The client brief was to rejuvenate the tired, wooden cladding exterior of this property with a modern facade that would integrate into the countryside backdrop whilst providing a stylish and modern finish.

We created a galvanized frame, specifically sized for the residential property to embrace the existing structure. We created and installed design details to facilitate the balcony, openings, and canopies. Additionally, we finished with Rockpanel in an Alder shade and completed the voids between them with tophats.

The Rockpanel facade gave the client the opportunity to challenge the boundaries often associated with a cladding home in rural Aberdeenshire, enriching the external design. We kept the stone detailing to create a unique finish, by combining the properties of wood and stone.

A painter was contracted to apply final touches to the balcony and window frames, helping to bring the project together and create an eye-catching contrast to the new cladding exterior.

We took extra precautions to ensure health and safety, as our client was living in the house. The property’s location down a narrow track lined with mature trees also presented challenges with access. However, we completed the project to FASET safety standards within the given 6-week timescale and within budget.

The client had this to say about the project:

“I was surprised to see the KR Group team work in snow, wind and rain, and the quality of the build was up to my standard. I spoke to the team on site most days; there were a few minor issues to deal with, and they were good at informing me, then coming up with a solution. They also kept me informed of how long things would take, and what day supplies would arrive.”
