Is cladding a good insulator?

Many homeowners want to reduce their energy bills and make their homes more energy efficient.

Fitting exterior cladding to your home can provide the ideal solution to insulate your home. It has been designed for all materials, including brick, block, masonry, and concrete. Once a property is cladded, it can give an A+ rating, meaning cladding not only improves the appearance of your home but gives extra insulation and the chance to save money.

Why is cladding a good option for my home?

• Flexible Design

Exterior cladding is a flexible design solution. Cladding provides design flexibility over brick, vinyl and wood. The stunning appearance of our cladding is enhanced by two available textures, cedar and smooth. This allows you to achieve the right textural effect for your home design, whether it mimics a traditional wood or a contemporary style.

• Quick and easy to install

Cladding is a straightforward installation process and brings advanced building technology to homes. It is lightweight, easy to cut and work with, and has a simple, speedy installation technique.

• Durable 

Cladding is made from an advanced, durable material five times thicker than the typical vinyl cladding. The HardiePlank cladding we use is fire, moisture, pest and rot resistant. It remains unaffected by rain and hail damage and has been assessed to withstand the severest weather conditions. With our cladding product, you can rest assured that the weather will have a minimal impact on your home’s facade.

• Minimal maintenance

Pre-primed and factory painted, our cladding uses modern colour technology by using a multi-coat, baked-on finish giving a minimal maintenance solution that is fade resistant.

• Guaranteed to last

We want to provide homeowners with complete peace of mind about our cladding products. All our exterior cladding comes with a 10-year limited warranty.
