canalsiderenovation Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Cladding mission continues for the underneath of the porch and balcony continues. Has anyone heard of Rockpanel woods? We have Trepsa and Rockpanel samples we are quite taken with either, though I'm still clarifying guarantee and warranty for both. To show how it will look all together we will have a render on the lower half (example from K-rend but considering others), Anthracite RAL7016 windows on the lower half and Anthracite corrugated profile cladding on the upper half as the windows on the upper half are all skylights.... The Trepsa is the top one Rockpanel bottom one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 When I get samples I like to try to scratch them, smack them with a hammer and try snapping / bending and burning with a lighter. It doesn't indicate the effects of the weather, but it can give an indication of robustness. The corrugated stuff looks quite shiny. Will it dull down?

Russell griffiths Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 What sort of price have you been given for the trespa, I thought the bloke was joking when he told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corrugated stuff isn't shiny, it's my camera flash on the phone, Its matt not glossy and plastisol pvc coated from https://www.excelclad.co.uk/excelclad-corrugated-143-169-p.asp You're as bad as me with samples, it's been in the snow this week, left outside in ice too.

If I've got it right the Trepsa was around £80m2 (that's the top one in the pic and the oak effect) the wood on the bottom is the Rockpanel in beech and that was £65 m2. This is just prices from the two companies which sent samples, as we need to come up with some material ideas to submit with planning. I'm just trying to get firm information on warranty/guarantee for both to do a better comparison.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canalsiderenovation Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 We were looking at Accoya which was far more expensive! On the plus the plastisol corrugated sheeting is quite reasonable and this is just for under the balcony and porch thank god, I couldn't do a whole house in it at those prices.... That said we still have the render on the lower half which isn't exactly cheap either, but we will look at alternatives to K-rend etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
