Recladding

New Zealand weather can be quite extreme, especially if you are living in coastal areas where your house is constantly exposed to the elements. Unfortunately, water tightness and worn or rotten weatherboards can be a problem. They not only destroy the aesthetic look of a building and reduce its value, but they also pose a significant risk to the safety of your home and the health of you and your loved ones living inside.

Replacing affected weatherboards as soon as possible is a vital part of general maintenance and will help with the water tightness and longevity of your property.

There are several cladding materials available on the New Zealand market. Whether you choose masonry, timber, vinyl, metal or monolith – re-cladding is also a cost-effective way to modernise your home, change its looks and add value to the overall property by adding cover and insulation. Which material to choose depends on your requirements in terms of insulation performance, sustainability, durability, aesthetics and budget. While re-cladding your home, it is also the perfect opportunity to take a look at other maintenance issues such as plumbing and wiring.

Re-cladding presents an opportunity to not only refresh the look of your home but also enhance its performance. By choosing modern cladding materials with improved insulation, you can boost energy efficiency, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It’s also a chance to inspect and address other maintenance needs, such as plumbing or wiring, while the exterior is exposed.

Re-cladding is more than a cosmetic upgrade; it’s a key part of preserving your home’s value and longevity. Addressing worn or damaged weatherboards protects your property from the elements while giving it a fresh, updated look. By selecting suitable materials, re-cladding can enhance comfort, insulation, and curb appeal, making it a worthwhile investment for homeowners across New Zealand.
