Timber Clad Extensions Edinburgh
Why you should clad your extension with timber
Timber cladding has been a favourite covering for houses over centuries. Choose it for the outside of an extension to a home already clad this way, and it can make the new part feel as if it’s always been there.
More often, though, using wood is a way of distinguishing the addition from the original home, ensuring the extension is striking or making it visually lighter than the house.
Timber has the advantage of working compatibly alongside other materials in a new structure.
Here, it clads the more enclosed part of the extension for a cocooning feel, with the other side glazed to allow plenty of light in and promote views.
Notice how the slim, horizontal boards are echoed in the garden fencing that screens the terrace from the neighbour’s patch.
What is Cladding?
Cladding is a skin of material added to a structure for protection and decoration. Both manmade and natural materials are used as cladding, the former being chosen for usually being low maintenance. However, there are now a growing number of timber claddings that require little to no aftercare, too.
Your home may already have cladding and replacing like for like is a way to maintain the character of your home. This is especially important where the cladding matches the local vernacular.
Otherwise, cladding or render can be used to improve a tired and dated home. Inappropriate materials might need replacing or you could use something that will not need to be treated every couple of years.
Fixing Cladding To Exterior
PVCu cladding, whether is be in the style of larchlap or weatherboarding, is one of the cheapest cladding materials. It is available in both white and coloured finishes, but is prone to discolouration over time.
Investing in a high-quality version that comes with a fixed-period discolouration guarantee will ensure you have a durable and maintenance free exterior.
