Why Cumbrian Homeowners Choose Freefoam

Built specifically for the British weather, Freefoam UPVC cladding outlasts paint, render and timber by decades — and looks better doing it.

Maintenance-Free

No painting, no varnishing, no re-rendering. A wash with soapy water once a year is all it needs to look brand new.

Weather-Proof

Engineered for UK conditions. Won't rot, warp, crack or fade — even after years of Cumbrian rain, salt air and frost.

50-Year Guarantee

Manufacturer-backed warranties of up to 50 years on Fortex products — fitted to spec by approved installers like us.

Insulation-Friendly

Add external wall insulation behind the cladding for serious energy savings — colder homes become warmer, bills drop.

Common Cladding Questions

The questions homeowners ask us most often about Freefoam UPVC cladding.

How long does cladding last?
Freefoam Fortex products carry manufacturer guarantees of up to 50 years when fitted by an approved installer. In real-world terms, properly installed UPVC cladding typically outlasts the building it's fitted to.
Will cladding stop damp?
Cladding alone doesn't fix existing damp problems — but installed correctly with a vented cavity, it provides a weather-proof outer layer that keeps the wall behind it dry. We'll advise on the right approach during the survey.
Can I add insulation behind the cladding?
Yes — external wall insulation under cladding is one of the most effective energy upgrades you can make to an older property. We'll quote for this as an option if you want to consider it.
How long does installation take?
A typical semi-detached property takes 5–8 working days depending on size and access. Larger properties or commercial buildings vary. We give you a clear timeline up front.
Do I need planning permission?
In most cases UPVC cladding falls under permitted development for domestic properties — but always worth a quick check with the council, especially in conservation areas or for listed buildings. We can advise during the survey.
What colours can I choose?
Freefoam Fortex is available in 30+ colours and woodgrain finishes — popular options include White, Cream, Misty Grey, Anthracite Grey and Black Ash. We'll bring samples to the site survey.
