How can I use cladding to increase the value of my home?
Property experts agree, there are several key improvements homeowners can make to add value to their property. But if you don’t have a cellar to turn into a home cinema, the space to massively extend your kitchen or add on a wrap-around conservatory, what are your options?
Enhancing kerb appeal is another potential way of grabbing your home some attention – and extra cash in a sale. And while you could just splash out on a fresh lick of paint, a contemporary makeover with new cladding can turn a jaded, old-fashioned building into a home with wow appeal.
And it’s not just about looks. Cladding offers considerable benefits that will add even more value to your home – particularly important if you’re thinking about re-mortgaging or selling. Read on to find out more.

Buyers want their future home to feel safe and secure. Cedral cladding has a high fire performance classification of A2-s1, d0, one of the best ratings in the industry. Learn more about it here.
As well as being safe in their future homes, buyers want a relaxing retreat from the world. Cedral can help make homes warmer and quieter by adding an extra insulation layer under the cladding to improve the building’s thermal and acoustic insulation. Read more here.
With a growing trend for more sustainable lifestyles and buying ‘green’, Cedral’s eco-friendly credentials are another positive plus point when it comes to adding value to your home. Cedral facades are made of fibre cement, a high-quality material based on Portland cement, sand, chalk and natural fibre. This high-performing composite is made using less raw materials, less energy and less waste than some traditional building products in the market.
Property insiders agree that stand-out factors on a buyers’ wish list include plenty of storage and multi-purpose spaces – and it’s possible to use Cedral’s versatile facades to create both. Find out how you can create a multi-functional room in your garden using Cedral cladding and offer potential buyers an attractive home office or chill-out room, with the benefit of extra storage.
