External cladding is a versatile solution for enhancing the appearance, durability, and energy efficiency of a home. With various styles like Feather Edge, Shiplap, and V Joint, it offers homeowners the flexibility to choose the right aesthetic while also adding functional value.
1. Aesthetic Choice
Customizable Look: External cladding provides a neat, professional finish, with the option to choose from multiple colours to either make a statement or blend with surrounding architecture.
Variety: Our Weatherboard cladding, for instance, comes in eight colour options, allowing you to tailor the look to your preferences. This can add curb appeal and may positively impact resale value.
2. Low Maintenance
Easy Upkeep: PVC cladding requires minimal maintenance compared to painted walls or timber. Usually, a quick wash or wipe-down suffices, and using PVCu Solvent Cleaner for white cladding can extend the time between cleanings.
Time-Saving: Unlike timber or paint, PVC doesn’t need frequent maintenance, making it an ideal choice for those who want a stylish exterior without a high upkeep commitment.
3. Structural Protection
Enhanced Durability: Adding cladding creates a protective layer, reducing the risk of moisture infiltration that could lead to mould or rot. The ventilation system within the cladding design helps expel moisture, safeguarding the structure.
Weather Resistance: PVC cladding is highly resilient against various weather conditions, preserving the building's exterior longer.
4. Insulation
Thermal and Acoustic Benefits: Cladding offers insulation for both temperature and noise. This can help keep interiors warmer during colder months and reduce energy costs, while also dampening exterior noise.
Energy Efficiency: By helping to regulate indoor temperatures, cladding can lead to lower heating bills, making it a practical choice in urban or colder regions.
5. Financial Value
Long-Term Investment: Though initially costly, cladding increases a home's value due to its aesthetic and functional benefits. It can also reduce future maintenance costs and add longevity to the structure.
Potential Resale Benefits: Homes with cladding may be more appealing to buyers due to its energy efficiency and low-maintenance requirements.
6. Increased Safety
Fire-Resistant Material: Our PVC cladding holds a fire classification of EN 13501-1: 2007+A1: 2009 - D-s3,d2/AVM, indicating low combustibility. Unlike timber, PVC cladding is much slower to ignite, providing a safer option for homeowners.
Certified Quality: Our PVC and M-Boss cladding is BBA Certified and British Standards Registered, ensuring high safety and quality standards.
With these benefits, external cladding provides a durable, attractive, and cost-effective way to upgrade your home. It not only enhances the property’s visual appeal but also protects and insulates, making it a sound investment for the future.
