External cladding for your garden office building
External cladding is a building material that’s used on the outside of your building to protect it from the elements. It’s usually made from wood, metal, or plastic, and can be installed in various ways:
- Wood cladding is often chosen for garden office buildings as it can be painted or stained to achieve a wide range of different looks.
- Metal cladding can also be painted or stained to achieve different colours, but aluminium is more forgiving than steel when it comes to dents and scratches.
Conclusion
The materials used for cladding are often chosen based on their longevity, cost, and availability. Whilst there are many other options available, these three have proven themselves time and time again as the best external cladding options in our opinion.
