For builders and the home owners alike, the benefits of choosing Envira timber weatherboards far outnumber fibre cement. At almost three times the weight of timber, fibre cement boards are more difficult to transport and manoeuvre into place and add a substantial extra amount of weight to a frame. This can cause issues, especially in TC3-zoned areas or for large or two-storey buildings. Timber performs well in these situations not only by weight but also its natural flexibility.
