    Hi Guys

    I was wondering if anyone had any experience in using tegral cladding in a build, we are currently looking at possible purchase of a timber frame house with Tegral cladding exterior.

    considering we were originally building a block house with concrete floors this is a bit of a 180.

    thanks
    Col

    their fibrecement panels look interesting. some of the uses on their website are rank but if kept simple i think it's a really nice product.

    ...we've used it on our own office, but so too had DoES on schools, RTE in Montrose has a lot of it, and many others. I've also used it on client builds (usually commercial).

    Like everything else, there are pro's & con's.

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. 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”

    Are we talking about fibre-cement panels or metal panels?

    Assuming metal - How is the noise level on a day like today galwaytt? With the new acoustic standards in schools there have even been some problems using metal sheeting on roofs.

    Hi guys as far as I know it is a polycarbonate material with a wood grain effect, to be fair it does look well and has low maintenance. its just not something I would have used in construction myself, but seeing I think it looks good.

    I think it is Cedral weatherboard
