Weathertex cladding

Weathertex is an Australian-made external wall cladding manufactured from 97% natural hardwood timber and 3% food-grade wax—with no added resins, glues, or chemicals. It is one of the most environmentally sustainable cladding options available, offering natural aesthetics, BAL-rated fire resistance, and durability in harsh Australian climates.

Yes. Weathertex cladding is designed for Australian conditions and performs reliably in Melbourne’s variable climate. It is resistant to moisture, fungi, termites, and UV exposure, and is available in BAL-rated variants for bushfire-prone areas—making it a versatile choice for Melbourne’s diverse building locations.

Weathertex cladding is available in Melbourne through The Wall Store, an authorised Weathertex supplier at 2069 Princes Highway, Clayton. They stock Weathertex profiles for residential and commercial projects. Call 1300 925 578 or request a quote online.

Weathertex cladding is available in several profiles including Weathergroove (a smooth or woodgrain panel with V-groove joints), Selectively Grooved, and Weatherboard (horizontal lap-board style). Each profile offers a different aesthetic—from contemporary flat panels to traditional weatherboard looks—all made from the same natural hardwood composite.

Weathertex is made from natural hardwood composite and offers a warmer, more authentic timber aesthetic compared to fibre cement. It is lighter than fibre cement and contains no synthetic binders. Fibre cement (such as Innova) is generally more cost-effective for large areas and offers greater flexibility in painted finishes. Both are durable and fire-resistant—The Wall Store stocks both to help you compare.

Yes. Weathertex offers BAL-rated cladding products suitable for bushfire attack level (BAL) zones including BAL-12.5, BAL-19, BAL-29, and in some configurations up to BAL-40. This makes it a compliant and attractive option for properties in Melbourne’s outer bushfire-prone growth corridors.
