AAC WORLDWIDE %u2022 2.2025 PROJECTS 101 Credit/Photographer: The Palm CoThe look of HebelOne of the key advantages of Hebel is the finish it offers, Mark says, especially as a base for render.%u201cThe finish has a great texture,%u201d he says. %u201cIt%u2019s not super smooth, so when you are building custom houses %u2013 even Hamptons-style designs %u2013 it looks so much nicer.%u201d%u201cWe%u2019re able to design some great homes %u2013 both standard homes and even custom homes %u2013 using Hebel as a base material.%u201dWhen it comes to achieving a decorative profile on house fa%u00e7ades, Mark favours Hebel%u2019s Designer Range, using Hebel PowerProfile to replicate the look of a traditional metal standing seam.For the Spice House, a modern residential project with a dynamic mixed-material fa%u00e7ade, he used Hebel PowerProfile on the second story to achieve contrast and highlight the cantilevered architecture.%u201cHebel PowerProfile added striking interest to the front of the home painted in Monument which really appealed to a large group of buyers,%u201d he says.Mark King loves the look and feel of Hebel so much he even specified it for his own home. %u201cAs a builder, we love working with this product for its high-quality finish and straightforward installation. With Hebel, the walls go up quicker than bricklaying. %u201cIt%u2019s a little bit less messy as well; it%u2019s a cleaner installation process.%u201dInstalling HebelWhen it comes to unlocking the benefits of Hebel on site, Mark says having experienced trades on board makes all the difference.%u201cWe have a good contractor base,%u201d he says. %u201cWe only use two companies to install our Hebel. They%u2019re trusted and they%u2019ve been with us for a while. We want to make sure they%u2019re doing the right thing by our customers.%u201dAfter so many applications for residential projects, he does have a couple of tips for installing Hebel quickly and effectively.%u201cYou definitely have to ensure you have your expansion joints where your windows are,%u201d he says. %u201cMake sure there is a visible gap prior to render and just make sure it%u2019s installed correctly. If I%u2019m talking to another builder, I also suggest they look at Hebel%u2019s installation guide and follow it closely.%u201dCredit/Photographer: The Palm Co
