Every year one of the most popular elements of the Ideal Home Show at Olympia is the full size show homes. Visitors to this year’s show were treated to two stunning properties, both featuring FreefoamFortex cladding. Pale Gold Double Shiplap cladding formed the exterior finish of a three apartment structure designed to reflect the three stages in life, first time buyer, family home and downsizing. Visitors were invited to ‘climb the property ladder’ apartments to navigate first-hand the design and practical challenges faced by designers and city dwellers alike. Pale Blue Weatherboard cladding was used to great effect on the second show home. A traditional cottage with a contemporary twist designed to appeal to metropolitan families relocating to the countryside. The house featured a beautiful thatch roof and timber cladding with the lower level also clad with ultra hard-wearing, low maintenance Freefoam Fortex PVC cladding. Freefoam Marketing Manager, Louise Sanderson commented “ With over 20,000 visitors each day we were really pleased to have the Freefoam cladding range exposed to such a large, engaged homeowner audience. Available in a choice of eight subtle colours the range has been developed specifically for both renovation and new build projects, the perfect product to create an ‘Ideal Home!”
