Polyurethane Mock Tudor Boards vs Real Wood
When choosing Tudor boards for your next home renovation, it can be easy to assume that wood would be the best fit for the design. However, when compared to polyurethane mock Tudor boards, polyurethane offers longer lasting quality.
Advantages of Polyurethane Mock Tudor Boards
Polyurethane mock Tudor boards are a worthwhile investment when renovating your property. Despite not being the authentic material, it can still offer a natural looking appearance when manufactured in house using custom moulds and a team who can work grains into the polyurethane for a real wood aesthetic.
As a hard wearing and durable material, polyurethane offers long lasting quality when used on home projects. This allows polyurethane mock Tudor boards to withstand the weather and require minimal maintenance, making them an easy and cost-effective material choice.
Choosing a Design for Your Mock Tudor Boards
When planning your new home design featuring mock Tudor boards, you also need to consider colours and sizes. RAL colours are available, in black and a range of brown shades, which you can choose to match your brickwork, render, door and window frames and garden.
Curved Tudor boards are also a possibility to fill in empty spaces in your design which don’t necessarily fit a right angle.
Disadvantages of Real Wood Tudor Boards
The lack of resistance against extreme weather conditions makes wood incomparable to polyurethane mock Tudor boards. When wood is cut from a tree, the wood cells which were once filled with water will eventually dry out and shrink. When this same piece of wood is exposed to rain again, the cells will reabsorb the water, causing the material to swell and then shrink when exposed to heat. This can lead to curls, warps, cracks and separation in the wood.
Therefore, choosing polyurethane as your choice of material for your new Tudor boards can mean a longer lasting and lower maintenance design. If you have any questions about using polyurethane in your home design, your Tudor boards supplier should be able to help.
