In Australia, the significance of interior and exterior cladding goes beyond just aesthetic appeal. The climatic conditions in Australia, characterised by extremes in temperature, varying levels of humidity, and exposure to harsh elements, make robust cladding solutions essential. Exterior cladding serves as a protective barrier, shielding homes from the intense sun, heavy rainfall, and even bushfires that are prevalent in certain regions. This not only enhances the structural integrity of the building but also contributes to energy efficiency by regulating internal temperatures.
On the interior front, cladding is pivotal in creating a comfortable and visually pleasing living environment. It provides insulation, helping to maintain a stable indoor temperature and reducing the reliance on heating or cooling systems. Interior cladding offers a versatile canvas for design expression, allowing homeowners to personalise their spaces with a variety of textures, colours, and materials.
Recently PMC supplied some Cemintel Barestone cladding to a stunning property in Tolga. The build is situated on top of a hill that overlooks the Atherton tablelands. In this region, high temperatures and humidity are common as well as large amounts of rainfall in the wet season. It was decided that high-quality fibre cement cladding would be the most suitable option for the exterior of the property.
The Barestone hues effortlessly blend with their surroundings while capturing attention. With the flexibility to be cut into various shapes, employed horizontally or vertically, and installed both internally and externally, the design potential becomes virtually endless. Barestone is available in four different tones/colours and is easily installed using the ‘express wall framing system’.
Barestone can also be used to create intriguing interior looks. Designed for use in most areas of the home, Barestone panels are highly versatile. Create striking feature walls or even a bold Barestone ceiling. The added advantage of a stain-resistant coating on the panel surfaces ensures that common household spills, be it oil, wine, or food, are easily manageable.
