The modern looks have resulted in the development of products that facilitate the realisation of your clients' vision. From the increased demand for the Hamptons look to match our coast location to a Scandi Barn look which allows for the seamless transition from traditional to modern building materials, the evolution of your client's design preferences demand for products that can be easily installed without sacrificing looks and performance.
In the past, cladding was commonly installed horizontally, as seen in weatherboard cottages and villas. However, positioning the cladding vertically offers a chance to emphasise architectural features, enhance the appearance of rooflines, and introduce a distinctive element to a home's outer surface.
One of the most significant advantages of vertical cladding is that it makes a bold statement. The vertical orientation of the cladding adds a unique visual element to the building's exterior, drawing attention to its design. This approach can be particularly effective when combined with other materials, such as brick, stone, or timber, to create a striking and modern aesthetic. Be it a natural timber or painted look, vertical cladding will help create the “wow” for your client’s home.
Another advantage of vertical cladding is that it creates a sense of depth and interest due to the grooves and lines that are formed as the panels are installed. This effect adds texture and visual intrigue to the building's exterior, which can be particularly effective when used to accentuate specific architectural features.
Vertical cladding is also a great option as it can match well with other materials. This makes it easy to create a cohesive design aesthetic that works well with a range of materials, colours and styles. Whether it is paired with natural wood tones or modern metallic finishes, vertical cladding can be easily integrated into the overall design scheme of the building.
Finally, vertical cladding can also exaggerate the height and rooflines of a building. By using long, vertical panels, it is possible to create an illusion of height that draws the eye upwards, making the building appear taller and more impressive. This effect can be particularly effective in homes with lofty ceilings or with a roofline that has distinctive angles or curves.
Vertical cladding to create modern looks
Vertical cladding designs best match the Mixed Materials, Boxed Modern and Scandi Barn modern designs. These modern looks are easily achieved by the mix and match of different cladding materials and vertical lines will help draw eyes to feature walls.
