Weatherboard Cladding Brisbane Solutions
Pine Weatherboards
Pine weatherboards are a popular choice for Queenslanders, as they’re termite resistant and are durable against various weather conditions. Our LOSP pine weatherboards (Light organic solvent preservative) are fused with preservatives to ensure the timber lasts for decades. These preservatives contain special waxes and resins, which keeps the timber moist, strong and rot resistant.
Hardwood Weatherboards
Hardwood weatherboards are one of the strongest weatherboards available, as they’re made with reconstituted hardwood. They’re typically used to protect a home against the elements, whilst giving an attractive appearance. Comprised of long, rectangular timber planks, hardwood weatherboards suit numerous styles of homes, including Hamptons, traditional, modern, cabin and farmhouse.

Benefits of Timber Weatherboard Cladding
Environmentally friendly
If there’s one thing anyone can’t deny, is that weatherboard cladding is one of the most aesthetically pleasing materials. If you’re looking to increase the curb appeal of your home, installing timber cladding is a sure-fire way to make a fantastic first impression.
It's eco friendly
Timber cladding is one of the most economical building materials available, as it’s created from renewable resources. It also produces fewer greenhouse gases, uses less water and energy to manufacture and can even be recycled should you choose to replace it.
It's a good insulator
Our pine and hardwood weatherboards are natural insulators as each has air pockets in the cell walls. This insulating effect will help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, resulting in less need for air cooling systems – which is great for the energy bill and the environment.
Easy to install
Installing weatherboard cladding is incredibly easy, and a lot faster than other building materials. This includes installing weatherboard over curved walls, as they can bend to shape. Timber weatherboards are also very low maintenance, with a simple wipe with a damp cloth all that’s needed.
Wide range of choices
Timber cladding comes in a wide range of colours, textures, timber types and designs, and be repainted to another colour if you’d like to change the style of your home’s façade. See the choice for yourself by checking out weatherboards Brisbane wide.

Yes! Installing weatherboard is not a complicated task if you consider yourself DIY-handy. Weatherboard should be secured by driving a nail as close as possible to the edge of the board without penetrating the top (or head) of the chamferboard. Ideally you should observe a minimum recommended lap of 21mm.
While there are differences in the different types of weatherboard, as a general rule of thumb this kind of cladding should be between 16mm and 25mm thick.
To prolong the life of your chamferboard, it is recommended to only use treated timbers or hardwood that is naturally resistant to rot and decay. It is also important to ensure your weatherboard is well maintained and ideally painted or sealed every 10-15 years as required to keep it looking its best. As timber expands and contracts with changes in humidity and temperature this can cause paint to chip and crack over time.
