Types of timber cladding

Shiplap weatherboards

Popular in Australia, shiplap weatherboards have a tongue-and-groove joint system with a more extended lip for improved waterproofness.

Bevel back weatherboards

Lightweight yet sturdy, bevel back weatherboards allow air to penetrate the construction and quickly dry out any moisture. A great exterior timber cladding solution for harsh climate conditions or coastal areas.

Board & batten weatherboards

Wide, vertical timber weatherboards with seams covered by thin strips, board and batten are airtight, durable and attractive.

Rusticated weatherboards

Their wide voids, along with the common horizontal board orientation, are best suited for mild and dry climate conditions. Rusticated weatherboards have a rustic, farm-style appearance.

V-groove weatherboards

V-groove is versatile and weather-tight, suitable for residential and commercial use. The tongue-and-groove system has a distinctive shadow line between the boards.

The advantages of high-quality timber cladding

When it comes to materials to protect your home and add visual appeal, you should always choose quality. Your timber cladding should be high-quality wood, preferably hardwood timber that is stable, durable and long-lasting, with reasonable resistance to Australia’s weather, mould, rot and insects. Also, the quality of the installation and maintenance should match the product. If you invest in quality, you will also have more options at your fingertips in terms of design.

How to choose timber cladding that is right for you

Your choice depends on a few key factors, including design preference, climate and budget. Weatherboard designs known for their weather-tightness are shiplap, V-groove and bevel backed, which suit areas with a harsher climate. A rusticated weatherboard is more suitable for milder conditions, and anyone who is after a more vintage look. If budget is a factor, a softwood timber species offer extremely competitive prices, and if you’re seeking practicality, a board and batten system is easy to install and repair. 

There are several alternative materials worth considering.

Composite cladding combines various materials to provide strength and versatility, making it an excellent choice for modern designs.

Concrete cladding, on the other hand, offers both durability and a contemporary look, making it suitable for industrial and urban settings.

Fibre cement cladding is known for its durability and resistance to fire and moisture, making it an ideal choice for areas with challenging weather conditions.

Metal cladding imparts a sleek and modern appearance, perfect for projects seeking a cutting-edge design.

Lastly, UPVC cladding is a low-maintenance option that resists weathering, making it a practical choice for long-term durability.
