Frequently Asked Questions

Composite Cladding Basics

4 questions
View answers
What is WPC cladding?

WPC cladding is an exterior wall-covering material made from a blend of wood fibres, polymer and performance additives. It provides a wood-inspired appearance while reducing the painting, staining and routine maintenance associated with natural timber.

Can Sungem WPC cladding be installed horizontally or vertically?

Yes. Depending on the profile and project design, Sungem cladding can be installed horizontally or vertically. The subframe direction, fixing method, ventilation gap and board spacing should follow the relevant installation guide.

Does composite cladding provide thermal insulation?

Sungem cladding is primarily designed as an exterior finish and protective façade system. Dedicated insulation should be specified separately when thermal performance is required.

Will there be colour variation between cladding boards?

Slight tonal variation can occur between production batches and may be more visible on wood-inspired surfaces. Order the full project quantity together and mix boards from different packs during installation for a balanced appearance.

What is the difference between Natural Series and Shield Series?

Natural Series is a traditional WPC cladding direction with realistic woodgrain character. Shield Series adds a protective co-extruded cap for enhanced finish protection and additional architectural profile options.

Which cladding series is right for my project?

Natural Series suits residential renovation, value-led projects and accessible woodgrain ranges. Shield Series suits premium homes, commercial façades and projects that prioritise a capped surface and refined profile options.

Can different colours or profiles be combined on one façade?

Yes. Combining woodgrain, fluted or slatted directions can create contrast and depth. Confirm colour availability, trim compatibility and installation details before ordering.

What colours and finishes are available?

Available colours, textures and profiles vary by collection and model. Review the current colour card and request physical samples before final selection.

Performance & Maintenance

5 questions
View answers
Does composite cladding fade over time?

Outdoor materials may show colour adjustment during initial exposure. Shield Series uses a capped surface to provide enhanced UV resistance and improved colour stability; final performance depends on the selected model and conditions.

Does Sungem WPC cladding need painting or staining?

No. Sungem cladding is supplied with a finished surface and does not require routine painting, staining or sealing. Follow the care guidance for the selected model.

Is Sungem WPC cladding waterproof?

Sungem cladding is designed to resist moisture and outdoor weathering, but it is not the waterproofing layer for the building. Use a suitable substrate, membrane, ventilated cavity and flashing details where required.

Are screws visible after installation?

Many profiles position fixings in concealed grooves or beneath the next board. Exposed edges, corners and finishing points may use coordinated screws or trims, depending on the selected system.

What warranty does Sungem WPC offer?

Coverage depends on the selected series, installation conditions and project location. Sungem will provide the applicable warranty terms and care guidance before order confirmation.

Installation

3 questions
View answers
Do I need a subframe behind the cladding?

Yes. Cladding boards should be installed on a suitable subframe. It provides a stable fixing base and helps maintain the ventilation space required behind the boards.

Why is ventilation behind the cladding important?

A ventilated cavity allows air to circulate behind the cladding and helps manage moisture. It also supports the wall system and allows normal movement of the boards and subframe.

Can I use cladding around windows, doors and corners?

Yes. Plan suitable subframe support and compatible trims around openings, external corners and exposed board ends to create a complete, well-finished façade.

View answers
What fixing accessories are available?

Available components can include profile-compatible screws or clips, subframe elements, starter trims, corner trims and edge trims. The exact schedule is confirmed against the selected board model.

What board lengths are available?

Board length depends on the selected profile, project quantity and production requirements. Confirm standard and custom length options with the Sungem team before quotation.

Are samples available?

Yes. Samples are available for distributors, contractors and project partners to compare colours, textures and profile directions before ordering.

What is the typical lead time for an order?

Lead time depends on the selected profile, colour, quantity, accessories and production schedule. Share the product list and destination for a confirmed production lead time.
