"The Palliside 25-year guarantee was also a key factor for me."
The majority of the house is clad in white Palliside, but for textural contrast the owner asked Jennian Homes to face the remainder of the exterior in a Rockcote plaster, painted in Resene Quarter Tapa.
Besides finding the combination of plaster and weatherboards aesthetically pleasing, the owner was also impressed with the installation.
"Taylor Superclad achieved a great job, that showed meticulous attention to detail," he says.
This is not surprising, as John Lynn of Taylor Superclad often pairs up with Jennian Homes on projects. In total, he has installed Palliside weatherboards on more than 1000 homes.
"From my perspective, the low upkeep of this weatherboard system is a major advantage for our clients it only needs a light wash once a year, or even every few years. There is no rigmarole of scaffolding, paint and associated labour costs every few years so no ongoing expense.
"The Palliside Traditional weatherboard is most often used on classic homes as it offers the shadow lines and definition of bevel-back weatherboards. However, it translates well into contemporary designs, such as with this home."
Taylor Superclad has been working with Palliside weatherboards for more than 12 years. In all that time, there has never been any comeback on this product, Lynn says.
