FAQ
What is the difference between cladding and rendering?
👉 Cladding involves applying external panels (metal, wood, stone, composite, etc.) to protect and decorate a building. Rendering is a coating (cement, acrylic, or silicone) applied directly to walls to give a smooth, weatherproof finish.
Which option is more durable, cladding or rendering?
👉 Both are durable, but cladding generally offers longer life and requires less maintenance. Rendering is cost-effective and gives a modern finish but may need upkeep over time.
Can cladding and rendering improve insulation?
👉 Yes. Both methods can enhance thermal efficiency. Insulated cladding panels provide high energy savings, while insulated render systems help reduce heat loss.
Is planning permission required for cladding or rendering?
👉 In most residential cases, planning permission is not required. However, if your property is in a conservation area or listed building, you may need approval. Always check with your local council.
Does rendering or cladding improve property value?
👉 Absolutely! Both can enhance curb appeal, energy efficiency, and durability—making your property more attractive to buyers.
