Material Upgrade Options for Your Kit Home
We are constantly asked about material upgrades and customisation options for our kit homes. Choosing the right materials is crucial for ensuring durability, energy efficiency, and long-term value. Whether you’re looking to enhance aesthetics, improve insulation, or select bushfire-resistant materials, we offer flexible upgrade choices to suit your needs and site conditions.
Some common material upgrade requests include:
- Cladding options – Upgrade from standard weatherboard to Colorbond steel, composite panels, or rendered finishes.
- Frame materials – Choose between timber or steel frames, depending on factors like termite resistance, bushfire ratings, and climate conditions.
- Windows and insulation – Upgrade to double-glazed windows for energy efficiency or enhance insulation for better thermal performance.
- Flooring and roofing – Select premium options such as engineered timber flooring, Colorbond roofing, or tile alternatives.
Upgrades may affect cost and lead time, so it’s best to discuss your options early in the planning stage to ensure a smooth and cost-effective build.
