Exterior cladding is a hot trend this Spring, remaining hugely popular post-COVID. Colin St John, the commercial director of FreeFoam Building Products, has predicted that cladding will remain the next big trend in home renovation until at least 2035.
We are big on supplying high-quality products at a great price. So, this April we are rolling out a fantastic discount on cladding. Up to 20% off on Fortex cladding boards!
Let’s explore why now is the perfect time to refresh the exterior of your home with an attractive cladding finish.
PVC cladding, timber, or brick?
While bricks and mortar remain the most common exterior of UK homes, PVC cladding is growing in popularity, and for good reason. Have you noticed the influx of new-build homes with striking exterior cladding? Unlike bricks or traditional timber cladding, PVC cladding is super easy to maintain. A quick wash of water every few months is all you need to keep the exterior of your home looking fantastic. The bold colour and design of the cladding will also give your home curb appeal, boosting its market value by giving older properties a new lease of life.
Apart from the clear aesthetic benefits of external cladding, there are some additional benefits to this renovation. Firstly, PVC cladding can improve the thermal efficiency of a property, when installed with standard insulation materials. In fact, when installed with insulation, Fortex cladding is A+ rated for efficiency according to the Building Research Establishment’s Green Guide. Fortex cladding is also lead-free and guaranteed to stand the test of time. As a mark of their confidence in the product, Freefoam offers a 10-year guarantee on their Fortex products (T&Cs apply).
Curating the perfect exterior with Fortex cladding.
While we may not want to think about it, COVID not only significantly altered our lives and relationships; it also affected our design choices. Following COVID, there has been a noticeable increase in the use of earthy tones in home décor. By leaning into sage, evergreen, tones of grey-green, and warmer earth tones such as terracotta, homeowners have been trying to bring the outside in. These earthy tones bring the peace and harmony of a sprawling forest into our living room.
So why stop with the interior? Bring these calming tones to the exterior of your property. Fortex has captured this tide of home renovation perfectly by offering weatherboard and shiplap cladding in an attractive embossed wood effect. No need to compromise when choosing the low maintenance PVC over the traditional timber cladding. Enjoy the beautiful, nature-inspired design without the upkeep of timber boards.
Fortex also offer customers a fantastic range of subtle colours. White, pale gold, sand, sage green, misty grey, and slate grey, to name a few. Whether you would like a striking, bold exterior with slate grey cladding, or make a statement with sage green cladding, Fortex makes sure you never have to compromise on quality. They have perfected an innovative colour technology that provides market-leading colour matching and colourfastness. Fortex cladding boards are also resistant to UV rays and discolouration, ensuring that you get to enjoy the colour you chose for years to come.
Have you thought about choosing a contrasting colour of cladding to that of your fascias and soffits? Alternatively, create a cohesive look by matching these aesthetic points of your home’s exterior.
