- Products used: SAM Trimax TG & V Cladding
SAM Trimax featured at this year’s RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, showcasing its high-performance, low-maintenance cladding solution.
The ‘One Element’ garden, designed and built by Nadine Charlton (Home Spring Gardens) and Michael Lote (MJL Garden Designs), demonstrates how reclaimed materials and innovative technology can contribute to a more resourceful future. With a closed-top water system that ensures clean, filtered water is supplied to the soil, the garden challenges its visitors to rethink water in the domestic garden.
Ethically Sourced MaterialsÂ
The ‘One Element’ garden relies on reclaimed waste and materials, with SAM Trimax being the only new addition to the space. This decorative cladding was chosen for its durability and its sustainability, aligning with the garden’s ethos. The material still maintained an excellent appearance despite being reused from its last debut at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.



Robust External CladdingÂ
SAM Trimax cladding is carefully sourced from FSC certified sustainable forests and boasts a 50-year guarantee on the substrate, ensuring longevity for years to come. Available primed or fully finished, SAM Trimax is a versatile and hassle-free choice for exterior cladding that can withstand the outdoor elements. With little maintenance required and simple installation, SAM Trimax will retain its professional finish and structural integrity long after it is installed.
“It’s really exciting to see our SAM Trimax cladding used in such a creative design,” said Megan Lennon, Marketing Manager at SAM, “We are so proud to be able to support this sustainable project which reflects our commitment to manufacturing innovative, environmentally friendly cladding solutions.”
Innovation in Landscape DesignÂ
The ‘One Element’ garden is a prime example of how reclaimed materials and innovative products can support sustainability in landscape design and construction.
