Technical Information

Weatherboard Information

Cemintel weatherboards are durable and fast to install. This makes them a good product for new construction on green field and urban infill sites. By tailoring the decorative details on knockdown rebuild projects, it’s not difficult to make weatherboard homes fit-in with established streetscapes.

The weatherboard aesthetic evokes the charm and craftsmanship of timber. The truth is, fibre cement weatherboards are more common than timber weatherboards. They’re resistant to the things wood suffers from, like rot, termites and permanent water damage. If they get wet, they won’t swell, warp or split meaning the paint is less likely to crack.

Not only are overlapping weatherboards a highly weather resistant type of cladding, fibre cement is tough, durable and weather resistant too. Since the paint is less likely to crack, it’s less likely to bubble or peel. That reduces the need for repainting, a major pain point of timber weatherboard home ownership.

Weatherboard Installation

Cemintel weatherboards are easy to install. Gun nail or hand nail the boards to timber stud frames or screw them to light gauge steel frames. Stud spacing can be up to 600 mm depending on wind zone requirements.

Boards can be joint off-stud using a metal soaker accessory (Order no. 89857) to reduce waste.

Fixing via a cavity wall system is also an option using vertical timber or fibre cement battens.

Balmoral Weatherboard are 180mm high. They are 16mm thick, casting deeper, more contemporary shadow lines.
Scarborough Weatherboards are 175mm high. They are 12mm thick with shallower shadow lines.
Headland Weatherboards are slightly narrower than the Balmoral 180mm and Scarborough weatherboards at 170mm high. They just 10 mm thick and have a decorative horizontal rebate, for more of a traditional weatherboard look.

Cemintel weatherboards are deemed suitable for use in applications where non-combustible materials are specified. As per the National Construction Code Volume One clause C2D1 Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions (6) (d).

Similarly, they’re suitable for Bushfire Attack Levels up to BAL-29 when constructed in accordance with Australian Standards AS3959. External walls in bushfire zones can be upgraded to BAL-FZ when the weatherboards are part of a fire rated plasterboard wall system.
