How MEDITE TRIMAX is revolutionising cladding: enhancing durability and sustainability.

The UK Government has identified timber as a key component in achieving its net zero emissions target by 2050. As part of its broader Net Zero 2050 strategy, the Government has published a dedicated Timber in Construction roadmap, outlining a clear path towards increased timber utilisation in the construction sector. While the roadmap outlines several key priority areas, the main objective is clear: UK construction should use more timber in various applications.

As the construction industry continues to prioritise sustainability, MEDITE SMARTPLY and SAM Mouldings have introduced a game-changing product: MEDITE TRIMAX. This highly durable, low-maintenance and sustainable external cladding solution is made from MEDITE TRICOYA EXTREME timber panels, fully finished with SAM profiles.

MEDITE TRIMAX not only supports the aesthetic and structural needs of modern buildings but also addresses environmental concerns by using fast-growing, carbon-sequestering trees.

Unmatched durability
MEDITE TRIMAX is engineered with acetylated wood fibre, providing it with Class 1 durability—the highest classification for timber. This makes it resistant to rot and fungal decay, allowing it to outperform traditional materials like hardwood and softwood. It can withstand various environmental challenges, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including garden sheds, summer houses and other outdoor structures.

Sustainable
Buildings account for nearly 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions. These emissions stem from two sources: “operational” carbon from everyday energy use, which makes up 27% of global annual carbon emissions and “embodied” carbon from the construction, maintenance and demolition processes, responsible for around 10% of annual emissions. MEDITE TRIMAX uses fast-growing trees to lock up carbon during the cladding’s long lifespan. Additionally, the wood is sourced from FSC-certified forests, ensuring sustainable management practices.

High performance
The base panel, made of acetylated wood fibre using MEDITE SMARTPLY’s advanced manufacturing technology, delivers exceptional durability – ideal for cladding applications traditionally limited to materials like fibre cement, wood or Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). It is available either primed or fully finished, offering versatility to suit a range of project needs. A 50-year warranty on the base panel ensures performance and integrity throughout the building’s lifespan. Even if the coating sustains damage, the core remains unaffected. Enhanced stability further extends the service life of the coating, reducing maintenance requirements over time. MEDITE TRIMAX sets a new standard for reliability, versatility and resilience in cladding applications.

Aesthetic appeal and ease of installation
In addition to its practical benefits, MEDITE TRIMAX offers a crisp, uniform appearance that enhances the aesthetic appeal of any building. Its lightweight nature makes it easy to install, and it is available in several colours, providing flexibility in design choices. This makes MEDITE TRIMAX an ideal choice for those looking to transform the look of their buildings while ensuring long-term durability and sustainability.

Innovative cladding for a better future
MEDITE TRIMAX represents a significant advancement in cladding solutions. It is designed to meet the demands of modern construction while supporting the industry’s shift towards more sustainable materials. With its market-leading warranty and low environmental impact, MEDITE TRIMAX sets a new benchmark for timber cladding, offering peace of mind.
