Australian weather is unpredictable at the best of times, resulting in your property being subjected to the unforgiving sun one day and torrential rain the next. As your home is typically the most significant financial investment you are going to make in your lifetime, it is important to protect your property with only the most trusted materials.
Without high-quality exterior cladding, your property is vulnerable to damage, mould growth, and decreased insulation, resulting in lowered value and a potential need to renovate. By investing in the right weatherproof cladding options, you can ensure your home stays safe long into the future.

It is also resistant to rot, moisture, and termites, giving extra piece of mind that the exteriors of your property will stand the test of time.

A contemporary take on shiplap weatherboard, Stria cladding is an easy way to get a sleek yet paired back aesthetic. Able to be applied both vertically and horizontally, Stria cladding encourages customisation to help you find the right look for your property. Perfect for modern home and townhouse designs, Stria cladding features deep grooves from the thick shiplap cladding boards.
EasyLap Panelling
A pre-primed fibre cement sheet with a shiplap joint along its two vertical edges, EasyLap panelling is a time and cost-effective broadwall solution for external wall applications. It is designed for use in residential single and medium density buildings and is also effective for alterations and extensions. Suitable for use on timber and light gauge steel framed homes, EasyLap panels are finished with a site-applied, roll-on textured acrylic paint to achieve a subtle rendered texture look.

Matrix cladding provides a clean and modern expressed-joint look, while also offering a bold industrial aesthetic. With various panel sizes available, Matrix cladding is suitable for square, vertical, horizontal, and brick pattern layouts. Its cavity construction design improves thermal properties and achieves higher R-values up to 3.3. Matrix cladding can also be used for interior feature walls and combined with other James Hardie cladding products for contrast and to accentuate design elements.
