What it is
Cladding gives a facade material contrast that render alone can't. Weatherboard profiles, vertical joint panels, composite boards and feature panels each bring their own texture and shadow line, and used against a rendered wall they break up a large elevation into something with far more depth.
The visible part is the product choice. The part that determines whether the wall performs is behind it — the wrap, the battens, the flashings and the way junctions are detailed where cladding meets render, meets a window, or meets the ground.
Product ranges
From vertical-groove panels to classic weatherboard — the fibre-cement ranges builders and architects specify most.
Vertical-groove fibre-cement panel with a crisp, evenly-spaced shadow line — clean and contemporary.
Expressed-joint modular panel that reads as a bold grid of large tiles across the facade.
Wide horizontal boards with a deep express channel — a modern take on the weatherboard look.
The classic weatherboard profile with a defined shadow line — timeless on coastal and character homes.
Why it's worth it
Breaks up large rendered elevations and gives a facade genuine architectural depth.
Correctly installed and flashed, cladding forms a durable protective skin over the structure.
The cavity behind cladding is a natural place to improve the wall's thermal and acoustic performance.
The fibre-cement ranges builders ask for most — Axon vertical-groove, Matrix panel, Stria and Linea weatherboard — matched to the look and the budget.
Modern systems are designed for long service life with minimal upkeep beyond periodic washing.
Cladding closes a wall in quickly, which helps keep a build program moving.
Our process
We go through profiles, finishes and fixing methods against the design intent, the exposure and the budget.
Wall wrap, cavity battens where the system requires them, and all flashings are installed before cladding starts — this is the part that keeps water out.
Cladding is fixed at the manufacturer's specified centres and edge distances, with correct expansion allowances at joints.
Junctions with render, windows, corners and ground clearance are detailed and sealed, then the cladding is finished or coated as specified.
Who it's for
Good to know
The popular fibre-cement ranges — Axon (vertical groove), Matrix (expressed-joint panel), Stria and Linea weatherboard among them — along with composite and feature profiles. We match the profile to the look you're after, the exposure and your budget, and install it to the manufacturer's specification.
