Is that real wood siding on the bottom portion? Does Hardie offer a wood look?

Thank you for your question. Yes, that is real wood on the lower portion of the home. It is called Ipe. Hardie siding is on the upper portion and side elevation shown. Hardie siding is a fiber cement product made to look like wood. There are 25 pre-finished colors available. They are all solid colors, not a stained wood look.

Thanks again. Twin Cities Siding Professionals

I agree deepen the color, don't change it and yes art art art! maybe lessen the presence of the brick with the earlier suggestion of the metal cogs its and use traditional artwork pics/nature/paintings on the painted wall. I also like the idea to paint the part of the wall that juts out in a darker shade of the same color. Now you have lots to consider and lots to dismiss as well. Good luck and have fun

Hi Sinead, though I've not had firsthand experience, I've heard acrylic is a very hard-wearing material for kitchens. I have never seen acrylic in wood effect though - I'd be curious to know more if anyone else has it. I found [this article[(https://www.houzz.ie/magazine/kitchen-planning-how-to-choose-the-perfect-kitchen-cupboards-stsetivw-vs~56113438) on how to choose the perfect kitchen cabinets to be very useful, it weighs up the pros and cons of different materials. Best of luck!

Wood floor?

I disagree. This is standard whitewood T&G flooring. It's generally laid across joists by builders on the first floor of two storey houses as a cheap subfloor ready to take a floor finish. I've seen it sanded and varnished / stained and while it looks OK for a few months, it doesn't wear well as it's a (very) soft wood and is very noisy, particularly in the rooms under. If you want a wood finish without breaking the bank, there are some good laminates that you can lay over the T&G boards. A semi-engineered board would be better but will cost a bit more.

Hi Neerb We currently stock both and there are a couple of things to consider when purchasing.To brake the above down: wooden - more expensive looking less cords but may warp in sunlight Wood may warp but this depends on two main factors, the type of wood used and the humidity in the room. Wood Venetians are mainly manufactured from Bass Wood or Sheerwood. We have been supplying bass and sheer for nearly 10 years now and have yet to have a complaint. There is a cheaper alternative which is raman wood and in my opinion, it is cheaper for a reason, one being it tends to warp quite easily.I don't understand why there are less cords though! Wood will also discolor over time. faux wood - no warping and more durable against sun ( house is south facing ) yet quite plastic look and feel With the faux, it is slowly overtaking wood in terms of sales. This is because alot of homes can suffer from either moisture build up around the windows or high temperatures. Again, depending on the manufacturer, some of them do look quite plastic. Shop around and see what you prefer, but price wise, they should be around the same money. If we can offer any advice please let us know, Regards Dave
