Palliside Weatherboards Balance Function and Style for this Waterfront Home

PALLISIDE uPVC weatherboards were an easy choice for Jim and Jill, the proud owners of this easy-living waterfront home. They prioritised lifestyle over a lifetime of tedious house maintenance when choosing their exterior cladding.

They achieved a perfect balance between function and style, opting to use the Rusticated Smooth PALLISIDE weatherboards in white, creating an elegant finish PALLISIDE is well suited to this look, thanks to its double board profile and concealed nailing, which delivers a seamless, nail-free finish with minimal joins.

When looking to build, the couple wanted a home that would stand up to the elements and didn’t require much maintenance. Jim certainly doesn’t want to waste his precious time on painting his house. This was the biggest reason for choosing PALLISIDE weatherboards. “I’m an engineer, so function and practicality matter above all else but the bonus is, the PALLISIDE weatherboards look great too!” says Jim.

When Jim compared PALLISIDE to other uPVC cladding systems, it was a clear winner due to its sheer quality.

Being a coastal property, Jim had to be careful which materials he chose. It was imperative that the product would not be affected by salt spray and that it could be easily washed down.

“The fact that he’ll never need to paint the house is a definite draw card. We also love that it has a 25-year warranty, made in New Zealand and BRANZ approved,” says Jim.

While being environmentally friendly doesn’t factor into every homeowner’s choice in building products, sustainability is something that Jim and his family are very mindful of. Their choice of PALLISIDE weatherboards for the exterior cladding came down, in part, to their sustainability credentials — made from 100% recyclable materials.

PALLISIDE weatherboards are UV resistant and resilient against sea-spray, ideal for coastal locations.
