Merbau Woodgrain Aluminium Cladding

The Merbau woodgrain finish on woodgrain aluminium cladding: warm reddish-brown with darker flecks - the warmth of timber, none of the upkeep.

Merbau is a familiar decking and screening timber - warm reddish-brown with darker flecks. On woodgrain aluminium cladding, that grain is sublimated into a baked architectural powder coat over marine-grade aluminium, so you get the look of Merbau timber with none of the oiling, warping, splitting or rot.

Run across a whole wall or facade, this finish carries its grain over the full elevation - the character you would chase with solid hardwood boards, without the rot, the repainting or the combustibility worry on the external skin.

The look homeowners already know from decking and screens, with none of the bleeding tannins or annual oiling. As woodgrain aluminium cladding, it carries that character while staying non-combustible, UV-stable and dimensionally stable - the practical way to keep a Merbau look on a project that has to last.

Where Merbau works best as cladding

The Merbau finish suits screens, fences and outdoor living areas. As cladding specifically, it is well placed on:

External wall cladding and feature facades
Entry statements, soffits and eaves linings
Fences, gates and privacy walls
Carports, garages and outdoor rooms
Commercial shopfronts and fitouts
Balcony and balustrade infill
