How to get a new look for your house?


Whenever you come home after a long and tiring day at work, don’t you simply love it if the kitchen is all clean and sparkling, couches are popcorn free and cleaned every table and chair and lamp in the house is at their proper position and there is not a speck of dust in sight? Everyone loves coming home to a neat, clean and welcoming home. But what do you think about the exteriors of your house? Do you like seeing the same old paint, the dust, the rust on windows? I don’t think anybody likes that. So what should you do? Well, in my opinion, you should opt for wall cladding panels.

What are wall cladding panels? Cladding panels or sidings are a building material which is used to cover the exteriors of a building, whether it is a house or an office. The panels which are used to clad the walls do not offer any structural support to the building. They are used for protection of buildings for rain, dust, weather etc. As they are not contributing to a building by supporting it, you can use any durable material to clad the exterior walls of your house. Just make sure that the material used is not so heavy that it puts substantial weight on the roof and on whole building structure.

Some of the ideal options which can be used to make cladding panels are metal, wood or even concrete to clad the walls of your house. But the most popular panels which are used for wall cladding are vinyl. These wall claddings are also the cheapest type of cladding material. The second most preferred choice for cladding walls is panels made from aluminum. Although it is more expensive than the vinyl panels but it lasts longer, is more durable and strong. Some people also use wood from the cedar and redwood tree. It is much more expensive and requires high maintenance but it is preferred by some people for its aesthetic appeal.

The panels which are used for cladding the exterior walls of a house or office serve dual purpose. These panels not only increase the aesthetic appeal and value of house, but they also protect the home from harsh weather, rains, winds etc. The color and the material which will be used for cladding is mostly chosen according what will suit or complement the look of house. But choosing the cladding for your exterior walls, make the walls safe from moisture, fungus and mold etc. These are also useful during the winters when these panels provide low insulation from the transfer of heat and leakage of air. Before buying cladding panels, see which one suits both your tastes and pocket. Also don’t just go according the price tag, also see which has a longer life and also requires less maintenance.
