Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 08, 2024 6:36 am Hi all, From the point of view of longevity of appearance, does anyone have experience with those powder coated wood-appearance exterior products which seem to be around a little more than last time I looked at houses/designs 10 years ago? I can't seem to paste in a photo, but I'm referring to stuff like: https://www.alteria.com.au/range/alumin ... en-system/ That one seems to be available with a 25yr appearance warranty, but does need cleaning with soap & water yearly. The home we've just sold is just brick, with just 4 wooden poles & wooden front door ... if we'd gone with render we'd have had to paint to sell. I'm wondering how this power-coat holds up in the UV though, wood might look nice but I definitely can't stomach that much ongoing maintenance.

Aluminium can be prone to corrosion, powder coating will fail if not done perfectly and warranties mean nothing in most cases. Will the company be around in 20 years to honour their warranty? Even if they are around how confident are you in their willingness to honour the warranty? Who decides if the appearance is acceptable or not? (I bet it won't be you). If you can sort out these questions then you'll be in a good position to make an informed decision.. I would also extend the pantry into that space, so the powder room is an L shape. Can you show a bit more of what the pantry area looks like? I had similar on my design… 2 12619 create a wall cavity/through timber to pass 110 mm sewer pipes. As I understand to pass 110m pipe the frame should be greater than 130-150 mm. 2 10047 The most definitive answer to your question James is this taken from the James Hardie Axon Cladding Installation Guide - i just happen to have it… 5 21805 |
