SHERA Plank as Contemporary Exterior Cladding

Fri, 13 Oct 2023 08:39:06 +0000

SHERA Plank can be used on Contemporary AND Traditional Exterior Siding Applications

SHERA Plank can be used in modern as well as traditional exterior facades.

The project below was done in Lithuania and the new housing estate was supplied with SHERA Plank from our Authorised Stockist JSC Paladija.

You can see the planks used are the 'traditional' square cut edge planks installed in the overlapping style, but they are used on a modern house design along side dark grey coloured slate/block like facade which gives a striking effect.

We think this is a fine example of how SHERA Plank can be used for striking aesthetic designs on both modern and traditional housing desisns.

SHERA Versatility - Multiple Products on One Project

Fri, 14 Jul 2023 16:00:03 +0000

Case Study of SHERA Product Versatility

This is a really great project and an example of the versatility of the full range of SHERA products.

The building is a private house/villa, in a beautiful location overlooking the ocean in Cyprus.

Exterior Walls

Starting from the exterior walls, two types of SHERA board were used.

Exterior Rendered Wall, Using SHERA Board 12 mm

On the rendered wall, a standard fibre mesh was used to cover the entire boards exterior, followed by MAPEI coloured render material, which was applied over the mesh as per the standard installation method, giving a perfect coloured rendered finish with no blemishes.

If you look closely you can see expansion joints have been included during the construction process to cater for normal building movement, as per the standard SHERA Board installation process for 'seamless look' exterior wall applications.

Exterior Wall with a Modern, Concrete Look, Using SHERA Board 15mm

SHERA Board 15mm thickness, frequently used as a floor board, was in this case used for the exterior wall, and was left with a concrete look, for a really modern, striking visual effect.

Below you can see the SHERA Board with concrete look extending around the lower exterior floor wall to the side of the patio, which contrasts really well with the dark stone effect patio floor tiles.

Interior Decorative Wall

Interior Decorative Wall, using SHERA Deline Shiplap Plank

The interior wall around the enclosed fireplace has been clad with our latest modern looking plank range, SHERA Deline, which has then been painted in a dark anthracite colour. We think you will agree it looks great!

You can see how SHERA Board with concrete effect has also been continued from the exterior into the interior wall too, and we think the contrast in the colours of the downstairs interior walls, which combine a concrete look and anthracite dark colouring is a really great combination; especially when you cap all that off with a white floor and ceiling finish.

Garden Fencing

Plot & Garden Fencing Using SHERA Fence

The perimeter of the house plot is fenced using SHERA Fence with steel fence posts, all painted in a white finish.

You can see below how SHERA Fence is installed using steel posts and the shot below shows both sides of the fence: from the perspective of the house owner looking out - smooth fencing, no posts; and from the perspective of outside the house, where the fence posts are installed neatly and painted white to blend with the fence.

Here's a shot from another perspective, where you can see SHERA Fence around the perimeter of the house, viewed from inside the plot, on the rear patio area.

SHERA - A Diverse Range of Building Products

As you can see from the above case study SHERA offer a wide range of building products, which are highly versatile.

We are confident there is a SHERA product for pretty much any area of your residential project!

SHERA Planks in Extreme Weather Conditions

SHERA Plank is a fibre cement plank, which is produced from cellulose fibres and cement, which is cured under extreme heat and pressure. The result: a very tough fibre cement product that can be used for exterior siding application in a wide variety of environmental locations and weather conditions.

This particular example shows SHERA Plank in teak surface profile that was installed in a vertical style as opposed to the more 'normal' style being horizontal, overlapping style; and the planks in this case were painted locally.

SHERA Planks come in a variety of colours (refer to this link for details), but also in uncoloured format that allows local painting in colours of local preference.

SHERA Plank is tested to EN12467 standards which included 'durability' testing such as freeze and thaw testing.

Multiple SHERA Products in Villa Project

This case study shows how versatile SHERA Products really are!

SHERA Boards have been used for the exterior wall in a seamless stucco look.

SHERA Deline Modern Looking Siding

Fri, 09 Sep 2022 09:59:55 +0000

Exterior Siding on Housing Using SHERA Deline Shiplap Plank

The Deline Plank shown is the DL – 12 profile with straight grain surface texture with a wood stain colour applied on site.

We think you will agree it looks fantastic and gives the house a superb modern look with a striking combination of exterior facade materials and colours.

SHERA Deline comes in a size of 10mm thickness by 220mm width and 3000mm length, giving that extra bit of strength over 8mm planks.

All sizes are available in either smooth or straight grain profile.

Deline planks are currently uncoloured but can be painted prior to installation or on site with any water based acrylic paint.

SHERA Plank Now Comes in Modern Grey

SHERA Plank is now available in a new colour: Modern Grey.

This latest colour is a striking new colour to add to the extensive range of colours already available for one of SHERA's core products.

As its name suggests the Modern Grey colour gives that modern look and feel to any exterior siding application.

Exterior Siding in Slovakia Using SHERA Plank

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 15:01:01 +0000

Modern Look Exterior House Siding Using SHERA Plank

The following images are of exterior siding application on a housing complex in Slovakia.

The project uses our popular square cut edge, teak profile, painted plank.

As you can see it provides a really striking finish contrasting a traditional wooden plank look with the planks installed in the vertical style, popular in Slovakia, combined with modern architectural design for the other elements of the house.

The exterior wall can also utilise SHERA Boards which are the perfect exterior wall board allowing render or facade applications using artifical stone.

The project is currently in the latter stages of development and when complete the estate will consist of 8 houses in this unique style, adding a very nice project to a versatile project portfolio for SHERA fibre cement building materials.

SHERA Used in Modular Housing in Spain

Tue, 30 Jun 2020 10:19:42 +0000

SHERA Plank on Modular Housing Siding

We like these images from our customer Eurocyd in Spain, an authorised SHERA Stockist based near Barcelona, who has supplied SHERA Plank to be used as exterior siding in a modular housing project in Spain.

The planks in this case were teak surface profile and were painted locally by Eurocyd in the colour of choice for the project.

The result is a striking and attractive exterior siding application material that gives a unique look to you modular home.

We think you will agree the result is impressive and SHERA plank makes a perfect material for use in exterior siding spplications.
