Do you enjoy the warm and authentic look of wood? A material that soothes the mind and offers added value in a wide range of architectural styles.

Fibre cement slates offer tons of advantages, making them ideal for renovation projects. The fact that they are lightweight, come in several different colours and can be fitted with an extra layer of insulation are just a handful of their best attributes.

There was no doubt in 2017 that sustainable building and renovation were on the rise. Building regulations related to insulation were becoming increasingly stricter and more demanding. What’s more, many builders and renovators began opting for energy-efficient solutions of their own accord, that seamlessly combined a respect for nature and a focus on energy consumption.

Is your  roof undergoing renovations, or have you hit the roof phase of your new-build project? There’s no doubt about it – it’s a stressful affair! Selecting the material, colour and pattern aren’t the only issues you have to tackle. On top of that, you’ve also got to find a company you can entrust with such a huge investment.

The facade is the showpiece of a home. An eye for detail is essential to achieving the look you have in mind. In that respect, how reliable or good-looking a product is isn’t the only thing that counts. A finish that’s perfect down to the smallest detail also has a powerful impact on the end result. Cedral’s goal is to help you make that happen.
