Designed for Every Direction
Horizontal, vertical and mixed layouts create clean lines, balanced proportions and controlled shadow effects across the façade.
Architectural profile directions, outdoor-ready construction and coordinated finishing details in one cladding range.

Horizontal, vertical and mixed layouts create clean lines, balanced proportions and controlled shadow effects across the façade.

Composite construction is selected for outdoor exposure, while Shield adds a capped surface for enhanced finish protection.

Woodgrain, fluted and slatted profile directions can be coordinated with colours, trims and installation accessories.
Choose a natural woodgrain direction or a capped collection with additional architectural profile options.

Practical answers for product selection, performance, installation and partnership.
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.
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.
Sungem cladding is primarily designed as an exterior finish and protective façade system. Dedicated insulation should be specified separately when thermal performance is required.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Combining woodgrain, fluted or slatted directions can create contrast and depth. Confirm colour availability, trim compatibility and installation details before ordering.
Available colours, textures and profiles vary by collection and model. Review the current colour card and request physical samples before final selection.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Coverage depends on the selected series, installation conditions and project location. Sungem will provide the applicable warranty terms and care guidance before order confirmation.
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.
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.
Yes. Plan suitable subframe support and compatible trims around openings, external corners and exposed board ends to create a complete, well-finished façade.
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.
Board length depends on the selected profile, project quantity and production requirements. Confirm standard and custom length options with the Sungem team before quotation.
Yes. Samples are available for distributors, contractors and project partners to compare colours, textures and profile directions before ordering.
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.
