Where Anthracite works
- Pairs with anthracite window frames and bi-fold doors, and with zinc and grey render.
- A natural partner for a modern extension or garden room with grey aluminium glazing.
- A dark colour gets warmer in full sun, so on a south- or west-facing wall check a sample in the afternoon light.
Design idea: clad the wall either side of grey bi-fold doors in Anthracite slats laid vertically, so the glazing and the cladding read as one surface. Horizontal Anthracite slats make a low boundary screen look longer.
Clad a whole building in Oxford Heritage 3D™ Wall Cladding in Anthracite and pick out an entrance, a feature wall or a planter in Anthracite slats. The finishes differ — embossed boards, brushed slats — so hold samples side by side before you mix them on one wall.
How many panels do I need?
Take the wall area in m², minus doors and windows, and allow 2.0 panels per m² (each panel covers 0.50 m², because part of it sits under its neighbour — plan with the 200 mm covering width, never the nominal 219 mm), adding 10% for windows, doors and angled tops.
| Wall area | Panels (2.5 m) | Panels cost |
|---|---|---|
| 5 m² | 10 | £250.00 |
| 10 m² | 20 | £500.00 |
| 15 m² | 30 | £750.00 |
| 20 m² | 40 | £1,000.00 |
| 30 m² | 60 | £1,500.00 |

Fixing and trims
Panels fix with cladding clips and M4.2 × 32 mm black Torx self-drilling screws to a ventilated batten frame at 400 mm centres, vertically or horizontally, with starter clips on the first panel. Finish the wall with corner trims (L-angle), corner profiles and end boards, made in all seven slatted colours. Full installation overview: Catalogue 02 (PDF).
Where you can use it
Garden rooms and offices, summerhouses, sheds, bin and bike stores, planters, screens and existing garden walls on battens. Composite cladding is combustible, we do not currently publish a reaction-to-fire class for it, and it cannot be used on the external walls of residential buildings with a storey 11 m or more above ground, or on relevant buildings 18 m or taller (Regulation 7(2) and Approved Document B, England), and rules are stricter within 1 m of a boundary. Check with your building control body before you clad any part of a house.

Questions
What goes with anthracite slatted cladding?
Anthracite window frames and bi-fold doors, zinc details and grey or white render. With porcelain paving and planted borders it gives a clean, modern look.
Is Anthracite the same as Black?
No. Anthracite is a dark grey; Black is a deep, solid black with a satin finish. Both come in Slatted Cladding and Wall Cladding.
Do slatted cladding panels need painting or staining?
No. The cap means no painting, staining, oiling or sealing. Wash with warm soapy water and a soft brush; if you use a pressure washer, keep a wide fan nozzle at least 300 mm from the surface. A little colour settling in the first months is normal.
