In this guide, NeoTimber® explores how to renew your home’s exterior and improve your kerb appeal in one fell swoop.

Whether you’re looking for TLC tips or are interested in learning more about how composite cladding can transform your home, we’re on-hand to provide inspiration, advice, and information that’s bound to make a difference. Become your neighbourhood’s most enigmatic trendsetter just in time for spring.

You know what they say – first impressions are everything. So, when you have people passing your home and seeing outdated timber that’s barely clinging onto the exterior, you can only imagine the opinions they’re forming. It’s out of our control; our homes are a reflection of us, no matter which way we look at it. Homes that look worn out, faded, or damaged just aren’t attractive, whether you’re appealing to friends, family, neighbours, or even potential buyers.

This is why kerb appeal is so important. You can’t have your property looking worse for wear and expect people to think it’s an attractive neighbourhood addition. This is where composite cladding comes in. Capable of fixing damage, protecting the home, and amplifying your exterior’s aesthetics, composite cladding is a great, eco-friendly alternative that’ll help you stand out in all the best ways.

To begin, we recommend taking the time to carefully assess how winter has impacted the exterior of your home. Is there any damage, weathering, or fading? Perhaps moisture damage has appeared thanks to the UK’s notoriously horrendous winter weather. Basically, you have to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. That way, if you decide to clad your home, you can enter the composite cladding race before spring even starts. All in all, evaluating your exterior is an essential step to take once the worst of winter has passed.

Right, so, you’ve decided that you do need to invest in some cladding. Well, we all know how wood looks after extended periods of time. It loses its lustre, warps under the slightest of strain, and may even begin rotting in extreme conditions. Composite cladding is NeoTimber®’s way of preventing all of these issues. More than just a pretty addition to a home’s exterior, our composite cladding replicates the look and feel of wood, without any of the drawbacks. This is achieved by blending timber fibres with recycled plastic to create a robust composite that’s fit to defend your property from the elements.

However, each product has its own elements to consider. While our classic composite is a first generation product that balances resilience with affordability, our capped deluxe and slatted alternatives boast a protective UV coating and stylish embossed woodgrain effect. If our detailed information page doesn’t give you everything you need to know, our team will gladly guide you. From free sample packs to expert advice, NeoTimber® has you covered from the moment you consider us for your composite cladding needs.

Whether you’re in the mood for a dark and mysterious mix-up or have your heart set on an easy breezy exterior, we have a collection of colours to choose from. Say, for instance, you’ve seen how other homeowners have transformed their humble home into a modern oasis. Replicating this yourself is no trouble with NeoTimber®’s Charcoal, Grey, and Ash White cladding boards. On the flipside, bringing some understated brightness to your home is just as simple. Coming in a variety of natural wood tones – namely Oak, Teak, Antique, Chocolate, and Silver Birch – our composite cladding can do whatever you want it to.

What’s more, NeoTimber® provides a choice of composite cladding styles to achieve all sorts of effects, giving you the chance to really play around with your imagination. Coming in our first generation classic composite, our capped deluxe range, and our Scandanavian-inspired slatted selection, our composite cladding blows traditional timber out of the water. Truly, our cladding offers a versatility that’s perfectly suited to any springtime restoration project.

Short answer? Absolutely. Long answer? We have a network of talented installers who are not just masters of handling our products, but are also set on making your life easier. Sure, there’s nothing stopping you from mounting our composite cladding on your own – we actually designed the installation process to be as accessible as possible. That being said, composite cladding has nuances that need to be considered. Basically, composite cladding is slightly sensitive to temperature changes, requiring you to prioritise spacing and mindful installation.

Thankfully, our trusted installers are well aware of composite cladding’s quirks and excel at ensuring they never cause an issue for you. By all means take a crack at it yourself if you’re wanting to shape the entire project with your own hands. However, if you’re in any way worried that you’re not fully qualified, reach out to us and we’ll put you in touch with an installer who’ll take the weight off your shoulders.

Once your cladding is up and your house is looking better than new, you can really get stuck into decorating in time for spring. One thing you can do to really boost the springtime vibes of your home is compliment seasonal flowers with your newly installed composite cladding. There’s a huge selection of plants to choose from, and each are bound to draw all of the right attention to your newly-mounted cladding. After all, we all want eyes on us, and even little touches like this can make the world of difference.

Whether you make use of composite planters or the ground beneath your feet, colourful flowers capture the feeling of new beginnings. And what is spring if not a season all about starting fresh?
