Know Your Options
When you’re planning to get a new wall cladding for your home, there are so many materials to choose from. This is why it’s highly recommended that you first learn about the pros and cons of each material, so you can make the best choice for your siding project.
Types of Wall Cladding
There are basically 4 basic types of wall cladding materials you can choose from when installing a new wall cladding on your home. They are as follows:
Cedar
This is a very popular choice when it comes to wall cladding because it is not only durable but also very attractive. It also has low maintenance and repair needs, which means it is a great investment for your home.
Fiber Cement
Fiber cement is also very popular. This type of wall cladding is made of fiber cement board, which is a paper-based material that is made from petroleum-based products. It is also known as F&C or as fiber cement because of its fiberglass-like appearance. It is a common material used for garage, fence, and shed walls. It is also used for garden walls. Once installed, it looks very similar to cedar, but it is just more affordable.
Asphalt Shingles
This is another popular choice when it comes to wall cladding. It is an affordable and highly durable material. It is also very easy to install, and it can last for decades. The only thing you should note about asphalt shingles is that they are not as attractive as other types of wall cladding.
Wood
This type of wall cladding is made of wood products that are either pressure-treated or non-pressure-treated. It is a common material used for the exteriors of houses, homes, and commercial buildings. These types of wall cladding are usually milled and come in various sizes, thicknesses, and designs.
