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.

Having a roof installed or renovated isn’t an investment you decide on overnight. You try to gather as much information as possible, request quotes and routinely set aside savings for it. You’ll also need to settle on a good roofer who can be entrusted with the roof installation.

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. 

If you take a short trip through town or the countryside, you’re sure to notice the wide variety of architectural styles straight away. Roof tiles, facade panels, slates, wood, brick – there are all kinds of building materials and techniques decorating the many roofs and facades you pass along the way. A new technique that continues to win over more and more housebuilders is to clad the entire building in fibre cement slates. That means the roofing essentially flows into the facade cladding so that the home’s complete outer shell  is clad in slate.
