Painting Your Cladding
Cladding is often made of wood, though occasionally it can be plastic. Sometimes cladding has a naturally appealing look, but more often than not, it needs some attention to make it look neat and polished! Fortunately, you can easily tackle this yourself. By adding a splash of colour to your cladding, you can transform its appearance while adding a personal touch.

The Benefits of Painted Cladding
Painting your cladding offers multiple advantages, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. First, painted cladding can greatly enhance the overall look of your home. With a variety of colours and finishes at your disposal, you can create a unique, personalised style that complements your home’s architecture.
Second, painted cladding provides an additional layer of protection against the elements. It shields your cladding from harmful UV rays, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, extending its lifespan significantly.
Third, painting your cladding can also improve your home’s energy efficiency. Light-coloured paints help reflect heat, keeping your home cooler during the summer months. Lastly, painted cladding boosts your home’s value. A well-maintained and attractively painted exterior can make a great first impression, attracting potential buyers and potentially increasing the selling price. Simply put, painting your cladding is an investment that enhances both the beauty and functionality of your home.

How to Paint Your Cladding
Giving your home’s cladding a fresh coat of paint can dramatically enhance its appearance. With the right preparation and materials, it’s a task you can confidently tackle yourself. Follow this step-by-step guide to paint your cladding for a clean and polished look that lasts for years to come.
Step-by-Step Guide to Painting Cladding
- Preparation: Start by cleaning the cladding thoroughly. Remove dirt, moss, and any loose paint. A clean surface ensures the new paint adheres properly.
- Sanding: Lightly sand the cladding using medium-grit sandpaper. This will roughen the surface, making it easier for the paint to stick.
- Apply Primer: Apply a layer of primer to promote better adhesion of the topcoat. Allow the primer to dry completely.
- Masking: Use painter’s tape to mask off windows, doors, and any other areas you don’t want painted.
- Painting: Apply the first coat of paint. Use high-quality exterior paint and a suitable brush or roller. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
- Second Coat: Check the coverage of the first layer. If necessary, apply a second coat for a uniform finish. If the first coat has good coverage, simply add another layer for durability.
- Finishing Touches: Remove the painter’s tape carefully and clean up any minor errors with a damp cloth.
