Why choose Fortex Cladding?
Thermal properties:
Fortex cladding, due to its cellular foam composition has a general thermal conductivity rate of 0.06 and 0.1 W/mK – this is depending on the configuration and profile thickness – representing a superior thermal performance to that of timber cladding or other natural materials.
Fortex remains a popular choice due it being light and easy to install, and the comprehensive range of cladding trims available, will ensure a neat and professional finish whatever the application.

Benefits of Fortex Cladding
- Durable – Fortex Cladding is made from a high-quality formulation

It’s designed so that it can be installed on all types of exteriors, including brick, masonry, and concrete. When fitted with just standard insulation materials – the Building Research Establishment’s (BRE) Green Guide to Specification has given this cladding system an A+ rating.
- No painting required – the boards are pre-coated, simple!
- Many colour options are available – a wide selection of contemporary, on-trend colours.
- Realistic wood effect – giving your property a natural look, without having to bother with the upkeep of natural materials!
One of our customers who installed some Fortex cladding remarked that “The system is so easy to use and install. It is easy to cut, and handles much better than fibre cement products, which have a similar appearance.”
Fortex Cladding Pricing
In comparison with the other cladding systems we supply at Edge, the Fortex cladding range falls into the middle price bracket, at approximately £35 per 5 metres (for weatherboard cladding.) But the Fortex range can easily be viewed as an investment – it saves you time, by not needing maintenance and provides the walls of your property with a new character – which can increase the value of your property.
