3 Cladding Options for a New Build Home

Are you looking to buy your first home? Or perhaps you have just secured a home and are about to move in or have got the keys and moved in already? Either way, as a homeowner, you are most likely incredibly excited to start decorating your new home so that it shows your likes and personality. After all, you want your home to reflect who you are as a person so that you can live comfortably and happily within the walls of your new abode.

3 Cladding Options for a New Build Home

Deciding What to Focus on

But how can you put your own stamp on your home? There are numerous ways you can do this – some small, such as adding furniture to your home; others large, like updating your home’s exterior. At the end of the day, you need to ensure that all the changes you make to your home will reflect you as a person but also make you happy, content, and comfortable. Other bonuses of decorating and renovating your new home include increasing its kerb appeal and adding value to your home which will, down the line, help you sell your home for a profit so that you can move to a bigger or more expensive home (if this is what you wish to do).

One great way to transform your home (both aesthetically but also to add value) is through cladding. Cladding can add charm and whimsy to your home, while also making your home look sleek and much more modern than the typical brickwork that we see today. Cladding can otherwise turn a usual and typical building into one that has contemporary charm which would suit a modern homeowner.

What are the Benefits of Cladding?

There are numerous benefits of adding cladding to your home. Firstly, cladding can protect the structural integrity of the walls from the elements. This means your bricks will be protected by extreme weather like wind, rain and the blistering sun, but also provide a barrier to help protect your house from rapid temperature changes and moisture build up.

Cladding can also help insulate your home, as it provides an additional barrier so that it becomes harder/takes longer for warm air to leave your home once it is heated up, but it also stops warm air from coming in during the summer months when you wish to keep your home cool. This extra layer of insulation can help reduce your energy bills, saving you money but also reducing your home’s carbon footprint.

Lastly, cladding can be aesthetically pleasing, transforming the look of your home. It can make your home more modern looking, providing it with a clean and crisp outline and increasing your home’s value.

Different Types of Cladding

So, which cladding is right for your home? And what cladding can be beneficial to the environment?

1. Composite Cladding

The composite cladding has many benefits. For starters, the composite cladding by Ecoscape is renowned for being long lasting, eco-friendly, and low maintenance, making it a worthy investment. Their composite cladding is made from recycled plastic and reclaimed wood fibres, meaning your home can look modern and sleek but also have the eco-friendly properties that will make your home more environmentally friendly, too.

2. Panel Cladding

Panel cladding is the typical style of cladding you’ll see on most houses. It marries typical cladding styles with modernism so that it can look rustic but also contemporary at the same time. Plus, with so many colour options available nowadays, you can select a cladding colour that suits your home’s overall theme. For a contemporary theme, darker cladding is a better option. However, for a rustic and wholesome exterior, natural wood cladding should be your go-to choice.

3. Slatted Cladding

Slatted cladding is usually smaller boards with larger looking gaps between. It can make your home look modern with its unusual design, however, slatted cladding can be great for gardens as well as the exterior of your home. Again, you can choose from a variety of colours. Take a look online for some pictures of finished projects to get an idea of what it could look like when finished.

Is Cladding Worth the Investment?

Cladding, much like any home renovation ideas, is an investment. You will want to ensure that you are happy with how your home will look with cladding and out time and effort into deciding on the seller, style, and colour of the cladding to ensure that it suits your home’s overall aesthetic. Overall, cladding can add value to your home and increase your home’s kerb appeal. Remember, cladding can be quite a renovation project, but it is absolutely worth it in the end.
