Aliclad is a versatile cladding and soffit system tailored for residential applications, providing a sleek, modern ‘weatherboard’ finish for external walls and soffits. This system is aimed at homeowners, builders, and developers who want a durable exterior that requires minimal upkeep.
By choosing Aliclad, property owners and developers can avoid the time and cost involved with painted pine or stained timber weatherboards, which are prone to wear and tear of New Zealand’s harsh climate.
The Evolution of Aliclad
The Aliclad product line was developed by The Building Agency as a natural progression from the success of the AliClad Max Commercial cladding system. The goal was to offer a high-performance, easy-to-install cladding solution adapted to the needs of residential builders.
Aliclad retains the durability and quality of the commercial product while ensuring compatibility with standard residential construction methods.
Key Benefits
- Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional timber weatherboards, Aliclad does not require frequent painting or staining. Its aluminium composition provides long-lasting resistance to weathering, reducing maintenance costs over the lifespan of the building.
- Durable and Resilient: The system is crafted from high-quality aluminium, offering excellent durability and weather resistance. Aliclad is well-suited to New Zealand’s challenging environmental conditions, from coastal exposure to intense sun and heavy rain.
- Modern Aesthetic: With its sleek, contemporary design, Aliclad enhances the appearance of any home. The system provides a clean, modern finish that complements a variety of architectural styles, adding both aesthetic value and curb appeal.
- Easy Installation: Aliclad has been designed with residential builders in mind, simplifying the installation process. This product is compatible with typical residential building practices, which can help reduce installation time and associated labour costs.
- Environmental Benefits: As a long-lasting aluminium product, Aliclad offers an environmentally friendly alternative to timber, which requires regular maintenance and may eventually need replacement. Aluminium’s recyclability also contributes to a more sustainable building solution.
