It’s the same every year. The minute the sun comes out, our attention turns from the house to the garden.
But what if once you get out there, you wish you weren’t?
No shade, zero interest, nowhere to sit and a view of the house that fills you with nothing but a desire to move!
Don’t let garden woes spoil your summer. Transform the space instead – with composite exterior cladding.
Why use composite exterior cladding?
Because why make work where you don’t need to?
The idea here is to get out and enjoy your garden, not to lengthen your list of chores.
By using cladding made of composite (a clever mix of recycled plastic and wood fibres), you get the same natural aesthetic as wood but without any of the upkeep!
Unlike wooden cladding – which requires annual treatments and regular painting to stay in good condition – composite exterior cladding is specifically designed for outside use and will demand nothing from you in terms of time or energy (phew!).
How composite cladding can enhance your outside space
Improve the view
Ugly exterior? Patchy rendering? Peeling paint? Hide them!
With exterior composite cladding, it’s quick and easy to transform the look of your home. You can cover over unsightly areas and quite literally give your property a facelift.
Break away from traditional horizontal boards and use cladding vertically for a smart, contemporary look. By getting creative, not only will the view from your deckchair improve, but you’re guaranteed to add kerb appeal should you ever wish to sell.
And that’s not the only bonus. Fitting exterior cladding also offers your home more protection and insulation – which will help to keep those energy bills down once the heating goes back on.
Bar
Nothing says summer quite like a refreshing iced drink, so why not create a garden bar and serve your own?
Cladding is a great way to turn what could look like a makeshift bar into a great chill-out spot. Perfect for filing an unused corner of the garden or adding a new dimension and interest to a decked area.
Garden office
No one wants to be stuck indoors working when the sun’s shining, but few of us have much choice. So, if you’re still part of the WFH crew, how about creating a garden office?
Incorporate large windows and doors and it will feel like the room is part of the garden. Cover with composite cladding and not only will it look the part it will also help to protect and insulate your office. Meaning you can use it all year round, helping to separate work from home life.
Summer house
If you don’t need a workspace but like the sound of gaining another room to escape to, why not consider a summer house?
Lose the desk and switch stationery supplies for comfy seating and cushions and you’re already halfway there.
Playhouse
Maybe adult space isn’t the problem. Perhaps you’re keen to build somewhere for the kids to hang out?
If that’s the case, then using exterior composite cladding to clad a play house can transform the children’s den from a garden eye sore to somewhere even the adults want to hang out.
Build protection
Whether it’s for shade or shelter, creating a small area for respite from the weather, good or bad, is a great idea – and composite cladding is ideal for a project like this.
For the most benefit, especially on rainy days, it’s advisable to build your shelter directly from your property – perhaps coming from your back door or patio. That way you can open the door and be outside without getting wet. Clad with exterior cladding – designed to withstand all elements – and you make what’s essentially a functional ‘add-on’, look like an attractive and architectural feature of your property.
