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 its maintenance-free weatherboard.
Since 1981, Formplex has been providing Australian homes with maintenance-free uPVC weatherboards.
There is an ever-increasing desire for weatherboard facades in house design, however the constant maintenance required makes it unappealing, not to mention the significant costs involved in preserving a timber home.
Whether you’re 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.
Fast becoming a building material widely accepted throughout the world, and being particularly renowned for its performance benefits, uPVC is the perfect lightweight external cladding material.
uPVC is also known for providing the highest level of thermal comfort, for its insulation properties and for being extremely durable.
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 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 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-clad abode.
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.
