Cladding can be a vital addition to your home along with other roofline products to ensure your home remains as efficient as possible whilst also retaining the structural integrity. This article covers the advantages of cladding and other roofline services that we provide at Great Harwood Windows.
Cladding is the process of adding a material to the exterior of a building to act as a protective barrier. An important process that is often overlooked, there are many benefits to applying cladding to your home.
Often the most common reasons to opt for cladding is the benefit of being able to dramatically change the overall look of a property, instantly transforming its kerb appeal and boosting it’s market value.
All our cladding at Great Harwood Windows can be finished in a choice of colours and woodgrain foils ranging from traditional blacks and whites, to anthracite greys or soft greys to creams and greens featuring well known brands such as Fortex and Swish providing the highest quality.
Cladding requires very little maintenance in comparison to painted render or brick that requires upkeep every year to look it’s best; all that is required is a regular wash with water to keep your cladding looking it’s best. In addition to this all our cladding is made from uPVC, unlike its timber counterpart – uPVC won’t rot and requires no extra layer of protection such as stains and varnishes for example.
Properties that incorporate cladding to their exterior often look better for longer. They have increased resistance to water absorption, sunlight, changes in extreme temperature or strong winds that often cause cracks, damage and mould. This is an investment in your property, requiring less upkeep as time goes on. This protection from the elements retains your property’s structural integrity far longer.
As cladding is an extra layer on the exterior of your property, acting as a skin almost – it adds a layer of heat insulation to your property. This will help reduce your carbon footprint, cut energy bills and keep you warmer during the colder months. As a bonus, cladding will also reduce noise pollution, ideal if you live in a busy built-up area in metropolitan Greater Manchester.
At Great Harwood Windows we can offer variants of cladding to give property owners and developers options for customisation. These include Shiplap, double plank Shiplap, Open V and Featheredge. Cladding can be positioned either horizontally or vertically to suit your preference and comes in a range of thicknesses* to suit the architectural style of your property
