External Finish Systems Supplied by Forti Nova
Modern exterior finishes designed to reduce maintenance and deliver a durable, contemporary appearance.
Composite Cladding
Composite cladding uses a blend of wood fibre and polymer to create a durable, low-maintenance exterior board. It provides the aesthetic of natural timber without the ongoing maintenance — no painting, no sealing, no rotting.
- No painting or sealing required
- Resistant to rot, moisture and UV fading
- Available in a range of colours and profiles
- Suitable for garden rooms, extensions and new builds
Composite Decking
Composite decking boards offer the look of hardwood with the durability of a polymer-composite blend. Highly resistant to moisture, frost and UV — ideal for outdoor decking in UK climates.
- Low maintenance — no annual treatment
- Slip-resistant surface options available
- Consistent appearance across batches
- Long product warranties available
Composite Fencing
Composite fencing panels provide a contemporary alternative to traditional timber fencing. Weather resistant and colour stable, composite fence panels require no staining or painting throughout their service life.
- No staining or painting required
- Colour stable — no fading
- Modern panel designs available
- Resistant to rot and pests
uPVC Roofline
Fascia, soffit, capping boards and compatible trims complete the roof edge. Product selection must distinguish full replacement from a finish over sound retained material.
- Replacement and capping routes kept distinct
- General-purpose, vented and hollow soffit options
- Compatible corners, joints and finishing trims
- Supply from Blackburn with details confirmed per order
Rainwater Systems
Gutter profiles, outlets, downpipes and fittings form one drainage route. Capacity, falls and compatibility are checked against the actual roof and selected system.
- Half-round, square, ogee and higher-capacity options
- Compatible outlets, angles, unions and brackets
- Downpipes and discharge route considered together
- Complex roofs require responsible drainage design
PriviFilm Smart Glass Film
PriviFilm is a switchable privacy-film route for suitable glazing. Glass, edges, controls, electrical provision and installation responsibility are confirmed for each project.
- Electrically controlled privacy states
- Offices, consultation rooms and residential uses
- Suitability checked for the actual glazing
- Product, controls and responsibilities scoped together
