Facades refer to the external design structure that determines the front of a building, more generally, the roof design. Here at Hoek Modular Homes we offer facade designs such as the Standard Gable, Dutch Gable, Split Pitch or Saw Tooth and Hip Roof. When deciding on a roof style it is important to consider your situation and resources. If you are considering solar panels, or want plenty of natural light in your home, then an excellent roof design for this is the Split Pitch or Sawtooth. These roof styles generally contain northern facing windows or slopes, within the roof, allowing in plenty of light and air circulation. The north-facing direction also allows for your solar panels to have direct sunlight throughout the day, no matter where the sun is. If the location that you want to build is reliant on rainwater, then a more appropriate roof design would be the Standard Gable, Dutch Gable or Hip Roof style as the direct slope, angles run-off straight into the side gutters and into a tank.
Often there is a bit of confusion over the differences between external entertaining area options, there are so many! Decks, however, are generally outdoor, raised wooden platforms that can various shaped with more than one level. Patios refer to ground level, concrete or paved areas for entertaining.

There is plenty of variety when it comes to the outside appearance of your home, not just the materials used but how they are used. At Hoek Modular Homes our standard built homes are constructed with Weathertex hardwood timber cladding however, we offer alternative options such as vinyl, feature ply and rendered cladding to really make your new home your own.
Vinyl is a cost-effective and long-lasting exterior cladding. Each panel is filled with a strong foam core, which the panels themselves then interlock creating a layered appearance. This home exterior cladding is great when it comes to being termite resistant, weather resistant and helping to insulate your home.
If you want to enhance a particular section of your home, a feature ply finish adds a natural, decorative appeal to enhance the style of your home.
Rendered cladding is another durable alternative, giving your home a modern look. Layered on top of the foundations, the cladding is hardy and weather resistant, requiring little, if any, maintenance.
