Head And Shoulders Above
Plastic guttering is quite literally head and shoulders above you. Also, when compared to the other materials used for guttering, if popularity is anything to go by, plastic guttering is head and shoulders above the alternatives.
This popularity is heavily influenced by the significant cost benefits to using plastic materials. However, the prevalence of plastic guttering, or indeed a plethora of other plastic building materials is not solely cost driven. Plastic is truly a versatile material. The combination of flexibility, durability, light weight, UV resistance and water resistant properties that can be accommodated in a material that can be moulded to almost any design make plastic an incredibly useful material.
When fitting plastic materials such as plastic guttering, the large single pieces that can be manufactured reduce the number of joins and fittings required whilst the light weight and flexibility of the materials ensure that they are easy to handle.

At Bliby Plastics we endeavour to offer you a wide variety of wall cladding solutions to answer any functional need or aesthetic requirement. In particular we are proud to offer a great choice of hygienic wall cladding, in both polypropylene and PVC varieties – confident that even the most stringent requirements of modern industry can be met by the versatility and performance of each of these thoroughly modern materials.
Polypropylene Wall Cladding
If fire resistance isn’t your primary concern, but you have specific hygiene requirements then polypropylene wall cladding represents a great choice, and like all plastic sidings is extremely versatile and available in a wide variety of colours. It is the choice for applications such as in dairies, food storage or preparation areas and agriculture, and will ensure unrivalled hygiene performance throughout its lifespan.
PVC Wall Cladding
If, on the other hand, you need fire resistant wall cladding as well fantastic hygiene performance then your can’t go wrong with PVC wall cladding, which is absolutely ideal for applications such as in commercial kitchens or clean rooms. PVC cladding is also extremely strong and is, like polypropylene cladding available in a wide variety of colours.
At Bliby Plastics we believe that only plastic cladding can truly meet the specific hygiene requirements of modern industry, yet we don’t think that such unrivalled performance should come at a premium, which is why all of our plastic sidings combine great functionality with affordability.
Wall cladding is used in building construction to refer to the layering of one material over another. This is done to protect against the elements (to prevent water or moisture penetrating), or to provide a decorative finish.
While cladding is often used for walls, it can often be found all around the house – plastic cladding is ideal in bathrooms due to its waterproof nature – and around windows too.
Materials traditionally used in the interior of homes, such as wood and brick, have aesthetic benefits over practical ones. Plastic cladding is easy to clean and hygienic, while wood becomes damp when cleaning and brick is difficult to clean. Wood and brick absorb dampness and moisture in a way that plastic does not.
This in-built protection against moisture and natural durability, combined with its easy to clean nature and hygienic elements makes plastic cladding the ideal material for use in many parts of the home (kitchens and bathrooms particularly), as well as hospitals and catering establishments.
Aesthetics do not need to be sacrificed in order to benefit from the practical aspects of plastic cladding. Wall cladding now comes in many designs and colours, meaning you can create an attractive and pleasant environment in your home, which is also easy to clean and care for.
Other benefits of using plastic cladding are cost (it is cheaper than other materials), and while it cannot be recycled, plastic wall cladding does not release toxins in the way that paint does, and requires less energy to process than other materials.

Traditional building materials such as wood and brick have lots of nostalgia value, but their practical benefits are limited – especially in a damp climate where it rains more often than not.
In damp weather, wood absorbs moisture; and a lot of the time you can’t even tell it’s happening until the wood is rotting before your very eyes. Brick is incredibly hard to clean, if not impossible, and does not always keep weather out the way you would like – absorbing moisture like wood.
Plastic wall cladding, layer upon layer of it, provides perfect protection against all types of extreme weather (hot and cold), moisture and dampness. This is so important in all houses, but particularly those which are detached, as they are not benefited from the warmth and protection provided by having another structure right next door. Country cottages are a perfect example of the kind of building that would benefit from plastic wall cladding: remote, detached and have little protection from the elements.
Plastic cladding used in bathrooms and kitchens is particularly effective. Not only are they the rooms in the house which receive the most wear and tear, but these are also the two places where an easy to clean, durable and waterproof surface is most appreciated.
Its cost-effectiveness compared to wood, aluminium and brick also gives plastic cladding the competitive edge over other materials. Installation is cleaner, quicker and easier, and what this means for a homeowner is less mess, stress and tidying up when the builders come out.
There is a time and place to utilise the charm of traditional materials, but plastic cladding beats them hands down when it comes to practicality.
Wall cladding has a whole range of uses, and here at Bliby Plastics we have a great range to suit just about any purpose imaginable. Here’s a quick run through of the types available, including those that we have in stock, to help you decide which one you need.
V-Groove Cladding – V-Groove wall cladding is made of PVC-UE and is ideal for external use given its durability, but can be equally as beneficial when used as an internal decorative facing thanks to its nice, clean finish. This type of cladding is available in both white and various woodgrain colours, and can be used with a whole range of other accessories that we stock here at Bliby Plastics.
10mm Hollow – 10mm Hollow wall cladding can be as wide as necessary thanks to its innovative tongue and groove facility, allowing hidden fixings for a smooth finish. This type of cladding is perfect for porches or similar overhangs thanks to its ability to be used over large areas without showing breaks.
Shiplap Cladding – This type is very similar to V-Groove wall cladding, again being suitable for both external and internal use thanks to it being lightweight, durable and of great design.
These are the broad types of wall cladding that are available. Within those categories come different dimensions and types of cladding as well as related accessories, and with all of them being available in different colours they can be used for any purpose necessary. We stock all of them here at Bliby Plastics, so make sure to have a look to see if we’ve got just what you’re after.
Sourcing the right plastic cladding can often be difficult. You need to know where to look in order to find the right products at the right prices, so where can you go? Here are just a few ideas.
Searching in high street type stores would be a great place to start, particularly if you’re new to the area and need help deciding what you need. By going to a store in person you’ll be able to see the types of plastic, plastic wall and PVC cladding they have to offer there and then, and will usually be able to ask staff for advice if needed.
However, for those that want to shop with convenience, the Internet is often the best place to go. You’ll be able to get great prices for all types of plastic cladding and there is usually a much wider range to choose from than if you went to a high street store – and all without having to waste time getting to the store itself.
If you’re looking for an online store that offers some of the best plastic cladding around, make sure you browse our website to see what we have to offer here at Bliby Plastics. We have a great range of plastic cladding and pride ourselves on offering the best products at the best prices, and for those who prefer offline shopping you can even call into our premises in Kent for that personal service.
So, shopping online would be well worth considering if you want to find the best plastic, PVC or plastic wall cladding. If you want to ensure that you’re getting the best, take a look at our extensive product range here at Bliby Plastics and we’re sure that you won’t be disappointed.
