No one wants to choose between heating and eating, but this year’s record-high energy bills haven’t given many families throughout Essex much choice. So, if you’re looking for energy-saving hacks to heat your home for longer, without adequate insulation, did you know up to 35% of your home’s heat could be escaping through its walls?
If you like the idea of giving your home a facelift whilst improving its energy performance at the same time, cladding could hold the answer.
Does cladding help insulate a house?
Yes! High-performance fibre cement cladding (like ours!) is one of the most efficient cladding options around for households in Essex looking to save more energy and reduce their heating bills. An eye-catching, low-maintenance alternative to uPVC cladding and timber cladding, incorporating cladding is like adding an extra layer of clothing to your home. Modern cladding insulation works by effectively blocking any gaps, cracks, or holes where cold air could be getting inside or allowing warm air to escape.
Is fibre cement cladding a good insulator?
Designed with conserving energy in mind, our Marley Eternit cladding can reach remarkable U-values of just 0.212 W/m2k.
What does the U-value tell you?
The U-value measures how heat is transmitted by the cladding material; the lower the U-value, the more efficient the cladding is. Current building regulations for external wall insulation must not exceed 0.26 W/m2k*, so you can trust in our quality cladding products to fully comply with current and future building regulations.

Why use fibre cement cladding?
Considerably reducing your reliance on costly heating options to keep warm this winter, fibre cement cladding is a popular choice for a variety of reasons, including:

- Offering superior fire protection, our fibre cement cladding has a Class A fire rating for absolute peace of mind in the event of a fire
