The opportunity
A knockdown-rebuild lets you design the facade from scratch on a known site. That is the moment to specify materials for the next twenty years, not just move-in day.
How to use it
Plan the timber-look elements with the structure: a clad upper level, a battened entry, soffits that carry the same finish. Specifying one woodgrain across cladding, battens and linings keeps ordering simple and the result unified.
Why aluminium suits it
New owners rarely want to inherit a recoating schedule. A non-combustible, no-repaint facade delivers the warm timber look the design wants while keeping the build compliant and the future upkeep close to nil.
