Cladding.

Claddings chosen for character and longevity, not constant upkeep, from timber weatherboards to weathering steel, plaster and schist stone.

Systems we specify

Premium exterior cladding.

Hermpac vertical shiplap timber weatherboard cladding

Hermpac: vertical shiplap weatherboards

Hermpac offer quality vertical shiplap weatherboards in a wide range of standard profiles. These popular off-the-shelf profiles give designers and specifiers extra freedom and creative scope to meet individual needs.

Weathering-steel rainscreen cladding with a deep patina

Thermosash: weathering steel

Via the natural weathering process the surface rusts and creates a protective layer, producing a deep brown patina that varies slightly over time. As a facade cladding it is used as a rainscreen element on a Thermosash engineered rail system over a cavity wall with a rigid air barrier.

Good questions

Cladding, answered.

What timber cladding do you recommend for Tasman conditions?

Hermpac vertical shiplap weatherboards are one of our standard choices, and we have also clad homes in Lawson Cypress, such as Redwood Valley, for a durable, low-maintenance timber look suited to the local climate.

Do you clad homes in cedar?

We select the timber species to suit the design and site rather than defaulting to one, and Hermpac's range of profiles covers most cedar-style vertical shiplap looks clients ask for.

What non-timber cladding options do you offer?

Thermosash weathering steel for a rainscreen with a deep natural patina, James Hardie fibre cement, and Resene Construction plaster systems for a rendered, low-maintenance finish.

Is a stone cladding finish available?

Yes. Wanaka Stone schist gives a striking, enduring feature wall or facade that roots a home in the New Zealand landscape, usually combined with one of our other cladding systems.

How long does quality cladding last before it needs upkeep?

It depends on the material: weathering steel and stone need almost none, and quality timber and plaster systems are chosen for character and longevity rather than constant repainting.
