Hi, I’m wanting to use Brick cladding on my teenagers loft bedroom, can anyone recommend? Don’t want very expensive and don’t want to use brick effect wall paper. Any help, recommendations would be fabulous. Thanks

You could use brick slips which are actually real bricks but much slimmer. They do look very realistic but will need someone to apply them. They are applied rather like tiles. Wallpaper is a much cheaper option.

Thanks @sonia, that is the effect I am wanting. I’ll have a look into it! 🙌🏼

We're about to turn our red brick 1950's single story house into a modern contemporary 2 storey home and we want to add some timber (or timber look) cladding to break up the render. We're in Sydney and most of the cladding would be west facing. I don't mind the maintenance too much, and it needs to be durable. What would you recommend?

Hi. Is your builder referring to brick slips? These can be used on walls as tiles, they do not look fake (they're essentially a very slim brick but I think some some them are real brick ie a sliver of brick whereas others are not). I think you can buy them as prefabricated walls/sheets or alternatively buy some kind of grid system to install (my builder told me but can't remember the name of the system but it wouldn't mean you don't necessarily need a pro to fit). Have a look at brick slips.co.uk but they're sold in a lot of places. This pic is from ebay. I think they're a fair bit cheaper than £60sqm but don't quote me as may be wrong! Do ask your builder as well

You could consider matching the existing white render to whatever is used on your new extension. If you chose timber cladding, I could suggest something lighter, maybe a larch/Douglas fir/oak(/Marley board as suggested - as budget allows) with a protective UV oil coating (most people do not like the weathered timber look). You could then wrap this cladding over the existing area of white render across the corner and wrapping the garage also. This would give a very modern look that ties the house together, and given the area of the garage is actually fairly small (once the garage door is discounted) the cost would be minimal. If you are set of replacing the windows, ensure you pain the garage door the same colour. This is a really cheap change but again will help tie all together. However, for the cheapest option, just using white render on the extension, will also work. This negates the requirement to over-clad perfectly serviceable finishes on the rest of the house. N.B. Any changes to the front of the house may require a re-submission to the council for amendments.
