Kind of weird that the original old villa and bungalow houses clad in weatherboard without a cavity do not have the issues that the current materials being used for cladding on a cavity batten do.

We're rebuilding our house right now and have chosen cedar cladding. We've noticed some knots that have turned to 'holes' and we're getting those panels replaced, not filled in. Cedar does need a lot more care to stop the colouring etc. Stain every couple of years.
