Changing the External Cladding of Your Kit Home
One of the benefits of choosing a kit home is the ability to customise certain elements to suit your needs. A common question from customers is whether the external cladding can be changed to a different material.
The good news is iBuild offers flexibility in cladding options, allowing customers to upgrade or modify materials based on their preferences and site requirements.
What Cladding Options Are Available?
iBuild provides a range of cladding options, including:
- Colorbond steel – Available in vertical or horizontal profiles for a modern, durable finish.
- James Hardie products – Options like Axon cladding, which offer a sleek, contemporary look.
- Timber or render-ready materials – Suitable for customers wanting a more traditional or custom-rendered finish.
If you are considering a cladding upgrade, it’s important to ensure that your chosen material meets any council requirements or Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) ratings for your site. iBuild can assist with standard options, and customers can discuss customisation further during the planning stage.
