Fibre cement cladding has become a popular choice among Australians, particularly when it comes to façades. Increasingly, people are looking to build unique, design-led homes – and fibre cement cladding can be used to create an array of contemporary yet timeless looks.

What is the difference between prefinished and paint-on-site fibre cement cladding?

Paint-on-site cladding is any cladding that has already been coated with a paint primer. Once installed, it is ready to paint in the colour of your choice, eliminating the need for an undercoat.

Our weatherboard range mirrors the appearance of traditional timber weatherboards, the overlapping boards create beautiful shadows on your façade throughout the day. They can be used to create a range of looks – coastal, Hamptons and more. Alternatively, Cemintel Edge will deliver modern, vertical cladding look, while Cemintel Aspect provides a smooth surface and broad horizontal grooves for a more industrial style.

Prefinished cladding, on the other hand, comes delivered to site with a final factory finish and is integrated into a mixed façade. No further painting, handling, or finishing is required.

Cemintel Barestone is a beautiful example of prefinished cladding. Barestone evokes the look of raw natural concrete with its gently mottled finish. Alternatively, the Cemintel Territory collection incorporates various textures, tones, and patterns, simulating materials such as stone, timber, concrete, metal, and smooth render.

Despite their differences, prefinished and paint-on-site cladding are both great options when it comes to creating beautiful and durable facades. They are easy to install, helping you get you into your new home faster. Depending on the size of your home, you can usually install a full cladding system in just 3-5 days.

Plus, all fibre cement cladding from Cemintel is durable and impact resistant. With a minimum 10-year warranty, you can be assured our products are made to last.
