4/17/2020

Whether you are building or renovating, energy efficiency and heat retention is a key issue. A popular method is to install wall insulation on the outside of your property, but what kind of façade cladding should be placed over it? PVC, wood, fibre cement panels? This comparison should help you.

Which best stands the test of time?

Your façade cladding must be able to withstand the elements, insects, algae and other moulds. You’ll also be glad to know that it’s non-combustible. The fact that you don’t have to change it after a few years will also put a smile on your face!

Durability and performance

Construction standards are becoming increasingly strict and will be even more stringent in the future. You should factor this into your plans and clad your project with a material that is durable over time, guaranteeing the best possible thermal performance and has the lowest carbon footprint.
