CLADDING RUSTICATED SPOTTED GUM SEAS S&B 127MM COV X 19MM LM

Hardwood timber cladding is an increasingly popular choice as an external façade for residential and commercial buildings alike. It affords design freedom and the warm aesthetic of a natural Australian timber species.

Presenting a rusticated profile, this spotted gum hardwood cladding not only contributes to the visual, but also to the comfort and structural performance of the building. With proper installation, care, and maintenance, these spotted gum weatherboards can last for some 25-30 years!

As one of Australia’s premium native hardwoods, spotted gum has a striking appearance and a high degree of natural resilience and strength. Combined with the wavy grain structure, attractive markings and vibrant colour palette, it’s a rich individual timber valued by architects and designers the world over. The "spotted" reference comes from the soft mottled colour produced by weathering of the outer tree as it sheds elliptical-shaped pieces of bark. The resulting colour varies widely from pale grey-browns, to soft creams, to a rich chocolate brown, even producing an olive green or red tinge occasionally.

Finish these weatherboards with an exterior stain, paint, oil or clear coat. Leaving the cladding raw is a further option, but accelerated weathering and reduced lifespan will likely result. Spotted gum has an astonishing level of natural fire resistance. It’s inherent fire retarding properties meet Australian Standard AS3959, and so can be used in bush-fire prone areas without any treatment.
