Since 1964, Weathertex has been the preferred cladding solution of many builders, architects and designers all over the world, by offering a wide range of high quality timber cladding; including weatherboards, architectural panels and wall shingles.

Massive investments have been made in Weathertex over many years in order to support production, improve painting facilities and introduce modern computerisation systems. 100% Australian family owned & operated and have consistently employed more than 100 local people for over 50 years.

Weathertex only uses PEFC certified state forest or private hardwoods from controlled sources. The logs are chipped, pulped and steam pressed with 3% natural wax to make Australian, eco-friendly timber products that are completely natural, with no glues, resins, formaldehydes or silica.

More than ever, consumers and specifiers want to rise above marketing ‘greenwash’ and are looking for transparency in their building products; whether it is to verify point of origin, understand environmental impacts, or because they want to eliminate exposure to toxic ingredients. Weathertex provides their customers with third party product accreditations such as Global GreenTag certifications, Product Health Declarations (PhD), Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)and the Living Future Institute’s Declare Label, which assists our customers to fully understand exactly what goes into our products.

Weathertex ticks all the boxes; it has a better than zero carbon footprint and they are the first manufacturing company globally to achieve a Platinum GreenTag certification on their Natural range.

Weathertex is also proud to have been voted Most Trusted Building Brand twice in a row in the Architecture & Design’s biennial ‘Trusted Australian Construction Industry Brands’ surveys.

Amazing consumer trust and commitment to quality and sustainability. These guys are a highly ethical company that are fast becoming recognised in Australia as well as around the world. Simon T
