Argent - Forma® Click

Contemporary grey, with the depth and texture of timber.

EXTERIOR APPLICATION

Forma® Click by Ecoscape in Argent offers a darker, architectural interpretation of timber-effect cladding, combining grey and subtle blue tones to create a sophisticated anthracite appearance.

Its neutral palette works naturally alongside contemporary materials including render, aluminium, concrete, glazing and dark window systems, while the brushed wood-effect surface introduces greater texture and depth than a flat painted finish.

As a wood-plastic composite, it combines the mechanical properties of wood with the durability of plastic, creating a long-lasting, low-maintenance building material that is resistant to rot, cracking, splitting and warping.

Available in three board widths, Argent can be used to create anything from finely detailed linear façades to broad, confident elevations or varied mixed-width compositions.

Contemporary colour that stays true to the design.

Dark grey is a familiar feature of modern architecture, but consistency of colour can be particularly important where cladding is intended to coordinate with windows, doors, roofing or metalwork.

Argent’s capped composite construction and UV-stable outer surface are designed to help resist fading and weathering, helping the finished façade remain closer to the colour originally specified.

Unlike natural timber, it does not need to weather or silver as part of its ageing process. With no ongoing painting, staining or oiling required, it combines the visual texture of timber with the more controlled, low-maintenance performance of capped composite cladding from Ecoscape.

Design the rhythm

Board width can significantly change how Argent is perceived across an elevation.

Small – Fine Linear: 45mm boards create strong repeating lines and a detailed slatted appearance.
Medium – Balanced Linear: 64mm boards offer a versatile balance between texture, colour and shadow.
Large – Broad Linear: 119mm boards reduce the frequency of shadow lines to create broader, calmer areas of anthracite cladding.
Combi – Mixed Width: Grad’s Varibo rail brings different widths together to create a more expressive, individually designed façade.

Forma Click can be installed vertically, horizontally or diagonally, allowing orientation to become part of the architectural composition. A coordinated range of trims provides clean detailing around corners, openings and termination points.

Designed for installers

Forma Click integrates cleanly with Grad’s concealed fixing system, helping installers achieve consistent alignment without visible face screws interrupting the elevation.

Dedicated rails create uniform small, medium and large patterns, while the Varibo rail enables different profiles to be combined within one façade.

The result is a precise finished surface where the darker colour, timber-effect grain and board proportions remain the defining features.

Where Argent works particularly well

Argent is particularly suited to contemporary residential façades, extensions, garden buildings, apartments and commercial architecture.

It works especially well where cladding needs to coordinate with anthracite windows, aluminium detailing or roofing, or provide a darker counterpoint to pale render, stone or warm timber tones.

More Forma® Click × Grad® options

Argent is one of five Forma Click colours, alongside Silver Birch, Natural Oak, Dark Oak and Charred Wood.

Choose a uniform board width for a controlled, regular elevation or combine profiles using the Grad Varibo rail for greater variation.

Together, colour, board proportion and direction provide considerable design flexibility, while the capped composite surface helps maintain the intended architectural palette over time.
