Weatherboards

What types of weatherboards are available?

Our partners offer a variety of weatherboards, including timber, fibre cement, and vinyl options. Each type offers different benefits in terms of durability, maintenance, and aesthetic appeal, allowing you to choose the best option for your home’s exterior.

How do I choose the right weatherboard material for my home?

When selecting weatherboards, consider the climate in your area, your home’s architectural style, and your maintenance preferences. Timber weatherboards offer a classic look but require more upkeep, while fibre cement and vinyl are low-maintenance options that can mimic the appearance of wood.

Are weatherboards energy-efficient?

Weatherboards can contribute to the energy efficiency of your home when properly installed and insulated. Fibre cement and vinyl weatherboards are particularly good at providing insulation and protecting against the elements, helping to regulate indoor temperatures.

What is the best way to maintain weatherboards?

Maintenance depends on the material of the weatherboards. Timber weatherboards require regular painting or staining to protect against moisture and decay. Fibre cement and vinyl weatherboards are more resistant to the elements but should still be cleaned periodically to remove dirt and grime.

Can weatherboards be painted in any colour?

Yes, most weatherboards can be painted in a wide range of colours to suit your home’s aesthetic. Timber weatherboards offer the most flexibility in colour choice, while fibre cement and some vinyl weatherboards can also be painted if desired.
