Exterior Cladding

An exterior for a home can be relatively inexpensive with vinyl, but vinyl isn't always the most aesthetic. Exteriors can also get very expensive with stones or metal panels. For this renovation we will use accents of wood or fiber-cement board (shown as blonde wood) while the majority of the home will get vinyl siding (pale green) to keep costs minimal. 

The home will have about 1400sf of vinyl and 200sf of the accent material. The slide below has some prices from an RSMeans 2010 book to give an idea of how quickly prices can go up with different materials (http://www.rsmeansonline.com/).

  3. Different types of exteriors are now in the market for cladding. They all have different costs. In my view, polystyrene cladding is better than others.

  4. Rockpanel Cladding is the bonding together of dissimilar metals . It is different from fusion welding or gluing as a method to fasten the metals together. Cladding is often achieved by extruding two metals through a die as well as pressing or rolling sheets together under high pressure .

  5. I would have never thought about decorating the exterior like this. I love the look of this house and how unique it appears. I've been looking for something to make my home stand out just a little bit and I think this would be perfect. I'll have to look around my area and see if I can find anything similar. http://www.mastersystemssa.com/#!renders--set-plasters/cxd5
