Choosing the right building materials for your project is no easy task. You have to balance the homeowner’s preferences, the renovation’s purpose, cost, and ease of installation. When one of these factors falls short, the entire project can become more difficult. To make your Spring and Summer builds more straightforward, we’re going to talk about the benefits of opting for low maintenance building materials. While natural materials like timber and stone are appealing, low maintenance options can provide the reliability you need without compromising on looks.
Top 5 Reasons to Choose Low Maintenance Building Materials:
- Stylish and Versatile Options.
- Save Time and Money During Installation.
- Lower Your Carbon Footprint.
- Boost Energy Efficiency.
- Create Long-Lasting Results.
Stylish and Versatile Options.
The appearance of your project is critical. After all, homeowners will live with it daily, so ensuring they’re happy with the finished product is a priority. That’s why we support builders by maintaining high stocks of a great range of PVC building materials.
Find durable and stylish composite cladding and decking options in a range of subtle natural colours and finishes. Whether you’re custom-spraying window trims for the perfect match or installing fascias and soffits in trending colours, our extensive range of foiled and power-coated PVC and aluminium options ensures your projects not only look great but are also low maintenance.
Save Time and Money During Installation.
Low maintenance materials like PVC are much lighter than traditional options, making them easier to handle and install. This not only speeds up the installation but also reduces the number of workers needed on site, ultimately saving you time and money—savings you can then pass on to your customers.
Additionally, PVC materials are often more affordable than natural materials due to their lower manufacturing costs. Plus, they eliminate the need for additional purchases like varnishes, paints, or waxes, further lowering your project’s overall cost. These material savings can contribute to a more competitive project price, which can help you win more jobs.
Lower Your Carbon Footprint.
Low maintenance building materials don’t just make installations easier—they’re also better for the environment. Because these materials are lighter, they reduce the fuel required for transportation. At Edge Building Products, we often partner with UK-based suppliers to ensure that our materials don’t travel long distances, cutting down on fuel consumption.
We also strive to make deliveries as efficient as possible. With our fleet of orange Edge vans serving the South East, we can deliver directly to your site, minimising the number of vehicles on the road, saving time, and cutting fuel usage.
Boost Energy Efficiency.
Energy efficiency is crucial for homeowners, whether you’re upgrading a patio door or replacing windows throughout a property. High-quality, efficient windows with thermal breaks help keep homes comfortable year-round, reducing energy bills and preventing damp issues.
To ensure your installations remain low-maintenance, opt for durable, weather-resistant PVC or aluminium trims. These trims won’t rot, ensuring your windows perform optimally and look great for years. If your customers love the look of timber, we offer foiled PVC trims with realistic wood finishes, combining the aesthetic appeal of wood with all the low-maintenance benefits of PVC.

Ensure your projects are built to last.
We know you take pride in your work, and using high-quality materials ensures your builds stand the test of time. One of the major benefits of low-maintenance building products is their durability. PVC products resist rot, warping, UV damage, and pests, meaning they’ll last longer than traditional materials. This not only enhances the longevity of your work but also reduces the volume of materials that end up in landfills due to weather-related damage.
Most low-maintenance materials only require a quick wash with soapy water to maintain their appearance. This ease of care helps your projects stay looking new, adding value for homeowners in the long run.
