New estate near me. Have a look at;
The horizontal cladding is uPVC.
The green vertical cladding is 9mm ply with 3" x 3" PAR softwood screwed on (screw heads exposed), then painted.
Can't imagine what that will look like in 10 years time, or how long it will take to rub down & re paint?
The huge triangular windows are not mirrored glass & you can see into the master bedroom from outside. Heaven knows what bespoke blinds for those will cost.
