Choose cladding that meets the construction standards and municipal bylaws in effect in your area.
Construction codes and city planning rules provide guidelines for renovation projects, from safety rules to esthetic choices. Make sure your project follows these rules, or the municipality may demand that the new cladding be removed, generating needless waste.
Our recommendations :
-
Many municipalities regulate the use of exterior cladding materials for homes. For example, a certain percentage of brickwork may be required on the façade or on the entire building surface.
-
If you live in a heritage home, specific rules may apply to your entire renovation project or to certain aspects, such as the cornices.
