  1. Notification: To initiate a return, notify us within 7 days from the date of delivery. You can contact our customer support team via email at info@cladsmart.com.au or by calling 0423 890 825.

  2. Return Condition: The product you wish to return must be in its original, unused condition and in the same packaging as received.

Warranty:

Our commitment to quality is reflected in our 15 year warranty on our outdoor panels and composite decking products, while our acoustic panels have a 5 year warranty. This warranty covers defects in material and workmanship, and we stand by it. However, it's essential to be aware of certain conditions:

Warranty Coverage:

Our warranty ensures the quality of our cladding products. It covers defects in material and workmanship during the 15 year warranty period, and we pledge to repair or replace any affected products at no additional cost.

Warranty Exclusions:

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Damage due to mishandling or improper installation
  • Damage resulting from accidents or misuse
  • Alterations or modifications to the product
  • This warranty is void if any chemicals, detergents, or abrasive cleaners are used on the panels. Only water should be used for cleaning. Using any chemicals or harsh cleaning agents will damage the panels and invalidate the warranty.

Warranty and Installation Guidelines:

Please note that adhering to our installation guidelines is imperative. Failure to follow these guidelines may void the warranty. Installation guidelines are provided with every purchase, and we recommend following them meticulously.

Voiding of Returns:

Returns will be voided if the product is mishandled or sustains personal damage after delivery. We are unable to accept returns for products that have been damaged through personal actions or misuse.

Claiming Warranty:

If you believe your product falls under our warranty coverage, please take the following steps:

  1. Contact Us: Notify our customer support team of the issue by sending an email to info@cladsmart.com.au or calling 0423 890 825.

  2. Provide Information: Please supply the original order number, a description of the issue, and any relevant images or documentation.

  3. Warranty Evaluation: Our team will assess your claim and determine the appropriate action, whether it's a repair or replacement.

Damaged on Delivery:

We take great care to ensure your order arrives safely, but if your items are damaged in transit, we're here to make it right.

  1. Inspect on Arrival: Please check your order as soon as it's delivered, before signing off or moving the panels, where possible.
  2. Report Within 7 Days: Contact us at info@cladsmart.com.au or 0423 890 825 within 7 days of delivery to report any damage. This timeframe is required by our freight insurance provider to process a claim — we are unable to accept damage claims made after 7 days, with no exceptions.
  3. Provide Evidence: Include your order number and clear photos of the damaged item(s) and packaging. This is required to lodge the freight claim and process your replacement.
  4. Resolution: Once reviewed, we'll arrange a replacement or refund for the damaged items at no cost to you. We'll confirm timing with you directly.

Please Note: This policy covers damage that occurs in transit and must be reported within the 7-day window. It does not cover damage caused after delivery, mishandling, or improper installation — see our Warranty section for coverage of manufacturing defects.
