Tarimatec · Cladding & façade

Composite cladding & ventilated façade — in the same material as your deck.

Montblanc, Annapurna, Aris and Malibú — European WPC cladding systems for façades, fences, ceilings and feature walls, colour-matched to Tarimatec decking.

What is composite cladding?

Carry the deck up the wall.

Tarimatec cladding takes the same Ecofiber-Stone composite that makes the deck — rice-husk fibre, crushed limestone and PVC — and turns it vertical: ventilated façade systems, slatted screens, fences, soffits and feature walls, in the same 31 colours and four finishes as the decking range.

It is the coordinated outdoor envelope Trex, TimberTech and Fiberon don't offer — floor, wall and screen from one manufacturer, one palette, one warranty.

The systems

Four cladding lines.

Montblanc

Clean, contemporary façade boards for ventilated rainscreen systems.

Annapurna

Sanded-360° slat profiles (40 / 80 / 160) for façades and feature walls.

Aris

Square, Cadence, Horizon and Onna profiles — rhythm and shadow for screens and ceilings.

Malibú

Fencing and privacy systems in six coordinated tones.

Applications

Where it goes.

Ventilated façades and rainscreens · garden and pool fencing · privacy screens · ceilings and soffits · feature and accent walls · balcony and terrace surrounds. The same verified performance as the deck — low water absorption, fungus-proof, and a 25-year warranty.

Tarimatec is classified to European standards. For Canadian façade fire/code data (CAN/ULC), contact our specification team.

Why a ventilated façade

The rainscreen principle.

A ventilated façade hangs the cladding on a sub-frame a few centimetres off the wall, leaving a continuous air gap behind the boards. That cavity is what makes a rainscreen work — it drains and dries the wall, breaks the thermal bridge, and lets the building breathe. Tarimatec's mineral-rich composite is engineered to sit in that gap for decades without rot, swell or colour loss.

Drains and dries

The rear air cavity sheds wind-driven rain and lets moisture evaporate, keeping the structural wall dry through freeze-thaw cycles.

Thermal buffer

The gap breaks the thermal bridge and shades the wall in summer, easing heating and cooling loads on the envelope.

Built to last

Low water absorption, fungus-proof and colour-stable — the same verified performance as the deck, carried up the wall with a 25-year warranty.

FAQ

Composite cladding, answered.

What is composite cladding?

Composite cladding is an exterior wall covering made from a wood-alternative composite rather than solid timber or fibre cement. Tarimatec cladding uses a mineral-rich Ecofiber-Stone composite — rice-husk fibre, crushed limestone and PVC — for ventilated façades, screens, fences and feature walls that resist rot, moisture and colour loss.

Is composite cladding available in Canada?

Yes. Zinodeck is the exclusive Canadian distributor of Tarimatec composite cladding and ventilated façade systems, with samples and project quotes shipped across Canada in CAD.

What is a ventilated façade or rainscreen?

A ventilated façade fixes the cladding to a sub-frame set off the wall, leaving a continuous air cavity behind the boards. That gap drains and dries the wall, breaks the thermal bridge and lets the structure breathe — the rainscreen principle that protects the building envelope.

What cladding ranges does Tarimatec offer?

Four lines: Montblanc façade boards, Annapurna sanded-360° slats (40 / 80 / 160), Aris profiles (Square, Cadence, Horizon, Onna) for screens and ceilings, and Malibú fencing in six coordinated tones — all in the same colours and finishes as Tarimatec decking.

Is Tarimatec cladding fire-rated?

It carries a Euroclass Bfl-s1 reaction-to-fire classification to EN 13501-1 and Class 3 / R11 slip resistance. These are European classifications; for Canadian façade fire and code data (CAN/ULC), contact our specification team.

Can the cladding match my deck?

Yes — that is the point of the system. Cladding, fencing and screens share Tarimatec's 31 colours and four finishes with the decking range, so the façade, fence and floor read as one coordinated material from a single manufacturer.
