" They don ’ t need regular repainting and won ’ t rot , rust , warp or crack ."
We love the fact we can just wash it down when needed . We wanted the exterior to be easy to look after , have the wow factor and last a lifetime .”
Finding the right location for their new-build project was also very important to the story ’ s success .
“ It ’ s an amazing plot that we fell in love with . It ’ s just on the outskirts of Cowbridge , so it ’ s walking distance to the town but with incredible views over the countryside – a dream location for a dream home .”
Flush-fitting Cedral Click in C01 White provided Natalie with the look she dreamed of . Plus , its hardwearing , lowmaintenance finish made it perfect for use in Wales , where the climate can often be damp and wet .
Ideal then that Cedral facades are manufactured from durable fibre cement to withstand the harshest weather conditions and have a minimum life expectancy of 50 years . They don ’ t need regular repainting and won ’ t rot , rust , warp or crack .
“ I love those New England clapboard houses , but they ’ re mainly built from wood ,” says Natalie . “ Using Cedral allowed us to get the look but without the need for high maintenance or regular repainting .
With the aim of making their new house feel like a holiday home – “ to have that feeling you ’ re always in a special place ,” Natalie adds – the Davies created a space for seamless indoor-outdoor living , with light-filled interiors , large verandas , an external kitchen and a fire pit .
“ It ’ s more than just a house to us – it ’ s everything ,” says Natalie . “ For this I would recommend Cedral 100 per cent .”
