In the heart of rural Hertfordshire stands Ridgemont, a once-dilapidated country bungalow, now transformed into a stunning, modern five-bedroom self-build. While the renovation respects the area’s traditional architecture, the homeowners have added a fresh, contemporary edge that offers an immediate impression. Central to this transformation are our Cladco Fibre Cement Lap Cladding Boards in Cream, used to create a family home that feels both vibrant and refined.
Our Fibre Cement Lap Cladding Boards feature a realistic woodgrain-effect finish, offering a sophisticated, modern alternative to traditional timber cladding. While they closely replicate the look of natural wood, they come with a host of added benefits, including superior resistance to water, rot, insect damage, and UV exposure, making them as practical as they are beautiful.
To help you achieve the perfect finish worthy of any project, our fibre cement cladding boards are available in eight delicate tones. These include Cream, Blue, Granite, and Sage Green. If you’re seeking even greater creative freedom, we also offer an unpainted option, ready to be finished in the colour of your choice. In the case of Ridgemont, the elegant cream-toned boards enhance the home’s light, natural aesthetic, beautifully reflecting sunlight and accentuating the embossed woodgrain texture in each panel.
While Ridgemont's exterior is clad almost entirely in our cream-toned cladding, it’s the subtle use of contrasting dark elements that elevates the design even further. Accents like black window frames, a bold, contemporary composite front door, black fascia boards, and dark grey natural slate roof tiles create a striking backdrop, allowing our Cladco Fibre Cement Lap Cladding Boards to truly shine and help define Ridgemont’s distinctive character.
The image below perfectly demonstrates how our Cladco Fibre Cement Cladding Trims helped these homeowners achieve a seamless and professional finish. No matter the shape or size of your property, we offer a complete range of accessories, from internal and asymmetric external corner trims to wall end trims and single or double connection trims. Whatever your needs, we have the right solutions to help you create a sleek, polished finish.
Stepping back to take in Ridgemont in its entirety, it’s clear how our cream-toned fibre cement cladding provides endless design possibilities, allowing the homeowners to infuse their home’s façade with even more personality and charm. From the colourful decorative facing bricks that separate the cladding from the ground to the vibrant array of ornamental shrubs—including a pair of stunning Photinia Red Robin plants housed in sleek black plant pots and positioned on either side of the front door—every detail contributes to the home’s distinct appeal.
