What to choose for the exterior of the dream home you are building or renovating? Why Cedral fibre cement cladding will protect and add a ‘wow’ factor.
Together with the roof and windows, the outer shell of your home provides protection against the heat, cold, wind, UV rays, noise and fire and it considerably contributes to comfort inside the house. Construction standards are becoming increasingly strict. You should factor this into your plans and clad your project with a material that is durable over time, guaranteeing the best possible thermal performance and with the lowest carbon footprint.
One of the trends we are seeing now is towards more natural products. Fibre cement cladding is a strong, versatile and sustainable material made from natural raw materials, it doesn’t rot, rust, warp or crack under extreme temperature changes.
Fibre cement cladding acts like a second skin on a building’s exterior. A ventilated facade such as the Cedral ventilated rainscreen system can help to improve energy efficiency, reduces structural movement and extends the lifetime of the facade.
Advantages of Cedral facades
Enduring and low maintenance:
Cedral fibre cement cladding has a minimum life expectancy of 50 years. Cedral facades are also easy to install and all it takes to look as new is a wipe-down with a wet cloth.
Stands up to the harshest weather conditions:
Cedral fibre cement can withstand severe frosts, torrential rain, high heat and direct sunlight.
Fire-resistant:
Cedral cladding has an excellent fire classification of A2-s1, d0 which is one of the best classification ratings that can be achieved.
Stylish for both a modern and traditional look:
Whether the home has a contemporary design or a more classic appearance, Cedral facades can provide numerous options. Cedral cladding is available in weatherboards for a more traditional lapped style or in a flush fitting tongue and groove in a variety of textures and colours. There are many visual design possibilities including installing the cladding vertically to combine Cedral with different materials.
