A house façade is an investment for years to come, so choosing a finishing material is far from easy. Natural wood is certainly beautiful, but it needs maintenance and has its drawbacks. We have a happy medium for you: CEDRAL cladding boards combine a beautiful, natural appearance with the durability characteristic of cement.
Modern construction increasingly uses innovative solutions such as ventilated façade systems, in which CEDRAL boards are installed. A special system uses the gap between the board and the wall to provide the right airflow and protect the building from moisture.
Durable cladding with the look of wood
We often find ourselves having to choose between durability and the façade appearance we dream of. CEDRAL boards offer a wood texture and high resistance to the changeable weather typical of the Polish climate, making them a good solution in this situation. This is thanks to fibre cement, which, unlike natural wood, is durable and non-combustible. It is made from environmentally friendly raw materials: natural cellulose fibres, cement, sand and water. A façade clad in CEDRAL boards is therefore an excellent alternative to wood. It is not only attractive and sturdy but also resistant to pest attack. Another feature of CEDRAL boards is that they require no maintenance, while the façade warranty covers up to 10 years. This undoubtedly makes life easier for the client and reduces running costs.
A timeless look for your façade
The texture of natural wood gives the façade an elegant, stylish appearance, while the wide choice of colours can give the building a distinctive look. CEDRAL offers more than 20 board colours, making it easy to coordinate them with other parts of the façade. CEDRAL boards can be used both to finish new houses and to renovate existing buildings. The wide range of design possibilities means that fibre cement boards can be used not only across the whole building but also in selected areas, such as around balconies or between windows, or as a strip of wood-effect boards along the façade. It is important to coordinate the colours of these features with the render or other façade materials. This can give the façade an interesting, individual appearance. CEDRAL boards are also ideal for soffits, providing a neat, attractive finishing touch to the façade. The range includes CEDRAL Lap Wood boards for traditional overlapping cladding, and CEDRAL Click for a slightly more modern look, creating a flat, closely fitted surface.
Ideal for finishing small and large housing developments
Particularly recommended for housing developments, terraced houses and semi-detached houses, where wood that was initially identical can soon look different. Several factors contribute to this. Natural wood absorbs water, shrinks, swells and moves as temperatures change. Before long, each resident is caring for the wood in a different way. Unfortunately, the visual result is a loss of consistency across the façades. This will not happen when fibre cement boards are used for the cladding. With a durable façade, the architecture of the development will remain a coherent whole for many years.
