FAQs

What are the pros and cons of weatherboard?

Weatherboard homes boast a timeless charm and versatility in design. They are often quicker and easier to construct than brick homes, allowing for more flexibility in design changes. Weatherboards, especially modern variants, offer good insulation and can be environmentally friendly. While traditional timber weatherboards may require more maintenance, such as regular painting, this allows for easy updates to your home's appearance. Additionally, advancements in materials like fibre cement have reduced maintenance needs, offering durability alongside the aesthetic appeal of weatherboards.

What is a weatherboard home?

A weatherboard home features external walls constructed from rows of timber or timber-like boards. This style, popular in Australia, offers a distinct, classic look and provides the flexibility to create various architectural designs, from traditional cottages to modern homes.

Is it worth building a weatherboard house?

Absolutely! Building a weatherboard house is a fantastic choice for those seeking a home with character and flexibility in design. Weatherboard homes can be personalised to your taste and offer a warm, inviting aesthetic. With Smarthomes, you get the added benefit of custom designs and modern materials that enhance the longevity and efficiency of your home.

Is it cheaper to build brick or weatherboard?

Generally, it can be more cost-effective to build a weatherboard home. Weatherboard construction typically requires less labour and time, which can lead to savings. Additionally, the flexibility in design might also reduce costs in other areas of the build. However, the total cost can vary based on design choices and materials.

Is a brick house better than weatherboard?

Both brick and weatherboard homes have their unique advantages. Brick homes are known for their durability and low maintenance, while weatherboard homes offer a classic aesthetic and design flexibility. At Smarthomes, we ensure that our weatherboard homes are built to the highest standards, offering durability, style, and comfort, making them an equally appealing choice.

How often does a weatherboard house need painting?

A weatherboard house typically needs repainting every 10 to 15 years, depending on the climate and the paint quality. This maintenance is a great opportunity to refresh the look of your home, keeping it vibrant and up-to-date.

Are weatherboard houses safe?

Yes, weatherboard houses are safe when built and maintained correctly. Modern weatherboard materials are designed to be durable and can be treated for fire resistance. Smarthomes ensures that all our weatherboard homes meet strict Australian building standards, prioritising the safety and well-being of our clients.

What is the difference between weatherboard and cladding?

Weatherboard refers specifically to a type of cladding made up of long, narrow timber or timber-like boards. Cladding, on the other hand, is a more general term that encompasses any exterior material used on the walls of a building, including weatherboard, brick, vinyl, and more. Weatherboard is thus a subset of cladding, known for its characteristic overlapping boards and charming aesthetic.
