Trespa External Cladding

Elaine McConville

Hi

We're considering using Trespa to clad the exterior of a single storey extension. Does anyone have any experience or feedback on using this material? What is the cost per square m and is installation something that can be done by an experienced diy-er?

Thanks

Hi I am struggling deciding on cladding colour and window style/colour for a new dormer. We have a bungalow with rear dormer but are adding front dormer. Walls will be rendered white and have plantation shutters. We are not sure whether to have grey windows or white but we will also use cedral cladding on the cheeks of the dormers so have a big range of colours to choose from. I'd like to use an app to take a photo of the house and play with colours is there a good one to use? Thanks

We are building a large extension on our house and will be rendering it white but can't decide on a) whether to cladding the top half (agate grey) and if so what colour windows to have. our windows are too big for sash windows and we have been put off Georgian windows from a number of windows companies due to light. our issue is that as the house isn't built, we cant take photos and see what it looks like. we need to choose soon. our options are light grey cladding and white windows, no render and agate windows.. or maybe agate cladding and windows. any advice welcomed

I think theres a lot of potential there and give the house is of a modern (mid century?) style i would play on the contemporary setting with a simple palette of few materials well used. For example loose the crazy paving for sure and you could have lawn or have a scattering or multi stem trees such as birch as has been suggested set in slate mulch or low mass planting. I think the drive needs to be pulled away from the house as it looks like the car is parked up against the front door, you have room to make the turning area wider and so you can park away from the house, rather than obscure it. If budget always you could replace the tired concrete block drive with a resin bound surface in silver stone or new grey blocks. The key is to be bold and keep it simple with a limited number of materials which are well executed to compliment the house! Good luck

The house looks like its got a good base and just needs a bit updating. I think cladding it in live edge timber would look great with the dormer windows matching. The frames could be changed but it might not be worth the cost/ hassle right away, I'd change the garage door to a timber one and maybe clad the porch area in a stone to work with the other stone walls? You could also change the small roof at the front for a balcony (or faux balcony) with a metal railing. It would look good with some planting on it, maybe on the rails?
