Millboard can be sawn and screwed like timber so is&nbsp;relatively cost-effective&nbsp;to install. The&nbsp;size of the area and different trade rates with have a much larger impact on the cost of labour.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While simple to install,&nbsp;trained professionals may have more experience in achieving a better overall finish. If you choose an independent company or install your own cladding, you may save on&nbsp;labour costs but risk compromising the performance of the&nbsp;premium cladding panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-the-long-term-value-of-quality-composite-cladding-nbsp\">The Long-Term Value of Quality Composite Cladding\u202f&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By choosing high quality composite materials to clad your property, you&nbsp;invest in&nbsp;long-term aesthetic appeal and performance. Millboard&nbsp;cladding boards&nbsp;are highly resistant to damage from moisture,&nbsp;insects,&nbsp;mould&nbsp;and impact. This means your building\u2019s exterior requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking elegant for decades. \u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you might invest more into quality materials, the benefits of composite cladding pay off&nbsp;in the long run. \u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<section data-allow-multiple=\"false\" class=\"accordion wp-block alignfull has-background has-brand-1-background-color\">\n    <div class=\"accordion__inner\">\n\n        <div class=\"accordion__header\">\n\n            \n                            <h3 class=\"accordion__header__heading\">Frequently Asked Questions\u202f<\/h3>\n            \n            \n            \n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"accordion__items\">\n<div class=\"accordion__item wp-block\">\n    <button aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-4\" type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__item__trigger js-accordion-button\" id=\"what-is-the-average-cost-of-composite-cladding-in-the-uk\"><h3 class=\"accordion__item__heading\">What is the Average Cost of Composite Cladding in the UK?<\/h3><\/button>\n\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-4\" class=\"accordion__item__panel js-expandable-element\" aria-labelledby=\"what-is-the-average-cost-of-composite-cladding-in-the-uk\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__item__panel__inner\">\n            <p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun CommentStart SCXW89599408 BCX0\">Composite cladding\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">boards\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">from\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">Millboard costs between \u00a3<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">135\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">and \u00a3<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">170<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">\u00a0per square metre<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">excluding any<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">\u00a0installation,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">fixings<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">\u00a0or accessories<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">.<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW89599408 BCX0\">\u00a0However, there will be some variation depending on your unique needs.
