Black Composite Slat Exterior Wall Panels | Outdoor Cladding & Siding
The Most Dramatic Finish in the Lineup — Deep Black, Bold Contrast, Built for the Outdoors
Make a statement with the Black Composite Slat Exterior Wall Panels from Highlander Home®. Where Gray & Black introduces contrast and Maple brings warmth, pure Black delivers the most dramatic finish in the collection — a deep, uniform tone that turns any exterior wall into an architectural feature. High-contrast against light stone, stucco, or concrete, and striking alongside natural wood trim, black metal hardware, or greenery.
Built with advanced co-extrusion technology and a polyethylene-based waterproof film, these panels are engineered to hold their finish and structural integrity through years of outdoor exposure. No fading, no warping, no maintenance — just a clean, bold exterior that looks intentional from every angle.
Order a sample first to confirm the tone works in your space. Lighting affects how composite colors appear — seeing it in person before committing to full boxes is always the right call.

The Black Difference
Black is the highest-contrast finish in the Highlander Home® exterior slat panel range. The deep matte tone eliminates visual noise and lets the slat geometry do the work — clean shadow lines, strong horizontal or vertical rhythm, and a finish that reads equally well on residential and commercial projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are these panels made from?
High-impact WPC with a polyethylene-based waterproof film — recycled wood fiber and polymer blend engineered for outdoor durability.
Will the black fade over time?
The polyethylene outer film is UV-resistant and holds color significantly better than painted or stained wood. Like all dark finishes in direct sun, some weathering may occur over many years, but these panels are built to maintain their appearance long-term.
Are the panels truly weatherproof?
Yes. UV, moisture, mold, and impact resistant. Temperature tested -30°F to +130°F.
What does the lug system do?
The lugs on the back of each board create a natural air gap between the panel and the wall. This ventilation channel helps manage moisture and temperature behind the cladding.
Can I install on a ceiling?
Yes — drive fasteners into solid framing for overhead installations.
Do the panels need sealing or painting?
No. Pre-finished composite. Clean with water and a soft brush as needed.
Is free shipping included?
Yes — free shipping within the contiguous United States.
Do you have a showroom?
Yes — 10926 Woodside Ave Suite A, Santee, CA 92071. Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm.
