Across the UK, more and more commercial and residential buildings are being clad with NewTechWood.

It looks like wood, with an impressively natural-looking grain. But unlike wood, there’s no painting, no oiling and no treating. It resists staining and mould. No insects will make their home by burrowing into it. And because it’s fully capped, water won’t cause it to warp, swell, or split. Nor will the sun.

NewTechWood Ultrashield cladding can enhance the appearance and durability of any building, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Ultrashield cladding is suitable for homes, commercial units, garden offices, apartments and more. Discover the beauty and simplicity of horizontal and vertical composite wood grain wall cladding from Maple Plastics, which stands out in the market for its innovative features.

Why Choose Our Wood Effect Composite Cladding?

What’s the difference between composite wood grain wall cladding and, well, wood?

Long-lasting simplicity: Unlike wood, NewTechWood cladding is waterproof without the need for additional treating. It’s UV-resistant, so colours will stay vibrant for years. It won’t warp. It never needs painting. It incorporates mould inhibitors. And it will last so long that it comes with a limited manufacturer’s warranty for 25 years (in residential settings) and 10 years (in commercial settings).

Easy to work with: It may be composite, but our woodgrain cladding cuts like wood, screws like wood and drills like wood, and the tools you already use to fix or shape timber will be all the tools you need.

Environmentally friendly: NewTechWood cladding is manufactured from 95% recycled materials, including plastic bottles (in the composite exterior) and wood fibre (in the core).

Easy to clean: A quick brush down and wipe clean is all the maintenance your wood grain composite cladding will need.

Ultrashield technology represents a leap forward in the world of capped wood plastic composite cladding, setting a new standard for exterior walls. At its core, Ultrashield composite cladding combines the timeless appeal of natural wood grains with the resilience of a high-performance plastic shell. This unique construction not only delivers the look and feel of real wood, but also provides a robust barrier against the elements—making it the ultimate solution for wall cladding, deck boards, and stylish fencing.

What truly sets Ultrashield apart is its innovative tongue and groove system, designed to allow for air circulation between the cladding and the supporting joists. This clever engineering keeps the inside dry by isolating water from the structure, reducing the risk of moisture buildup, mildew, and mould. The use of cladding clips ensures each board is securely fastened while maintaining essential ventilation, so your exterior walls stay protected and beautiful year after year.

Manufactured using a patented process, NewTechWood Ultrashield blends recycled materials—like plastic bottles and reclaimed wood fibres—into a durable, low-maintenance wood plastic composite. This not only makes Ultrashield an environmentally responsible choice, but also means you’ll never need to worry about painting, staining, or ongoing maintenance. The capped surface resists stains, fading, and splitting, outperforming traditional uncapped composites in both toughness and longevity.

Ultrashield technology is engineered for versatility, making it ideal for both residential homes and commercial buildings. Whether you’re enhancing a modern office façade or creating a welcoming outdoor living experience, Ultrashield composite cladding delivers undeniable good looks and lasting performance. The groove system ensures a seamless connection between boards, while the range of natural colours lets you achieve the perfect finish for any project.

For contractors, architects, and homeowners alike, NewTechWood Ultrashield offers a high-quality, easy-to-install solution that elevates the standard for exterior cladding. With its advanced materials, innovative design, and commitment to sustainability, Ultrashield technology is the smart choice for anyone seeking beauty, durability, and peace of mind in their construction or renovation projects.
