No matter where you live, weekends are precious. For this reason, low-maintenance building materials have a lot of appeal.

The owners of the Whangarei house featured on this page, the Davis family, say lifestyle factors were a significant reason for their choice of Palliside cladding. Diane Davis says a low-maintenance product that would never need painting was essential.

"Being by the sea with extremes of weather, it would have been a lot of work maintaining a painted finish," she says. "With Palliside cladding, there is virtually no maintenance. This means we can enjoy our leisure time with the family."

Another reason the weatherboards were chosen was the couple's desire for a home with a classic look that wouldn't date. Cost-effectiveness was another factor influencing the decision.

Palliside is available in two profiles: Rusticated, in either a smooth or new Woodgrain finish, and Traditional, a bevel-backed profile with a smooth finish.

To reassure homeowners of Palliside's durability, it comes with a 25-year manufacturer's warranty.
