Hi there - it is called shiplap and is usually used outside which is why it is why robust. The finish is an oil eggshell paint. I hope that is useful. Thanks

To clad or not to clad ?
Q

Properly executed cladding should not cause any issues, but I have personally seen first hand that badly installed cladding literally destroyed a building structurally by creating a great environment for fungus to spread. Before making your decision you might want to go over this official guide on cladding: http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/20130726-1707-25045-0913/chapter9.pdf It gives a lot of information on how cladding works, behaviour of water on cladding etc. I would personally never use cladding, but I have seen cladded buildings doing absolutely fine for 25+ years. Saying that they were in mild climates with no coastal winds or airborne salt. I'm not an expert on cladding or coastal properties. Insulation on an old house is always a good idea, as it really helps with cold spots and can greatly reduce fuel bills. With smooth render, you can also add additives to it to help inhibit salt, which would increase its lifespan in your area.

Cladding... keeping it or not

Problem with these 60s houses is the bricks are ghastly... very little work arounds to that other than external insulate and render. Claddding always poses an issue of longevity and fading of timber (looks good when installed and a cause of regret when it fades). We have recently used a weatherboard on deveopments in London and it looks great, is long lasting and available in a range of colours to suit everyones preference. https://www.marleyeternit.co.uk/Facades/Weatherboard/Cedral-Click.aspx

I have had lots of nice comments on my house. Thanks everyone. I would add that I love the 1970's houses the big windows and open concept groovy style. However, the technology to pull it off wasn't quite there when they were built. If you are updating a 1970's house think about how you can introduce more insulation. I did the following: - internally insulated external walls with 10cm of wool. - insulated between floors (keeps things warm and prevents sound) - installed triple glazing and insulated behind the cladding. My heating bills are now minimal

Is composite cladding cheaper than real wood cladding?
Q
Comments (2)
I spent quite a lot of time trying to decide on cladding for my porch. Got lots of samples of composite cladding, but ended up with Western red cedar. Costs vary from one supplier to another. Composite can be cheaper or more expensive than timber, then there's the different types of timber to consider. There's no simple answer I'm afraid. You pays your money and makes your choice.
