14-Day Returns Policy
Returns are accepted within 14 days from the delivery date.

Goods must be received back within this period to qualify.
Condition of Goods
To be eligible for a return:
- Goods must be unused
- Goods must not be cut, installed or modified
- Goods must be in original condition
- Goods must be returned in original, undamaged packaging
- All components originally supplied must be included
Any signs of use, damage, marking, scratches, dirt or alteration will result in the return being rejected.

- Composite decking boards
- Composite cladding
- Wall panels
- Flexible stone
- Trims & accessories
If goods are returned in unsuitable condition, they will be rejected and stored pending customer collection.
Restocking Fee
All approved returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee.
This reflects handling, inspection, repackaging and administrative costs associated with returned building materials.
Return Shipping
Customers are responsible for arranging and paying for return shipping.
We do not offer a collection service for returned goods.
Returns must be sent using:
- A tracked service
- Adequate packaging
- Full insurance coverage
NW Composite is not responsible for goods lost or damaged during return transit.
Refund Processing
Once returned goods are received and inspected, you will be notified via email regarding approval or rejection.
If approved, refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 5–7 working days, minus the 20% restocking fee.
Damaged or Faulty Goods
If goods arrive damaged, this must be reported within 48 hours of delivery, with clear photographic evidence.
Do not install damaged goods.
We reserve the right to inspect or request return of faulty items before issuing a replacement or refund.
Important: Ordering Samples
We strongly recommend ordering samples before placing large or full project orders.
Colours and finishes may appear differently depending on lighting conditions and screen settings. Viewing a physical sample allows you to assess tone, texture and suitability before committing to a larger purchase.
As building materials are heavy and costly to transport, returns are not encouraged for colour preference reasons.
Non-Returnable Items
We do not accept returns on:
- Cut or modified boards
- Installed materials
- Custom or special-order products
