Composite cladding
Composite Clad Shipping Containers
Composite cladding offers a modern, sleek alternative to timber, delivering a premium finish with minimal maintenance. Designed for high-traffic, customer-facing environments, composite-clad containers combine clean architectural lines with long-lasting performance. Available in a range of contemporary grey and brown tones, composite cladding is ideal for kiosks, retail units, cafés and commercial spaces where a sharp, professional appearance is essential.
Unlike natural timber, composite materials are engineered to resist weathering, fading and warping, ensuring your container looks smart and uniform year after year while maintaining the strength and security of the steel container beneath.
Composite Cladding - Pricing & Specification
Like timber, composite cladding is not a fixed, off-the-shelf product. Every composite-clad container is built to order, with pricing based on your chosen specification and layout.
The final cost will vary depending on:
-
Container size (10ft, 20ft, 40ft or bespoke layouts)
-
Full or partial composite cladding
-
Colour choice (modern greys and natural brown tones)
-
Overhangs, fascia's and trims
-
Openings such as windows, roller shutters and personnel doors
-
Whether the unit is cosmetic only or fully kiosk-ready
Because each composite-clad build is tailored to the end use, we price every project individually to ensure a clean, durable and premium finish that lasts.
