Cladding continues to be one of the UK’s most popular home improvement choices. In 2023, demand for cladding surged by an astonishing 743%, according to Rated People’s Home Improvements Trends. And in 2026, this growth shows no sign of slowing.  


Why Fortex Cladding? 


Freefoam's Fortex Cladding range is the ideal solution for homeowners and installers looking to meet this ongoing demand. Offering a truly transformative effect, Fortex can instantly update a tired façade, delivering impressive kerb appeal and a modern finish. 


Key Features of Fortex Cladding: 


Authentic Wood Effect 

Fortex panels feature a deeply embossed wood effect finish, providing the natural look of timber with none of the maintenance hassles. 

 

Three Distinct Styles 

Fortex Pro Double Shiplap: 333mm wide, 9mm thick, covers large areas quickly, and is available in a wide range of colours. 

Fortex Weatherboard: Attractive featheredge style, 170mm wide and 7mm thick, ideal for any home improvement project. 

Fortex Shadow Gap: Features a subtle ‘pine’ embossed finish with a deep groove, perfect for both horizontal and vertical installation. 

 

Wide Colour Range 

Fortex Cladding is available in a wide range of subtle modern colours, to help blend in with render, brickwork and windows and doors. 

 

Superior Durability 

Manufactured as a long-term solution, Fortex cladding is built to withstand the harshest weather conditions. All white and colour products come with a 10-year guarantee, backed by an environmentally friendly, lead-free formulation. 

 

Light and Easy to Install 

At just 3.15kg per 5-metre board, Fortex is four times lighter than fibre cement boards, making handling and installation straightforward for both professionals and DIYers. 

 

Low Maintenance 

Unlike timber, Fortex requires only an occasional wash to keep it looking its best; no painting, oiling, or waxing needed. 

 

A+ Rated for Sustainability 

When installed with standard insulation components, Fortex cladding achieves an A+ rating in the BRE Green Guide.

The system is complemented by a complete set of aluminium finishing trims available in a range of colours that perfectly complement the six cladding decors.
