Swish Building Products Light Oak specified on home transformation

Light Oak foiled wood grain cladding from Swish Building Products has been specified on the full-scale renovation of a prestigious property in an exclusive Hertfordshire post code.

The 6,000 sq ft property was originally built as a Swiss chalet style home. Appointed to deliver its wholesale re-design, architects practice Design Team Consultants, specified Light Oak foiled cladding from Swish.

Andrew Hayward, Design Team Consultants, explained: “The property had become really quite dated. Our brief from the owner was to create in a sense, a completely new home from the original footprint.”

The cladding has been used on the main gable at the front of the property, both inside and outside a second gable fronted porch and on gable windows in the roof at the front and rear of the five bedroom home.

Swish Building Products offers a range of foiled fascias and soffits including, Light Oak, Irish Oak, Mahogany, Black and Rosewood. Sitting alongside window board and trims, this includes a full 16mm square fascia and soffit system, offering a perfect match across individual elements of roofline installation work.

Also carrying a full Swish 10-year guarantee, the roofline specialist has reported a growing demand for wood foil and coloured finishes, specified as hard wearing low maintenance alternatives over traditional timber.

Greg Wilde, Swish Building Products: “It’s been an uphill struggle trying to persuade architects that PVC foils can deliver a great long life alternative timber.

“Life time cost savings alongside the A+ material sustainability rating the material has been awarded by the Building Research Establishment, have perhaps supported us in persuading architects and specifiers of the advantages of using PVC and we are now seeing a definite increase in its use in specification.”
