Cedral Weatherboard

High Pressure Laminate
Fibre cement weatherboard is the low maintenance alternative to traditional timber weatherboarding. This cladding is simple to install, looks like natural timber and is available in natural finish or a range of 22 colours and 8 new woodgrain colours. Weatherboard stands up to the harshest conditions as it's name suggests, offers a class O fire performance, is immune to pests and insects and comes with a 10 year maintenance free manufacturer's warranty.

Manufacture

Weatherboard is an autoclaved fibre cement plank manufactured from a mixture of cement, organic fillers and water.

Fixing

Weatherboard is fixed to timber batten in a 'ship lap' configuration using nails or screws. It is fixed in the same way as timber weatherboarding.

Finishes

Ask us about the 2 textured finishes 'smooth' & 'country'. Weatherboard can be specified unpainted and finished on-site to obtain the appropriate look. Normal timber dyes and preservative treatments are not appropriate. For an opaque matt finish use exterior water based acrylic paint. No primer necessary. For a gloss finish, seal with an oil based primer followed by 2 coats of external paint. For a translucent finish, use water based woodstain.
