Sydney Home Wall Cladding

Vinyl has a pro-rata warranty (USUALLY FROM USA OR CANADA) of which only the first 5 years are maybe guaranteed! Then its pro-rata (FEND FOR YOURSELF) and good luck.

Peter Bracey has specialised in quality external house cladding and external wall restoration systems in NSW since 1969. Re-cladding and updating  fibro/asbestos, aluminium, thin vinyl, polystyrene backed vinyl homes with Palliside UPVC weatherboard cladding in Sydney metropolitan area. Peter & Lesley Bracey Home Improvements are the only NSW approved wholesaler/installer of Australian made and engineered insulated Palliside UPVC weatherboard and eave cladding.

The trend of differing house cladding products like fashion they come and go. Aluminium was the fashion in 1970s but dented and faded. In the 80s imported vinyl cladding from the USA and Canada was all the rage but its short comings soon became apparent, through fading, warping, melting, brittleness, peeling off the walls in the wind. Even blue board a fancy name for AC cement sheeting was used and then rendered, but alas it cranked on the Sydney clay soil. The only product to stand the test of time has been Australian engineered and made Palliside UPVC weatherboards which are also used in new construction and are cyclone rated.

Insulated vinyl wall cladding in Sydney consists of Polystyrene foam glue to the back of a thin 0.05 - 1mm strip of vinyl. The foam varies in thickness from 12-25mm depending on the wall cladding selected. However the thickness varies over the profile of the vinyl to in some cases no foam backing. Where it covers the board completely on homes in Sydney it will result in damp wall syndrome because it prevents the condensation which builds up in winter and humid summer days from passing through the walls. As mentioned previously insulated Palliside has the insulation built into the cellular core and the air trapped between the insulated Palliside and the existing fibro or timber wall will also add additional R value, total R value estimated to be in excess of R2.5. Insulation is simply trapping air!

James Hardie cladding installed in Sydney has to be painted whereas Palliside UPVC 7 mm thick weatherboard cladding never has to be painted, comes in several colours, it will not fade, powder, warp, rot become brittle, its cyclone rated and has been designed and manufactured and installed in Sydney, Australia for the last 35 years. Palliside comes with a 25 year Australian guarantee.

Types of cladding being installed in the Sydney metropolitan area have varied greatly over the last 50 years as the short comings of particular types become apparent. Palliside UPVC weatherboard cladding has stood the test of time over 35 years of use in Australia. Palliside will not fade, powder, warp on the walls, peel off the walls in strong winds from a storm, become brittle and be hail damaged, rot or dent and it also has the added feature of insulating the house with its 7 mm thick cellular core.

Vinyl cladding prices vary greatly in the Sydney metropolitan area as the quality and thickness of the material determines the price. Vinyl cladding in Sydney can be between 0.5-1mm in thickness and can come in a variety of forms. Skin vinyl as used in the USA and Canada or with 12 mm polystyrene backing to endeavour to give it some strength or 30 mm thick polystyrene foam backing and all of the above foam backed vinyl  with a layer of foil sarking glued to it.

The vinyl cladding suppliers in Sydney use the thin vinyl. The vinyl varies in quality and thickness from 0.5-1mm in thickness and some times has polystyrene foam glue to the back to endeavour to give it some rigidity. This polystyrene foam can vary in thickness from12mm to 30 mm. Why not clad your house in an Australian made material that is engineered for the harsh Sydney climate? Palliside UPVC weatherboard is 7 mm thick and is also used in new construction and will not fade or warp like the vinyl cladding.

Vinyl siding has been imported from the USA and Canada and used to renovate houses in Sydney since the 1970s  for the purpose of eliminating the need  for painting, with limited success. It warps, fades, powders, becomes brittle, is subject to hail damage and strong winds peel it off the house walls because it is so flimsy, only 0.05-1mm thick and is only for decorative use and I reiterate with very limited success in Australia's climate.
