Is Weathertex any good?

What timber is best for external cladding?
Western red cedar, European larch, European oak and Douglas fir are among the most popular species to use in cladding as they don’t require any preservative treatment, because they’re naturally resistant to insects, moisture and rot. On the other hand, species such as spruce, fir and pine have to be treated.
Is PVC cladding any good?
While being a durable material, PVC is softer than many other materials used for wall cladding.

To overcome this disadvantage, UPVC is the preferred option for high-quality PVC wall panels.
