products come in a variety of profiles, colours, and textures to suit your design vision. Shadowline and Castellation cladding can create modern, contemporary, or feature façades, while composite screening allows flexibility in spacing, height, and design patterns.

Are composite products environmentally friendly?

NewTechWood products are made from a high proportion of recycled materials, including wood fibres and polymers. This reduces environmental impact and supports sustainable building practices, while still delivering the look and feel of timber.

How do composite cladding and screening feel under touch?

Composite boards have a natural timber-like texture that feels smooth yet firm under hand or foot. They avoid splinters, rough edges, or cracking commonly associated with timber. This makes composite screening safe for family and outdoor areas.

Are composite products easy to install?

Yes. NewTechWood cladding and screening are lightweight, consistent in size, and designed for simple installation. Many products feature interlocking profiles or hidden fastening systems, reducing installation time and ensuring a clean, professional finish.
