I have moved into a house which has a rather unusual design, it has a gable end which is clad in lead flashing. Over the years the lead has discoloured and become wrinkled. I would like to clad instead with dark wood or uPVC.
My question is this: quite a few recently built houses have gables clad with dark tongued and groove material. Is this generally wood or uPVC?
Is dark woodgrain uPVC a bad idea re. discolouration, expansion etc? Is hardwood a better idea? This is a South facing roof, plenty of sun.
Thanks
Andy
