Thinking about giving your home, garden room or extension a fresh new look? Cedral fibre cement cladding is fast becoming the go-to option across Kent – and with good reason.
At Youngs, we supply the full Cedral Lap and Click ranges, with samples available to view in our Dymchurch, Folkestone and Biddenden branches.
Whether you're cladding a whole house or just a garden office, Cedral offers timber-style looks without the ongoing upkeep.
Why more homeowners and installers are choosing Cedral
Traditional timber cladding can look great to start with, but it needs regular painting, staining and checking for rot – especially in exposed or coastal spots.
Cedral, made from a strong fibre cement blend, gives you that same attractive timber look but without the hassle.
Benefits of Cedral Cladding:
Low maintenance – no peeling paint or rot to deal with
Weather-resistant and breathable
Doesn’t warp, shrink or swell like timber
Available in over 20 pre-coloured finishes
Fire-rated to A2-s1, d0 – for extra peace of mind
Whether you're a homeowner upgrading your exterior, or a builder working on an extension or outbuilding, Cedral’s a solid, long-term solution.
Cedral Lap vs Click – What’s the difference?
Cedral comes in two styles to suit different designs and tastes:
Cedral Lap
Looks like traditional overlapping timber boards
Great for cottages, coastal homes, or anywhere you want a classic finish
Fitted horizontally for that familiar plank-style look
Cedral Click
A tongue-and-groove system for a flat, flush finish
Ideal for modern garden rooms, extensions and contemporary builds
Can be installed vertically or horizontally for a clean, uniform look
Not sure which one to go for? Pop into your local branch and see both styles side by side – it makes the choice much easier.
Cladding that lasts – Without the upkeep
Kent weather can be tough on timber cladding – especially near the coast. Cedral’s built to last, with no need to repaint or re-treat year after year.
That’s why we’re seeing more homeowners from Ashford, Tenterden, Romney Marsh and beyond switch to Cedral cladding in Kent – particularly for:
Home renovations
Garden offices
Porches and extensions
Garage conversions and annexes
