Oakio next generation external cladding is now available in the UK. This product ticks boxes for looks, durability and sustainability with 95% of the boards made from reclaimed oak and other recycled products.
Oakio cladding offers a low-or-no maintenance upgrade to timber and PVC cladding, plus a great alternative to hanging tiles.
The 3.6 metre length boards come in nine natural wood finishes including grey, in both dark and light shades. There’s no need to paint, stain or seal the new feature and there’s no risk of warping, splintering or fading. The cladding is really easy to install and can be fixed both horizontally and vertically.
Designed in the UK and manufactured in China, Oakio is a successful global brand available in over 40 countries, and since September 2020 Oakio products have already taken the UK by storm.
Katie Morley, Managing Director at Ronjack, the UK’s sole supplier for Oakio, comments: “Sales of Oakio decking have broken even our top predictions.
“Oakio is different from other products. The name comes from the primary component being reclaimed oak, in fact 55 percent of Oakio cladding is oak. It gives a more natural finish that homeowners want, and it’s super hardwearing as well.
“To ensure nationwide delivery we have created a network of merchant partners to cover the whole of the UK.”
The latest Builders Merchant Building Index (BMBI) report shows builders’ merchants’ value sales in October were up +1.2% compared to the same month last year.
