FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes Fortex Naturale different?
FREEFOAM:“ We know that the look of wood is popular and attractive, but many timber cladding products fade and silver over time. Whilst this is part of natural ageing it is not appealing to everyone. Fortex Naturale offers the opportunity to fit a cladding that looks exactly like wood, that will stay looking like wood, no discoloration or fading.“
What are the benefits of Fortex Naturale for the refurbishment market?
FREEFOAM:“ Fortex Naturale offers an instant transformation opportunity. Ideal to replace existing timber cladding, tired render or out-dated hanging tiles.
We’ ve designed it to make it very easy to fit. Fix to traditional battens and finish with the colour matched trims.”
Can Fortex Naturale be used on any home?
FREEFOAM:“ Fortex Naturale can be fitted to the majority of properties, over brick or render. Use it to replace tired old timber cladding or update existing bland white PVC cladding with a stunning subtle wood finish. The premium V-groove cladding can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.”
