When you invest in a bespoke garden room, the cladding is key. It’s the first thing you see and needs to protect your space for decades.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce modern garden room cladding – Hardie® VL Plank, a sophisticated, new smooth finish.

Unlike the classic Hardie Plank that uses an overlapping system, the VL Plank features a clever interlocking process. This creates a cleaner, more modern finish.

The Design Choice is Yours:

• Orientation: Install it vertically for a sharp, contemporary statement, or horizontally for a classic look.

• Finish: Choose from 8 colours in two styles: the familiar classic wood textured or a sleek, modern smooth finish.

The benefits of Hardie Plank and Hardie VL Plank are the same, both are made from engineered fibre cement, designed to withstand the elements for decades with minimal maintenance.

• Fire Safety: Rated A2-s1,d0 (non-combustible under EN 13501-1), providing peace of mind.

• Durability: Highly resistant to rot, insects, and weathering.

• Longevity & Warranty: Backed by a 15-year manufacturer warranty and an expected service life of over 50 years.

• ColourPlus™ Technology: UV-resistant coating ensures long-lasting colour vibrancy without the need for frequent repainting.

While this cladding option is slightly more expensive than the classic Hardie Plank, it does give a contemporary look that adds to the overall design of the garden room.
