‘’Achieving creativity need not be done at the expense of sustainability or cost effectiveness, which are equally vital’


Modern, robust, easy to mount and available with wooden or aluminium substructures – there is now more versatility and choice than ever before. It’s a really exciting time, as there seems to be a concerted effort to innovate while keeping that cost effective edge. The future trend for the housing sector specifically


will continue to be led by prefabricated solutions with the industry continuing to push the boundaries.


Finding a balance


Creativity does not need to be at the expense of sustainability or cost effectiveness, which are considered equally vital. It’s merely that the focus has shifted, and things seem to be much more in balance. For example, rainscreen is, on the whole, an attractive option


from a pricing perspective, but now it’s also just as attractive visually. It is a versatile, sustainable and impactful solution, and there are seemingly less and less limits when it comes to the potential of today’s rainscreen cladding.
