Fibre cement and timber for renovation façades
Compare façade options against the existing building and proposed renovation scope. Review the appearance alongside the support, junction and finish details, and ask how the chosen system interfaces with the parts of the building that remain.
Define the selection
Work from the selected system and elevation drawings. Record the nominated material and the compatible support, fixing and accessory requirements, then ask the designer or manufacturer to resolve any detail that differs from the published arrangement.
Check before comparing products
- Existing construction and renovation scope.
- Selected profile and supporting system.
- Junctions, coating and maintenance plan.
Build a material list that can be checked
Record the selected product name or SKU, each required size and the quantity for each work area. Use the actual listed coverage when estimating packs or boards, and confirm the allowance with your installer. Include compatible accessories and keep a copy of the agreed selections.
