As the days become longer, and the light at the end of the COVID tunnel gets brighter, the home improvement sector doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon. Homeowners still have plenty of money sitting in their bank accounts – an extra £200bn according to the Bank of England – and the desire to make their homes more spacious, aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient means the residential construction market is set to expand for some time to come.
External cladding is among the many products that remain in high demand, providing an attractive, simple solution to renovate the external appearance of homes. Homeowners are using cladding to modernise and rejuvenate their homes, updating old timber cladding, hanging tiles and render finishes. Cladding has also become a popular external option for outhouses like home offices as hybrid working becomes more common and people need additional space to separate their working lives from their home-life.
Kieran Napthine, Managing Director of Edge Building Products says ‘Over the last 12 months, we’ve seen a big increase in customer demand for our cladding products, which has contributed to our overall growth as a business. Recognising this trend has resulted in our decision to expand our cladding range, offering our customers an even better range of products.’
This year Edge Building Products have expanded their cladding range to include HardiePlank Fibre Cement Cladding. Manufactured by James Hardie, the range is made from resilient, maintenance-free fibre cement and offers customers all the benefits of a stylish wooden façade with none of the hassle. Unlike competitor products, HardiePlank is made from natural materials which provides strength, durability and protection with an A2 fire rating.
