Everybody’s talking about cement sheet cladding! Well, maybe not everybody, but everybody who’s either in the building industry or who’s building a home.

And why wouldn’t they be? It’s a material that has revolutionised the building game thanks to its several advantages over other materials.

What kind of advantages are we talking about? There are plenty.

But to narrow it down, we’ll outline our Big 3.

Here, Plaster Wholesalers outline the 3 big advantages of using cement fibre cladding over other materials.

Durability

When you’re building a home, you want it to last. That’s why it’s crucial to choose long-lasting, durable products that will stand the test of time, as well as defend your home from the elements. Cement sheeting is a material that ticks this box. Lasting upwards of 50 years with the right maintenance, cement fibre cladding is an excellent choice for the harsh Victorian climate. Even with our hot summers and cold, rainy winters, cement sheeting stands the test of time.

Fibre cement cladding doesn’t crack or swell, even in extreme temperature changes. This makes it far more suitable for the Melbourne climate than, for example, timber weatherboards which are more susceptible to rot.

High value, low maintenance

The low cost and high durability of fibre cement sheeting makes it a high-value product which is affordable yet effective and long-lasting. This makes fibre cement cladding the ideal choice for home builders and renovators looking for a strong material on a budget.

Another aspect that reduces the cost of fibre cement sheeting is the low maintenance. While some cleaning and maintaining is required, it’s far less needy than, say, timber which needs to be painted regularly in order to prevent against weathering and rot.

The high value of fibre cement sheeting stacks up against many other traditional building materials… especially when you consider its final big advantage!

Flexible design

Last but not least, fibre cement sheeting is super flexible and adaptable. It allows you to get creative, bringing out your own personal taste and flair in your home design. Different colours, textures, styles and angles are all part of the possibilities with fibre cement sheeting.

We’ve seen some incredible examples of home renovators getting creative with their fibre cement cladding designs. Just search your browser and get inspired – the opportunities for creativity are endless.

Tasteful, customised fibre cement cladding can create a unique and value-adding façade to your home. It’s an easy way to invest in your home, leading to added curb appeal.
