Cladding for £10 per sqm required.

[Ferdinand]

Can anyone suggest attractive types of cladding which will come in at £10 per sqm or thereabouts for the material and any trims etc

 

It is cladding for an outbuilding attached to the house, and needs to be:

 

1 Reasonably attractive.

2 Essentially Maintenance free.

3 Available coloured. ideally terracotta, dark brown or blue, or grey etc.

4 My support posts are at 1.8m centres, so if it could span this it would be good, but I can put intermediate support in if needed.

5 Ideally able to be acceptable on the inside too - the space is an enclosed walkway and needs no insulation etc.

 

Options I am aware of are

 

A Plastisol coated corrugated. About £10 per sqm.

B Decking boards - wood. About £8-10 per sqm. Hackneyed theme now.

C White plastic ship lap. About £6 per sqm in 5m x 300mm sections. Coloured is at least double or treble the price.

 

I would like to think about plastic decking boards etc, but none of those come near on price.

 

Any comments welcome.

"C White plastic ship lap. About £6 per sqm "

 

That seems to be a good price. Most places I looked were more like £8-10 per sqm.

YOu have got me there. I meant hollow clad. Sorry. So that looks like horizontal planks.

 

And the price for 300mm x 5m is 7.92 inc VAT, which is just over 6.00 per sqm.

 

Is that a good price?
