Faux Timber Cladding
-
24-01-2010 8:59pm#1Folks, I'm building an extension to my house (see 3D model output below). The main house is traditional red brick (downstairs) and render (upstairs). I'm thinking of going for a contrast in materials for the extension, namely stone and timber cladding. But when it comes to cladding I want something that is maintenence free and will not fade. So ideally I want a man-made product. So is there something that fits the bill (and apologies to the traditionalists out there).

I just built a small building using Tegral's boards - see pic attached.
I think it's a great product btw. No connection - but I'm glad I could skip the whole plastering thing............

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Roping in a bit of DIY, it's about €30/m2.
Easy to fit, I did the small bit lately in an evening after work (finished under lights of car !
)
So, start with your walls, and batten out.....
Add reveals to corner's and ope's (I used 25mm thick cementitious board btw..)
'Just' add the pre-painted board.........told you it got dark ! :P
Et, voilá : finished.
All FYI, no connection, I don't sell it/fit it etc - I bought it from a provider's just like anyone else.
I love not having to paint/sand/stain/preserve it etc.Ode To The Motorist

thats a fine job. I'm planning a new build now and am looking at various finishes. I cannot get a mortgage so I need to keep costs down. For that reason I may look at the normal profiled sheeting
Presumably the profiled sheeting is the cheapest and quickest (cheapest) to install. Do you if the design you went with was much more expensive? How much was it a piece?0 -
whats the material behind the battens?? how is the boards fixed on?? thanksRoping in a bit of DIY, it's about €30/m2.
