Cladding & Facades

Composite is made of a hard outer layer with an insulating core and is very durable in terms of weathering and scratching.

Brick cladding is a popular option because it is long-lasting and has a classic look that never goes out of style.

Concrete is another great option because it doesn't need much maintenance at all making it an excellent choice for homeowners. Also a good option in terms of fire resistance.

Metal can help keep moisture away from your house by acting as an insulator against heat transfer during the winter months in Australia. A very modern and attractive cladding solution. Aluminium facade cladding panels need a compatible coating and fixing system for the site's exposure.

Timber cladding is a great option for any home. It's durable, beautiful, and can be customised to fit your needs. Natural timber weatherboards also bring an undeniable warmth to any home.

Fiber cement cladding is a durable building material made from a mixture of cement, cellulose fibers, and other additives, known for its strength, versatility, and resistance to environmental elements.

Glazed facade systems are building exteriors featuring large glass panels that allow abundant natural light into a structure while enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

Eaves and soffits enhance facades by providing both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, such as protecting the building from weather elements and maintaining a visually pleasing appearance.

Exterior decorative mouldings enhance facades by adding intricate detailing and character, elevating the aesthetic appeal of the building's exterior.

Green facades are living systems of plants and vines grown on the exterior of buildings, providing both aesthetic beauty and environmental benefits such as improved air quality and energy efficiency.

Masonry is the construction technique that involves the use of stone or brick materials to create solid structures through the arrangement of individual units, typically held together with mortar. Bluestone facade cladding is a stone option, so the wall structure and fixing details need to account for its weight.

When it comes to building materials in Australia, there's no question that high-quality external cladding and facades are the way to go. When you invest in a high-quality product, you're not just getting a beautiful look-you're getting peace of mind. Its integrity won’t be easily compromised, it’ll look great for longer and you’ll have much less maintenance over the long term. It also means that when you sell your home, it will be something that stands out and adds value to your property as something that will attract potential buyers. A sound cladding design also accounts for the building’s orientation, junctions and future maintenance.

When choosing external wall cladding or facade screens, it's important to consider how the materials will interact with your home, and how they will affect the look and feel of your home or office space in Australia. If it's an investment property, you may want to choose a material that is more durable and longer lasting. If this is your dream home, however, you may want to choose something more aesthetically pleasing. You’ll also want to consider your local weather conditions. For example, if you live by the coast, you’ll be exposed to the sea air so you’ll want to avoid any materials that might rust easily in these situations. The budget will also be a major factor and it's important to understand what your budget is and how much material you’ll need to see if it's a realistic option for you. The cladding facade design should resolve flashings and penetrations around openings, with the substrate and fixing system suited to the chosen finish.
