Weatherboard cladding has been used in Sydney for over a century. However it has its drawbacks in that it has to be painted to prevent dry rot in the timbers and to keep up appearances, as paint fades and UPVC 7mm thick weatherboards never need painting, they will not fade, powder or rot. Palliside is Australian made and engineered and has been used to clad the original weatherboard homes in Sydney for the last 35 years.
