When you have a home of your own you want to place your own stamp on it, to define it and separate it from the other homes in your area. Of course, this needs to be done tactfully and in keeping with the local planning regulations.
Fortunately, there are many ways in which you can achieve a stunning design to the exterior of your home; all you need is a little imagination and some professional help.
Clad It
Choosing palliside cladding shows that you recognize this is an Australian product that has been used for centuries. It can be fitted to any shape or size of the house, allowing you to create distinctive shapes and even empty voids to get the design of your dreams.
The palliside cladding is fire resistant and one solid color; with a UV coating; your house will look as good in 20 years as it does today; that’s an important consideration when designing any building.
Glass
Glass has become an increasingly popular choice of façade for many buildings. It lets a huge amount of light into your home, yet modern installations can also offer UV protection and help to insulate your home effectively.
Of course, it will also give you a stunning view of the surrounding area and can even make your house virtually invisible.
Metal Exterior
You can retain the original construction of your home and add a metal exoskeleton. This gives you the opportunity to create a unique structure, add privacy, or even provide extra protection against harsh weather or animals. A great way of doing this is to add a mesh net to the metal exoskeleton, this can protect your home from the sun and small insects while allowing you to use glass and create a building that looks mysterious.
Traditional Wood
Wood has been used to build houses for many years but it is also a popular façade option that can create a stunning home.
You can opt for reclaimed wood and choose a variety of colors, as well as using it both horizontally and vertically. The result is a home that blends into the landscape but also looks fantastic.
It’s also a very effective way of understating your home; avoiding unwanted attention.
Plain Cement
Don’t underestimate the power of cement and a traditional render. This can be created to fit any building, whether you have straight walls or curves. The cement render will allow you to have very clean lines and can be painted a bright white.
This allows your building to stand out but it will look almost like a work of art as the lines are crisp and clean. It’s also surprisingly easy to keep this way.
It doesn’t matter which façade you choose, the important thing is that you select something that fits with your values and creates a home that you’ll be comfortable in for years. The fact that it will become known as an architectural gem is simply a bonus.
