Hi All,
I'm looking for your input - esp. from builders. What exterior cladding is the best for our NZ conditions - horizontal rain (and now lots of it in short sharp downpours). We're building new and want to be on the right side re. cladding so we don't get issues later on with watertightness etc. A lot of the newer cladding fails after a short time (5 years).
Timber cladding like Abodo Vulcan Cladding or cedar timber from Cedarscreen look good - but they're expensive and more technical to install i.e. easy to get wrong and water gets in around joins (corners, windows, doors etc). What are your suggestions or experiences?
I welcome all input.
cheers,
Donna
