Spot the stone cladded house……..Take a stroll down most city streets in the UK, cast your eyes on the facades and you will see some fairly unusual wall finishes. A few of the houses will stand out like “sore thumbs”. Some properties will blend into the background, luckily many homeowners resisted the temptation of a pebble dash or stone cladding makeover, managing  to retain their lovely brickwork

But some of the houses will be sporting some rather unusual designs on their facades: Stone cladding in crazy paving designs. Yellow coloured stone cladding with a fleck of pink here & there. Lower sections of walls may be cladded in yellow in imitation stone, sometimes the top sections have a textured stippled bark effect paint finish. Incorporating some inset features of cladding such as soldier courses above windows and castle-quoin work to divide off next doors.

Home Improvement trends: During the early 1980’s it wasn’t just the double glazing firms that were busy changing the looks of period houses. Taking out the old wooden sash windows and replacing them with aluminium units, (which have themselves now been replaced with PVC-u frames)

Out went the beautiful cast iron fire surrounds, the original cornices and ornate ceiling roses and in came the gas fires, artex and the polystyrene ceiling tiles.

Stone cladding firms sprung up all over the place

Encouraged by persuasive direct-sales people, many homeowners unwittingly bought into the idea of covering up perfectly good brickwork. Believing that in a few days’ time they would be transforming their Edwardian mid terrace house into their very own honey-coloured Cotswold cottage.

Of course, fashion and vogues change with time and home improvements are no exception to this rule. The current must-have home improvement trends such as anthracite coloured PVC-u windows, Bi-folding doors, resin driveways, will all be history in a few years time. In the current exterior wall improvement market, it’s in with the grey smooth render 

But what about the houses that have kept their original brick or stone facades? They will just keep getting better, ageing gracefully with time. With a little bit of re-pointing here and there, they will still look good for many more years to come, if looked after they should last the test of time,  that’s how they were built!
