Pine rusticated weatherboards

Pine rusticated weatherboards are an extremely stable and durable option, as pine has minimal swelling or shrinking issues - even in the harsh weather conditions that we get in Australia.

Accoya rusticated weatherboards

Accoya is a type of high-tech wood that has been known to last longer and remain durable, even in extreme weather conditions, including prolonged heat.

Cedar rusticated weatherboards

Cedar has naturally occurring oils, which can help protect the wood against decay. Cedar rusticated weatherboards look striking on nearly any type of home.

The advantages of high-quality rusticated weatherboards

Quality is important when it comes to cladding, and ArchiPro has selected only quality rusticated weatherboards from trusted suppliers in Australia to optimise the durability and functionality of your home. As with all timber cladding options, rusticated weatherboards can rot and show early signs of wear and tear if made from poor quality wood, with substandard treatment or stain. High quality rusticated weatherboards will be less likely to warp and shrink when exposed to harsh weather conditions in Australia, and the quality of wood is likely to last longer than cheaper alternatives.

How to choose a rusticated weatherboard that's right for you

Firstly, ensure that your weatherboards are the right size. This requires measuring your chosen space to ensure that you don’t over or under-purchase weatherboards. Take a look at the style and size of your home and decide whether you want them to be applied vertically or horizontally. Next, decide what wood type you want. Do note that timber can vary in absorbency. Cedar is known to be extremely durable, although discolouration can occur. While pine is known to have natural movement, it should be coated with a treatment to increase durability. Most experts agree that dark colours should be avoided if you live in an area with harsh UV, as this can cause distortion. Rusticated weatherboard installation should follow the product specifications, including requirements for fixing and the selected horizontal or vertical layout.

What types of houses are suitable for rusticated weatherboards?

There is no one style of house that better suits rusticated weatherboards when it comes to aesthetics. In particular, villas and classic homes look outstanding with this style of weatherboard.

How long do rusticated weatherboards last?

With good and consistent maintenance measures, rusticated weatherboards should last up to 10 years in Australia. Priming, cleaning, and applying weather-resistant treatments will help to maintain healthy weatherboards.

Are rusticated weatherboards easy to work with?

Rusticated weatherboards are similar in style to bevel-back weatherboards, which are a tried and true style of cladding. Rusticated weatherboards are not known to be difficult to work with in Australia but this can depend on your skill level. It’s always good to ask a professional to help you install rusticated weatherboards if needed.
