Looking for the best facade cladding? With weatherboards or sidings, you can give your home a new protective skin. But which ones the choose? Timber or fibre cement? We share all the pros and cons at a glance.
Your house is exposed to the elements, day in, day out: rain, wind, heat, snow… So, it is important to protect it as well as possible. With facade cladding, you give your home an extra layer of protection, like a second skin, to protect your living environment inside, but also the structure of your building.
The choice of cladding is crucial for your home. Besides making your house weatherproof, facade cladding can also help you save money on heating if combined with insulation. Depending on the type of weatherboards, you can make your facade fireproof and soundproof too. Last but not least, aesthetics is also important. The sidings you use for your home will largely determine its look.
Currently, two types of weatherboards are leading in the cladding market: timber sidings and fibre-cement cladding. They both come in planks that are placed on battens to create a ventilated facade, as air can freely circulate behind the weatherboards, keeping your walls dry.

Cons
Fibre-cement weatherboards beat timber when it comes to durability, cost (long-term), maintenance, fire-safety and design options. With the wood-grain texture, Cedral now even looks as good as timber too, if that is what you are looking for.
