You do not have to clad the whole house at once. Here is where a little woodgrain aluminium makes the biggest difference.
Start at the entry
The front door and entry are where a home makes its first impression. A batten screen or clad entry wall delivers an outsized lift for a modest area.
Tackle the garage door wall
Garage doors and the wall around them dominate many street frontages. Cladding or battens here transform the facade's proportions and warmth.
Line the alfresco ceiling
A timber-look ceiling over the outdoor living area is a high-impact, contained project that you enjoy every day.
Add a feature screen
A single, well-placed screen - to a deck, a courtyard or a blank wall - adds character without cladding the entire home.
Build up over time
Because the finishes are consistent, you can start small and add matching elements later, knowing they will tie together.
