External wall finishes designed to suit your home

The finish you choose plays a major part in how naturally your new extension blends with the existing property. Strata offers a range of external wall finishes, including brick-effect, cladding and rendered house extensions, so you can create a look that complements both traditional and contemporary homes.

Each finish is designed to work with the hup! building system, giving you flexibility over the appearance of your extension without compromising on thermal performance, durability or build efficiency.

Understanding brick slips

Brick slips are a popular choice for hup! external wall finishes, providing the appearance of traditional brickwork without the same weight, depth or installation requirements. Made from thin sections of real or replica brick, they offer a practical way to achieve a classic finish while keeping the extension system lightweight and efficient.

Rendered house extensions

Silicone render combines silicone resin and cement to create a smooth, modern finish for hup! walls. It is a popular option for rendered house extensions, offering a low-maintenance exterior with good resistance to staining and algae growth, helping the finish stay cleaner and look newer for longer.

Timber cladding & cement board

For a modern or contemporary finish, Strata offers a choice of timber cladding and cement board options for your hup! extension. Use a single finish across the whole exterior or combine different external wall finishes to create a more distinctive look that complements your home and suits your preferred style.
