Need to look this material up... 10. Polycarbonate and translucent panels Many homeowners may draw a connection between polycarbonate sheet, and products such as Laserlite, the corrugated sheet that you may see over pergola beams. However, there are more sophisticated versions of microcell sheets available, including Danpalon Glazing Systems. These are light-emitting, easy to install and have free thermal movement. The system gives your home privacy during the day and ambience at night. If you require light and privacy, this could be your solution.
6. Shadowclad Often seen in coastal and more economical builds, Shadowclad plywood panels have become a staple of many renovations and new homes on a budget. It is a natural wood that is sustainably sourced, and is lightweight so it is easy to handle during the build. Consider using as a ‘background’ material and spend more on a feature material, or use for a bold statement all over. The Shadowclad plywood on this beach house has a black stain/oiled finish.
4. Scyon Linea weatherboard James Hardie released this product a few years ago and it is a favourite when a durable material with the charm of hardwood weatherboards is needed. As Scyon Linea is a cement product, it is resistant to termites, has terrific acoustic and thermal performance when compared to hardwood, and comes pre-primed so it’s easy to paint. The boards don’t need to be painted as often as weatherboards so they are also low maintenance. Scyon Linea comes in classic and more modern profiles to suit many different applications.
3. Hit and miss In this Turramurra home, Steele Associates has used a hit-and-miss pattern to create a structural wall that also provides a screening and textured effect. Additional texture is created with a bagged brick wall (to the left) that edges the property. Bagging is the application of a mixture to smooth a brick wall, while not concealing the irregularity and texture of the bricks. A Guide to Bagging Brick Walls
There are some beautiful Breeze blocks around now that could also be incorporated. 6. Screen wall blocks It may remind you of your nan’s 1950s home, but dedicated modernists are happy to not only restore original concrete blocks but introduce brand new ranges to properties. They are perfect as a feature wall at the front of the house, or even as a fence border – as long your neighbours have a similar taste.
We don't have to do timber coloured fence - black or even white washed depending on our scheme.
