An example of how Cedral Click provided self builders with the materials to create a unique and contemporary property is a new build project in Newport-on-Tay. Located on the picturesque banks of the River Tay, BlackDog Architecture was comissioned by a retired couple to create a beautiful yet modern family home. The homeowners wanted the architects to create a low maintenance property whilst still being aesthetically striking against the scenic surroundings. Michael McGurk, who led the team at BlackDog Architecture, commented: “The on going maintenance requirements were a priority for the design and this underpinned our decision to specify the Cedral Click solution. The Cedral Click product gave a lighter shade and another texture to the finish, complementing the overall design. Crucially it also offered the low maintenance solution we were seeking. “Although the client liked the idea of natural timber, the Cedral Click solution proved to be the ideal alternative due to weathering and annual maintenance being kept to a minimum. The modern flat appearance, with a small shadow gap from the tongue and groove profile, was also a notable factor when compared to the more traditional feather edge cladding profiles on the market.” The completed project was a dynamic new build, which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but requires little on going maintenance, and can be enjoyed by the homeowners well into their retirement.
