Freefoam Building Products showcased a recent installation using its complete range of grey PVC roofline and cladding products.
The property in Leicestershire originally featured a render finish to the entire upper level. It had become patchy and discoloured and either needed replacing or covering. Likewise, the white fascia and black guttering were also in need of updating. The homeowner was introduced to the Freefoam range by local supplier Tru Plastics.
Fitting PVC cladding to the exterior gave the property an instant facelift. The homeowner chose Fortex Pro, a Double Shiplap style board, in ‘Slate Grey’. Adding a woodgrain foil finish fascia and soffit in ‘Anthracite Grey’ and a gutter system in the same shade created a coordinated look. Russell Skellett from Tru Plastics explained: “Being able to offer homeowners a complete suite of products in coordinating and matching colours is a major USP for our company. Our customers are asking more and more for colour and the Freefoam range gives us the perfect solution.”
The company believes that trends are changing for external-building products, particularly doors, windows and roofline. They say that in the past, white was the only colour option and the only choice. But they say that things have changed; developers, architects and specifiers have seen the advantages of using colour as a signature for their building projects and homeowners, inspired by property and home improvement programmes now regularly choose colour as they look to personalise their property.
Freefoam manufacture fascia and soffit in eight shades and eight woodgrain finishes alongside cladding products in ten contemporary shades. Colin St John, UK commercial director, commented: “Our colour range has been developed specifically to enable our customers to win business. It gives them a wide range of options to meet the demands of today’s market place. We have established ourselves as leaders in the manufacture of colour PVC building products and this case study is another example of how Freefoam products are delivering real solutions to customer needs.”
