Can customers see new cladding on a home that already has brick?

Yes. They start from a photo of the existing home, and the roof, windows and brickwork that stay remain in view. They can try a full reclad, an upper level or a feature wall.

What if the house isn’t built yet?

Customers start from a builder’s facade image or an agreed reference scene, and compare cladding, roof and window colours together on the same elevation.

Will customers see other brands?

No. They see only the profiles, textures and colours you sell, with the combination rules you set.

Does it show prices to homeowners?

Only if you want it to. It can show prices from your price lists, or lead to the next step you choose, such as a sample, a builder or a stockist, with indicative quantities for your team to check.

Cladding &facades

Help customers choose cladding in the context of their own project.

The choice is the whole facade

A profile, texture or colour is hard to judge in isolation. Its effect depends on the scale of the wall, the proportions of the building and the materials around it.

Where the decision gets stuck

Homeowners. A full reclad, a feature wall and an extension raise different questions about what should change and what should stay.

Builders. A new build lets the exterior palette be considered together, while a reclad has to work with an existing roof, windows and brickwork.

Architects and specifiers. Profile depth, board direction, joint patterns and the balance between materials need to read as part of the elevation.

Dealers. A small sample is hard to explain across a whole wall when the customer’s project is outside the showroom.

Your brand. The aim is to be specified by name, with homeowners able to tell their builder exactly which product they want. Each unresolved choice becomes another sample, another showroom visit or another conversation to restart. When the chosen profile and finish become unclear between design and procurement, an alternative product can enter the conversation.

From first look to order

From first look to order: inspiration, visualise, compare, sample, specify, quantify, quote, order. Visualiser covers visualise to sample, Planner covers specify and Quantities covers quantify to quote.

Recladding starts from the house as it is. Customers want to see their own home, with its roofline, windows and brickwork, in a new profile and colour before they commit.
