10 Things to Consider Before Investing in Cladding
10 things to consider before investing in cladding
Thinking about fitting facade cladding to your home? Perhaps you’ve seen a neighbour’s house and admired the attractive design or heard about cladding’s many advantages. Need some help making up your mind? Let us take you through what you need to consider before you decide.
Fitting Cedral Facades on your home will:
Reduce maintenance costs
Made from durable fibre cement, Cedral is manufactured to withstand the harshest weather conditions and has a minimum life expectancy of 50 years. It doesn’t need regular repainting and won’t rot, rust, warp or crack.
Save time
If dramatically changing the look of your home sounds like a lengthy renovation project, think again. With its lightweight structure and easy-cut planks, Cedral facades offers fast and efficient installation.
Protect your home
Cedral boards act like a second skin on a building’s exterior and are frost, mould and water resistant.
Add insulation
You can opt to have an extra insulation added when the cladding is being fitted to improve both the thermal and acoustic insulation of the building. Read more here. Plus, find out how Cedral facades offer protection from the sun and help insulate your home in winter – read our blog.
Help to make your home safe
Cedral facades comprehensively meet the fire performance classification A2-s1,d0 to EN 13501-1:2018. Learn more about fire classifications here.
Create a wow factor
Smart cladding is a quick and easy way to give tired buildings an eye-catching makeover. Cedral cladding comes in a choice of 21-factory applied colours and 2 woodstains in a choice of woodgrain and smooth finishes so you can create a stylish look to suit your taste. Planks can be installed horizontally or vertically for a variety of finishes – mix it up with a two-tone scheme or make a statement in your favourite shade. Our design projects will provide you with lots of inspiration and you can even try our clever visualiser tool for an advance preview of how the cladding will look on your home.
Add value to your property
