Forma Slatted Cladding Specification Guide

Ecoscape UK Forma composite products have all the benefits of Clarity, with the addi-
Forma Decking Benefits tional benefits afforded by the HDPE capping. This results in a composite product that
is more hardwearing, stain-resistant, and resistant to colour fading. We are so confi-
dent in the quality of our board that we offer an industry-leading 25 year warranty.

25 Colour Fade Due to artifical weathering test: ΔE<5

Sustainable Choice Great Composite Benefits UV Stable with Colour Fade Warranty

Ecoscape UK Wood Plastic Composite products are made
from recycled plastic and wood fibre. Choosing Ecoscape
UK ensures this waste material is diverted from landfill, and
given a second life.
Not only easy to install, with our hidden clip
system, Ecoscape UK composite cladding
is practical, low maintenance, and with our
25 year warrany,, will be sure to look good
for years to come.
All our Forma products (including Panel Cladding) are fade
resistant. Although not entirely fade proof, our cladding has
been extensively tested - including artificial weathering test
- and we offer a warranty against fading due to weathering
weathering due to light exposure and weathering in excess
of 'ΔE=5' on the Hunter scale.
