In addition to being an aesthetically pleasing addition to your home, weatherboard cladding protects the exterior walls of your property against potential damage caused by rain, snow, wind or hail. It also has insulative properties, helping to keep the warmth in and your heating bills down.
Weatherboard cladding can be laid either flush, overlaid, vertically or horizontally, depending on your preferences and the specifications of the cladding product chosen.
While weatherboard cladding was traditionally made from timber, in more recent years modern, cheaper, and higher performancce alternatives have become more popular, including PVCu and fibre cement cladding.
