Many modern properties built by private developers include cladding, and it can make perfect sense. Timber is a natural material, which is warm, comforting and inviting, and you can create a real nice country style with the right type of timber. Cladding also gives your home even more protection and insulation, which may be needed if you’re situated in the countryside where wind speeds can pick up. With such a wide variety of styles, textures and finishing options, there are lots of designs to consider, but inspiration can of course be found online. What’s more timber cladding can easily be rejuvenated or redecorated, and there are softwoods, hardwoods and modified woods to suit all budgets. If you’re thinking about giving your home a more rural look, then timber cladding could be a wise option, and quite often dry installation means your external envelope is quicker to install, speeding up the time spent building your home.
