the duel cladding has an upmarket feel,
says Aaron Guerin, of LAD Architecture
“Both Linea Weatherboard and Stria
Cladding work well with the cedar accents
also used on the home’s exterior.”
The wide-panel format of Stria Cladding contrasts and complements the more
classic appeal of Linea Weatherboard. For
this home, Synergy chose white for the
Linea Weatherboard and a neutral palette
for Stria Cladding. However, they can both
be painted any colour. Stria Cladding can
also be installed horizontally or vertically
– providing further design combinations.
The two claddings are formed in lightweight cement composite sheets, which
Guerin says makes them easy to work with.
“The builders can lift and fix the sheets
quickly and easily, providing significant
benefits labour-wise,” he says.
“We pride ourselves on design, detail,
and finish – and James Hardie’s products
fit the brief well.”

Linea Weatherboard offers a classic look but with
the benefits of fibre cement. This was matched
with neutral Stria Cladding – used in wide panel
format for a modern appeal. The high-tech
cladding systems are fire resistant, rot resistant,
resistant to moisture, and highly cost effective.
