What is the best facade cladding in 2022

In this post we will talk about the 3 most used types of facade cladding. We will compare the advantages and characteristics that each one has and we will look at some specific examples to find out which are the cheapest prices.

Although almost all the models are focused on a rustic style or stone effect, there are 3 types of materials mainly , which in addition to being different for its resistance or adaptability to the outside, will also influence the final appearance of our facades.

TILES FOR FACADES

The manufacturers of Tiles are getting better finishes for their models. For this reason and for the advantages that we will mention below, tiles will be a great option to use as cladding for facades.

The tiles or porcelain are glazed materials and the absorption of external agents is practically nil. This means that the appearance of the tile will not change during its useful life.

Another advantage of glazed tiles and porcelain is that they will hardly stain, and if they do, cleaning will be relatively easy.

The tiles, on the other hand, are very resistant materials. These can be placed in almost any geographical area as they will withstand extreme weather conditions, such as severe frosts or temperatures as low as -15º.

No less important is the price of the tiles. Although we will find a wide range of prices depending on brands, formats or finishes, in general terms it will be the most economical option for cladding facades...

...Finding quality tiles in 2022 by about 12 euros per m2.

If we have to put a but, it would be the design. Although, as we said at the beginning, most of the imitations achieved by tiles are extremely successful, we would have to go to a fairly high range but achieve a real stone appearance.

CONCRETE COATINGS

Verniprens is one of the concrete brands with the widest variety of products. Among them we find a wide range of models for interior and exterior wall cladding.

These are stone effect models with a very real finish, usually somewhat better than that of tiles.

In the price range, and only as a general rule, it would be somewhat higher than the price of outdoor tiles. Among the three types of materials that we are comparing, we would place concrete in the middle in terms of cost.

Lastly, it is no less important to note that it is a porous material. This means that its finish may change over time.

One of the most liked Verniprens models is the Salamanca wall tile, available in various sizes.

NATURAL STONE

As its name suggests, this material is undoubtedly the ideal one if what we want is to get as close as possible to a totally real stone appearance. 

Natural stone is It is usually chosen as the best façade cladding for cold towns, mountain houses, rural environments, etc...

There are different types of natural stone for façades, both in colours, sizes and even shapes. .

...Normally what stands out about the stones is their irregular shape, detonated design and warm appearance.

It is important to bear in mind that these materials come directly from the quarries. They are not made mechanically and of course they do not have any type of enamel or other chemical agent that conditions their appearance. Which means that depending on the stones extracted from the quarry, the finish may be far from the images you find in tile and construction material stores.

It would be convenient to request real images before confirming your purchase.

Finally, it should be noted that the price of natural stone is usually the most expensive compared to the materials described in our post
