Ultimate ‘Fit and Forget’ product
Fortex® exterior wall cladding boards are designed to make storing, handling and fitting quick and easy. With the weatherboard cladding weighing just 3.15kg per 5-metre board, it is 4 times lighter than a fibre cement cladding board making transporting and installing simple for every tradesman. And Fortex is a finished product, from pack to project, no spraying, painting or additional finishing required.
Superior Durability and Colour
The Fortex® cladding range is manufactured as a long-term decorative cladding solution, incorporating an acrylic top layer to reduce colour fading. Designed to withstand all UK weather conditions, the white and colour products are eligible for an impressive 10-year guarantee* backed by Freefoam’s environmentally friendly lead-free formulation.
*5 year colour guarantee on dark colours (Cappuccino, Argyl Brown, Storm Grey, Slate Grey, Colonial Blue & Sage Green)
Ultra low maintenance
Fortex cladding gives your clients the benefits of a low maintenance home improvement product. When compared to the more traditional timber cladding panels, PVC cladding is an extremely low maintenance product and just needs an occasional wipe over with soap and water. No ongoing painting, oiling or waxing to maintain its appearance.
Reduce heating costs with A+ rated Fortex Cladding
PVC cladding offers a sustainable solution for building and construction projects, with significant environmental credentials. The Building Research Establishment’s (BRE) ‘Green Guide to Specification’ has given PVC cladding an A+ rating when installed with standard insulation components. This means that Fortex PVC Cladding can be fitted as an exterior insulation product, reducing clients energy bills.
