which cladding colour would you choose ?

Hi members,

If you were to add vinyl cladding to this house, which of the four colours would you choose ?
Ash , Bone white, Sandal wood or Satin Grey ?

 

I like bone white.

 

Satin Grey looks good,the Bone White may be a problem with mould ect over time ..imho..

 

Same as adding the veranda, it is what the wife desires the property to look like
Bone white, charcole roof, door, window frames, trim

 

I would consider a textured coating. Its already rendered and looks very plain. Sills gutters etc could use a complementing colour

 

We have decided to permanently convert this into our ppor. Incorporating all the useful suggestions from the other thread , plus thinking that cladding might enhance insulation and street appeal. Attached is the cladding design we like, but my family can't decide on the colour. I chose sandalwood. Wife chose Ash. Son #1 chose bone white. Son #2 chose satin grey.

 

Is the cladding actually insulated (i.e. does it have an R-value?).

Or is the insulation created because the cladding creates an air gap against the existing external wall?

 

Should have made it a poll
Son #1 is the smart one

 

gee. I knew nothing about R-value. Was told by salesperson that this vinyl cladding is easy maintenance, safe, insulated ... and my family likes the look. Gotta ask my wife to find out more. She's been looking into turning the duckling into swan. I let her explore, but set the condition that victorian/heritage style front porch is out of bounds

 

what can I say. A chip off the old block

 

Melbourne gets cold and insulation is a good thing.

What brand is the cladding?

 

it's Mitten Vinyl

I think bone white goes best with your current roof colour. The other colours might clash with it

 

The use of ‘siding’ in the title suggests it’s an American article...

Here are a couple of screen shots from the website about fire-related properties of the insulplank cladding:

 

Hi Wylie, I know you mean well so it's alright being harsh on me
I'm not trying to turn that house into something it is not. I'm only trying to turn it into something my family likes. My parents like this cladding design too and they would make my place their 2nd home.
This house was bought because it's close to my parents', only 2 minutes' drive away. All along it's meant to be my ppor when we return. Won't be renting it out again. It had taken me lots of pain to evict the nightmare tenant so I won't subject myself to the mercy of the unfair covid rulings.
