Cladding

Cladding - Decorative Gable End Protection

Cladding are fitted along the sloping edge of a gable roof, providing both protection and a finished appearance to the gable end of your home. They help guard against water ingress, wind damage, and general weathering at the roofline's most exposed point.

In addition to their protective function, cladding also offer a decorative element. They frame the roofline and can be styled to suit either traditional or modern architecture with simple or ornate profiles.

Made from weatherproof UPVC or aluminium, modern cladding is highly durable and require minimal maintenance. They can be colour-matched with soffits and fascias for a consistent look across your entire roofline system.

Replacing worn or damaged cladding is an easy way to maintain the structural integrity and kerb appeal of your property while ensuring the gable ends remain properly protected.
