We purchased a new house a few months ago, and are thinking how we can improve the outside of it. The windows are perfectly fine so we don’t want to replace them (although may consider getting them wrapped or painted to grey).
The worst part is the rough rendering. I’ve taking a picture of it but it doesn’t to it justice to how awful it actually is - like a soupy yellow. I hate it.
So of course, rendering or cladding have come to mind. I don’t particularly like the look of brick, and I do love the monochrome grey/white look (I understand that this will soon the outdated, but I’ve always found it very calming, and this is our forever home, so we are making choices based on what we like, not what the next buyer will). I think we would have either all rendering in white (but then would need to paint the windows) or downstairs rendered and upstairs cladded in pale grey.
Has anyone experience in considering both cladding and rendering, and has decided to go for one or the other? How did it work out? Any other ideas?
