Weatherproof Cladding Options

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.

The Best Weatherproof Cladding Options

Oblique Cladding

James Hardie oblique cladding is perfect for those seeking exteriors that provide a bold yet contemporary aesthetic for their home. This cladding is made from premium fibre cement to ensure it retains its great looks even when subjected to harsh Australian weather conditions. 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.

 

Stria Cladding

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

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.

 

HardiePlank Weatherboard

One of the more affordable weatherproof cladding options available on the market, HardiePlank weatherboard is perfect for cost-effective builds and extensions. It is a thick fibre cement weathboard that comes in two distinct woodgrain textures. HardiePlank is built to last, being resistant to fire, termites, rot, and damage from moisture. It provides the charming look of timber without the longevity issues of shrinking, swelling, and warping.

 

Brushed Concrete Cladding

With its fresh, flowing lines, brushed concrete cladding is perfect for creating modern, minimalist exteriors. Its texture transforms depending on the light and proximity, resulting in a crisp, smooth appearance from a distance, and an unexpectedly tactile look on closer examination. Brushed concrete is versatile enough to be used on its own or paired with other exterior cladding options to create your dream home.

 

Primeline Weatherboard

A solid choice for single and medium density construction projects, James Hardie Primeline weatherboard is available in a range of styles to suit most heritage weatherboard homes.
