Description

The home is built and now the timber cladding needs painting or coating. It is important that this is carried out correctly to ensure long-term durability and a great appearance.

Timber weatherboards have been used to clad New Zealand homes for generations. They are a proven cladding made from a durable natural resource that is flexible and lightweight and can be easily worked and finished to a high standard.

Similarly, we have painted our houses for generations. Whether this has been done by home handy people or professional painters, painting and paint systems are a critical component in protecting what is probably our most valuable asset.
