Do you want some cladding ideas? If you’re looking for a way to update and refresh your home’s exterior, external wall cladding can be an excellent way of completely changing the visual appeal of your home. It can give your home a facelift while also adding an additional layer of insulation and adding curb appeal to your property. Not only this, cladding is an excellent option for reducing the maintenance needed over the years to keep your home looking smart.

Do you want some cladding ideas? Cladidng can give your home a facelift while also adding curb appeal to your property.

Cladding has grown in popularity over the years and many more people are looking to it as a means of rejuvenating their home’s existing facade. Here’s a list of ways you can use cladding material to give your home a new lease of life. Take a look at the cladding options that are available, as well as some ways in which you can use them to stunning effect.

Let’s get started with some Exterior Wall Cladding ideas

BRICK SLIPS OR NATURAL STONE CLADDING

Brick slips are a popular choice when it comes to cladding as they are lightweight and easy to adhere to your home. This may be the best choice if you have an older property as you can source handmade or reclaimed slips to match your home’s current exterior. This external cladding allows you to stay in keeping with the period of the property and keep your home looking authentic.

WOOD CLADDING

Timber cladding is available in a wide range of materials from hardwoods to softwoods and timber weatherboards. You can find different materials to complement the exterior of your home. Wood can be painted any color, stained, or treated to coincide with most style choices. This cladding design lends itself to a bright and contemporary look, a reserved, muted facade, or even industrial design styles. With timber cladding, you can recreate that perfect New England cottage look.

Timber cladding costs vary depending on what material you choose and the type of cladding used on your home. There are a variety of ways in which wood can be used to clad the exterior of the home, from shiplap to tongue and groove. Each can have a dramatic impact on the look of your home from timelessly traditional to sleek, stylish, and modern.

Before deciding on a type of timber, consider the maintenance that will be required. Softwoods need regular maintenance so hardwoods are preferable when it comes to choosing a cladding with weather resistance and longevity.

PVCU OR VINYL

PVCu cladding is one of the most cost-effective types of cladding available and can be found in a variety of colors. PVCu cladding comes in a choice of profiles, just as with timber cladding, so you can choose a finish that fits in with the neighborhood or makes more of a statement, depending on your preferences.

If you’re worried about timber cladding weathering over time, you can find various PVCu alternatives that are designed to imitate wooden finishes as well as mimic other more expensive options such as metal cladding.

FIBER CEMENT

Fiber cement is one of the more weather-resistant options so is an excellent choice if you are concerned about the longevity of your cladding.

This cladding option is made from a combination of materials including cellulose fiber found in trees, cement, sand, and water. As such, it requires little maintenance and will continue to look good season after season. It can also be made to resemble other materials such as wood for a more natural finish if desired.

PARTIAL CLADDING

Partial cladding is a great choice if you are looking for the most cost-effective option. A home does not need to be clad from top to bottom to still create a stunning effect. Partial cladding with a color palette that is complimentary or contrasting is a cost-effective way to give your home a unique look while saving on costs such as scaffolding and additional materials.

CLADDING COLORS

When cladding your home with timber, you have the option to change the color and effect of your cladding as part of your annual maintenance. For those who change their mind easily, this is a great way of brightening up your home without having to commit to the long haul.

VERTICAL CLADDING

Vertical cladding is a contemporary, stylish way of cladding your home that will really make a statement. Rather than laying your cladding materials horizontally across your home’s exterior walls, as traditional cladding would dictate, rotate them 90° and work from top to bottom. This will give your home a sophisticated feel and a design-led edge.

Cladding is the perfect way to breathe new life into your home’s exterior. Not only will you make your home look smart, saleable (if that’s what you’re aiming for), and sophisticated, but you’ll also be adding a range of benefits to your home including better insulation and weatherproofing, which is an added bonus that we all can appreciate.

If you’re interested in image design, this article might help you understand the laws of great design.
