    Cladding

    Engineered from the same robust resin-mineral core as Millboard Decking, Envello cladding delivers long-term performance in New Zealand’s demanding environments. Designed to resist warping, rotting and algae growth, this low-maintenance exterior cladding will not degrade over time.

    Extensively tested for UV exposure and weathering, Envello composite cladding offers confidence across New Zealand’s diverse climates. Unlike cedar cladding, its durable surface requires no staining or sealing, providing enduring performance with minimal ongoing maintenance.

    Hand-moulded from carefully selected natural timber, our timber-look cladding authentically captures the texture and character of real wood — without the risks associated with traditional timber. With built-in UV resistance and exceptional stability, our composite cladding eliminates twisting, fading and decay while delivering a refined, architectural finish.

    The result is a premium exterior cladding solution that combines the warmth of timber aesthetics with the strength, reliability and ease of advanced composite technology — designed for lasting beauty and performance.

    Cladding FAQs
    About Envello Cladding
    What is Envello Cladding?

    The Envello cladding range is handmoulded from selected natural oak timber to achieve a distinctly organic appearance. Beneath the surface, the core is composed of natural minerals combined with a polymer resin and reinforced with long fibres, while the exterior is finished with a Lastane elastomer coating and a durable 2K UV-stable finish.

    Where can Envello cladding be used?

    The Forté Envello Vertical Cladding system is designed for use in low-rise residential and some commercial projects.

    Cladding pricing
    How does the cost of Envello compare to other types of cladding?

    The installation labour costs of Envello cladding are comparable to traditional timber cladding. Upon purchasing, Envello may appear more expensive upfront, however, if you take into account its greater durability, increased lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements, the life cycle cost of Envello is considerably less than that of cedar cladding. For more information refer to our pricing article.
