Vastern Timber’s Canadian cedar is a slowgrown, durable cladding option, priced from around £51 per m2.
Render
External render is a cost-effective choice for both new homes and for giving existing houses a facelift. It can be used across all elevations or in combination with other finishes, such as masonry or timber cladding, to add architectural interest. It can be smooth or textured, and some modern products are self- or through-coloured (so the hue runs all the way through the finish).
