STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS BUILDING ENVELOPE


fewer raw materials and less energy in its manufacture than some traditional building materials, produces less waste, and is fully recyclable.


CHOOSING A COLOUR THAT FITS Take into account the colour of your roof, your windows and doors, or even the surrounding vegetation as a starting point when making your choice. Also factor in the house’s orientation and the amount of sunshine. Cladding a facade in fibre cement offers protection against the sun’s UV rays and thanks to providing a second layer around the home, the structural elements of your house will not be exposed to harsh weather conditions. A ventilated facade is often used for


Fibre cement cladding is also easy to install and low maintenance – a wipe- down with a wet cloth is all it takes to look as good as new.


THINKING ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY Homeowners are increasingly thinking about the environmental impact of the products they use. Fibre cement uses


improved energy efficiency. With this type of system the facade cladding doesn’t sit directly against the insulation but is separated by a ventilation gap which effectively protects the insulation against moisture. This enables rapid drying of external walls, reducing condensation and humidity. As insulation and cladding are separated from each other, such a build-up also provides fire, sound, heat and weather protection.


A VARIETY OF LOOKS Light fibre cement colours are ideal for shaded or north-facing exterior walls.


They also help to highlight the architectural design, making the house look larger.


Shades of light and medium grey can


provide a modern vibe to a house, giving your home a more contemporary look. Shades of green and blue will help the home fit in with nature, and whether in the countryside or by the sea. Reds, terracottas and ochres enable you to give your house a warm and original feel. Fibre cement cladding comes in a wide range of colours and the colour will stand the test of time. Fibre cement cladding is available in weatherboards for a more traditional lapped style or in a flush fitting tongue and groove, providing the opportunity for a more classical or contemporary flat finish. Vertically installed cladding is a growing trend to create a sleek and contemporary aesthetic across the facade. There is also a range of visual design possibilities from combining different materials. It’s all about choosing the facade material that suits you best. And whether you have a modern or a more classic property, fibre cement can provide a host of options in terms of look, colour and method of application.
