classic look, the modern way
TRANSFORM YOUR HOME WITH A COTTAGE-STYLE FACADE FROM CEDRAL
Refreshing your interiors with a lick of paint, hanging stylish wallpaper or switching things up with new furnishings are the go-tos when it comes to decorating. But what about transforming your home’s exterior – where do you start and what style do you go for?
A recent study by Cedral, the UK’S leading provider of facades and roofing materials, revealed that cottage-style homes are the most coveted in the country. Yes it’s a timeless aesthetic that evokes a cosy feeling; a sense of homeliness and warmth but the slick lines of this shiplap look can also deliver a modern feel. So if your exterior is in need of a lift and you desire the most fashionable style around, then Cedral can help you change the appearance of yours to suit.
Cedral’s facade claddings provide an efficient way to enhance your home and give it modern cottage character. Made from durable fibre cement, the facades are manufactured to withstand the harshest weather conditions and have a minimum life expectancy of 50 years. They won’t need painting and are resistant to rot and warping and won’t rust as they do not contain any metals. The fibre cement boards act like a second skin on your home’s exterior, giving it brilliant protection; they’re frost, mould and water-resistant, plus they are fire-resistant.
With a lightweight structure, easy-cut planks that can be installed horizontally or vertically and a dry-fitting mortar-free process, the facades offer fast installation for instant kerb appeal. Simply choose from 21 factory-applied colours, two wood stains and a choice of wood grain or smooth finish for an update that will stay colour-true for years.
For project inspiration, just look to this stylish design in the Lake District, where Cedral has given a new-build family home a classic New England vibe. Picturesquely located by the side of a river, the location, though beautiful, had its challenges. With planning regulations stating that the construction had to offer up to 100 years of flood resistance, Cedral Lap cladding in Cream White was the perfect solution. Not only does it fit beautifully into the surrounding countryside, Cedral’s natural resilience against the external elements and minimum life expectancy of half a century will help to preserve this new home for the future.
