Roofing cladding can be made from materials such as concrete, slate, terracotta, asphalt and metal. Wall cladding can be made from timber, MDF or PVCu. Cladding can be used to cover damaged areas or to provide a decorative effect. There are three finishes available for wall cladding, these include untreated, primed and fully finished. Untreated means that the cladding can be painted, varnished or stained. Primed cladding is ready to be painted and fully finished cladding has already been painted.
