WoodEvo CLADDING in Silver Grey: a castellated wood-plastic composite board for modern facades, carports and screens. Screws to a rail frame, never needs sealing, and comes in 2.9m, 3.6m or 4.2m lengths.
Price range: $58.00 through $84.00
Silver Grey is one of two greys in WoodEvo’s seven-colour cladding range, and it’s the one we’d shortlist first for a modern facade that mixes concrete, render and steel. The board is a castellated wood-plastic composite, 216mm wide and 33mm thick with a 186mm cover, sold in 2.9m, 3.6m and 4.2m lengths; pick yours at Add to Cart. It goes up with screws on a rail frame and never needs sealing.
Our view: Silver Grey sits comfortably beside off-form concrete, rendered walls and powder-coated steel, so it suits carports, side walls, pool areas and garden screens. For a two-tone facade, run WoodEvo cladding in Dark Grey on one section and Silver Grey on the next, or warm the palette up with WoodEvo cladding in Spotted Gum around the entry.
We’d argue grey is overdone on new estates, and one Silver Grey feature wall usually looks sharper than a whole house in it. WoodEvo notes batch variation is more noticeable in solid colours, so buy the full quantity in one order.

For vertical boards, divide the wall width in millimetres by 186 and round up. Coverage per board:
| Length | Area per board | Boards per m² |
|---|---|---|
| 2.9m | 0.186 x 2.9 = 0.54 m² | 1.85 |
| 3.6m | 0.186 x 3.6 = 0.67 m² | 1.49 |
| 4.2m | 0.186 x 4.2 = 0.78 m² | 1.28 |
Worked example: a carport side wall 3,600mm long and 3.2m high. 3,600 ÷ 186 = 19.4, so 20 boards in the 3.6m length, weighing about 212kg (20 x 10.62kg). A 3.2m wall needs 8 rails at 500mm centres (3,200 ÷ 500 = 6.4, rounded up to 7 spaces), so the boards take 160 screws: two packs of 100 with the trims included.
Keep the horizontal rails at or under 500mm centres, with at least three behind every board; WoodEvo’s example is a 450mm piece, which still needs a rail at each end and one in the middle. On an outside corner, start there: fix the corner trim first, one screw per rail through both grooved channels, and work away from it. At an inside corner, work in from the outer end of the wall, rip the last board to fit and leave a 3mm gap at the corner. Pre-drill 5mm into the grooved channel for every screw and never use nails. WoodEvo’s cladding installation guide has the diagrams.
