EVERYONE loves the look of a freshly painted weatherboard home.
Whether it’s a traditional or modern look, you can achieve it with Formplex weatherboards.
Formplex has the perfect solution for you to enjoy your weatherboard home by using maintenance free weatherboards.
Since 1981, Formplex have been providing Australian homes with maintenance free uPVC weather boards.
The ever-increasing desire for weatherboard facades in house design versus the constant maintenance required makes it unappealing, not to mention the significant costs involved in preserving a timber home.
Whether you are building a new home, refurbishing a non-brick home, adding an extension, or just wanting to enhance the street appeal of your existing home, Formplex offers an Australian made weatherboard to withstand Australia’s harsh climate while keeping the iconic look of a timber weatherboard that adapts to modern living needs. uPVC is fast becoming a building material widely accepted throughout the world and being particularly renowned for its performance benefits makes it the perfect lightweight external cladding material. uPVC is also known for providing the highest level of thermal comfort, insulation properties and being extremely durable and long lasting.
Formplex uPVC weatherboard cladding is the easiest, economical and most efficient face lift you can give your timber or fibro home. It’s a simple interlocking of panels over the existing façade or installed straight to frame over ply. It will give the house façade a new long lasting, well insulated coat and freshly painted timber look.
Our range of boards can be installed horizontally or vertically making it suitable for most design options.
The colour of external cladding influences its capacity to absorb or reflect heat. In most climates, it is preferable to use lighter colours or reflective finishes.
Formplex’s colour palette is aesthetically pleasing and holds the UV stability throughout its life expectancy.
You can also add the perfect contrast colour to ensure your home is unique and represents you by using colour on the non-weatherboard elements of the home or using contrasting trim work to set off the main colour. Your colour design is only limited by your imagination.
Formplex’s range of uPVC weatherboards will help insulate your home saving in energy costs over time.
The primary roles of cladding are to control the infiltration of weather elements and the egress of water vapour while providing a durable, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Secondary roles can include sound and thermal insulation, fire resistance, and the capacity for cleaning in dusty, polluted environments.
Formplex weatherboards are perfect for renovating tired non-brick homes into a freshly painted weatherboard cladded abodes, adding an extension or used on the initial build.
They also feature perfectly where a multi facade look is desired with stone feature columns or base wall or combined with a render facade.
Being a lightweight building board, Formplex boards are perfect for upper storey construction where the owner/builder is seeking a lightweight option for their project that is not only maintenance free but will also meet their building costs on the substructure. No ongoing painting and scaffold hire required.
When you’re considering what product to work with on your project, consider also the ongoing costs if you choose a product that requires ongoing maintenance. You’ll need scaffold hire if it’s multi level so why not look at a lightweight building board that won’t require painting and won’t rot, chip or peel.
Formplex refurbish existing non-brick homes that need an update using traditional looking weatherboards without the ongoing maintenance removed for new builds.
We have a dedicated building department to focus on working with owner builders and developers from design stage through to completion. We take pride in our work and set the bar high.
