Material difference
Get the look without the maintenance with Millboard Envello Cladding by Forté.
Your home is your castle, and the exterior is your opportunity to make a statement and express your own aesthetic. The cladding is about more than just looking good, however. It’s also about maintenance, durability and protection from the elements.
Transforming your exterior spaces is easy with Millboard Envello Cladding by Forté. If you’re looking to revamp your home’s facade, this option delivers high-end contemporary aesthetics and performance.
Millboard’s innovative composite cladding is 100 per cent wood-free, eliminating the need for regular sealing to guard against moisture ingress. This cutting- edge material ensures a superior finish and balances high usability with exceptional durability, outperforming natural timber and all other cladding options.
The Envello Cladding range has been hand-moulded from selected natural timbers and hand-coloured by skilled craftspeople, providing an authentic, wood-like appearance. The collection includes various profiles, such as the sleek Shadow Line+ and the textured Board & Batten+ – ideal for diverse property styles and design preferences.
The team at Forté says there are a few reasons homeowners choose Envello Cladding.
Cost-effective maintenance: Envello Cladding arrives prefinished in a choice of five colours and requires no ongoing staining. This saves maintenance costs over time.
Timber aesthetic without the hassle: For those who appreciate the look of timber but want to avoid the complexities of traditional wood maintenance, this offers the perfect solution.
Proven durability: Millboard’s decking boards have successfully endured New Zealand’s harshest weather conditions for over nine years. Envello Cladding shares the same composition, ensuring it will withstand the test of time.
Envello Cladding’s boards are designed for efficiency and durability. They feature a unique tongue-and-groove system that not only enhances rigidity but also speeds up installation. The innovative profile includes a relief angle that allows boards to curve when installed vertically, and minimises the passage of air and water, enhancing the system’s resilience.
The cladding boards come equipped with a notch for fixings, which is neatly concealed by the subsequent board for a clean finish. The distinctive chamfered cut also facilitates natural rain cleaning, reducing the need for manual cleaning or additional treatments.
Forté has integrated Envello Cladding into its new Pairings Guide, a downloadable resource designed to harmonise interior timber finishes with matching exterior Millboard decking and now cladding, too. This guide helps ensure a cohesive and stylish specification across your project, inspiring creative and unified design solutions.
As a family-owned business, Forté has an experienced team that can advise on its unique timber products. As a result, you can enjoy the ultimate blend of form and function for your home.
