Above: The Mt Pleasant house
features Palliside low-maintenance
weatherboards in White. The profiles
of the weatherboards are similar to
the traditional timber cladding of the
original home – they have matching
shadowlines. The system works well
with all architectural styles, from
contemporary designs through to
more traditional homes.

The location of the Mt Pleasant house, on a
steep site close to the sea, meant durability and
light weight were critical for the cladding.
Palliside weatherboards were specified by
Archimetrix to best suit these conditions while
simultaneously providing a low-maintenance,
cost-effective solution. This helped to ensure
the build could be accommodated within the
budget constraints of the insurance company.
Palliside is a pre-finished weatherboard
system that never needs painting. It will keep
its good looks with a wash-down once a year.

it will stand the test of time. It also provides a
highly sustainable solution – Palliside is made
from 100% recyclable material, and further eco
savings are made because it doesn’t need
ongoing paint applications.
To enhance the aesthetic of this home, the
architect opted for Palliside timber facings and
sills around the windows and doors. These are
also a visual link back to the original house.
