Many homeowners choose Palliside Cladding over other weatherboards and materials for exterior wall cladding because of the benefits they provide. With the superior finish of these weatherboards, homes can have the natural charm and appeal of timber minus the peeling, fading, powdering, rotting and termite attack and other problems that homeowners often encounter.
The NSW government has introduced legislation governing insulated cladding and in particular vinyl cladding with polystyrene insulation ( refer to the posting below ). At this point in time it only applies to buildings of two or more storeys, which encompasses all two storey homes at this time. Why single storey homes with cladding comprising of polystyrene insulation are not included, I suspect, is because of the sheer number involved.
Why Palliside Cladding is a better choice for your home than traditional Fibre Cement Cladding. There are many articles on the internet that say different things about which wall cladding solutions work best for Australian homes. This is a very complex debate to have, considering the kinds of environmental stresses that the average exterior wall is subjected to on a daily basis.
Aesthetics is one of the biggest concerns homeowners have when they start choosing wall-cladding systems for their houses. Two of the most popular options in the market are Palliside and timber external cladding, but only one of them can deliver the functionality to support the visual aesthetics they display.
The Australian climate has always presented homebuilders with various and unique problems that require both ingenuity and imagination to solve. Fortunately, we have both of those qualities in spades and can help people with whatever issues they may encounter with their homes and businesses.
One such innovation that we are trying to raise awareness about is Palliside cladding and its advantages over other similar solutions such as Colorbond Cladding.The first agenda that any decent cladding solution should address is insulation. There are very few in-betweens when it comes to the weather in Australia; it's either extreme heat in the summer or biting cold in the winter.

We have had a lot of work done to the house by Peter Bracey and team.
Peter exudes professionalism from initial meeting through supervision and completion of the job.
Steve and the rest of the team were punctual, reliable, friendly and did great work.
We had quite a few quotes before settling on Peter and the team because even though it wasn’t the cheapest quote, we felt the quality and the integrity of the business was worth the extra.
We are more than happy with how the house has transformed and would both employ Peter and team again and recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship

Peter and his team did a great job transforming our old 1940's fibro cottage and detached garage by installing new Palliside cladding and eaves, along with replacing all fascia, guttering and downpipes. Their quality workmanship was shown when navigating around all of the existing fittings & structures that are present on an old house.
Not only were they of high quality, Peter's tradesman worked efficiently completing a single storey 4 bedroom home and garage renovation in under 6 days which did not disrupt our home life too much.
Would highly recommend Peter's services if you are looking for

Extremely happy with the work Peter and his team have done, it's like we have a new home!
We had a large job - re cladding a two storey house, new windows, new gutters and eaves. The quality of work and attention to detail was beyond my expectations. Peter, Steve and the team know their work inside and out, nothing is too difficult and they take pride in the finished product.
They are very professional, always happy to answer questions and discuss options.
There were cheaper quotes available, but no comparison in the quality of materials. I'm very happy with our choice and the overall finished

We have had a lot of work done on our 1970's home. Cladding, guttering, down pipes, eaves, fascia, some windows changed and the roof restored. This process was professional with all rubbish removed on completion.
We were very happy with the results and contacted Peter and his team to further improve our home by changing the sun room windows. This proved to be a bigger job as there was structural damage (white ants) found when the job was commenced. This was a bigger job than anticipated but their advice and expertise was invaluable and we now have virtually a new sun room. A minor hiccup with

Peter and his team have completely transformed the look of our old fibro house. We had a complete external renovation - roof restoration, new guttering, fascias and down-pipes, cladding on the eaves and external walls, new windows including a large sliding door and a new awning on our rear deck. We are very happy with the end result. The products Peter uses are all good quality products. His team of builders are all polite, friendly and professional. They were always happy to answer any of my questions and all work was completed to a high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter

Peter is a knowledgable gentleman who knows his business and product, he was able to guide us in the selection process and with his input our home looks better than we expected.
Steve, Ray & Pete a dream to have around our house for 2 weeks, they were reliable, friendly and worked as cleanly as possible for the size of our job. These men are old school and if it needs doing they do it.
Very happy with the end result. Would highly recommend Peter Bracey Home improvements.

Since purchasing our home which is approx 50-60 years old we've undertaken many renovations and found customer service and quality can greatly vary between different companies. Once we met Peter we could tell instantly this was something he cared greatly about.
Peter set things in motion quickly and his foreman Steve was in touch right away. Both of them were always available for any questions, keeping us informed and his team were incredibly efficient. We would come home everyday and couldn't believe how much had been done.
We are on a busy road and reducing sound was crucial for us. Steve went

The results are amazing and we are so happy that we spent the

We built our new house 3 years ago. Peter and his team supplied and fitted all our cladding, windows, roofing, gutters, eaves, fascias and stack sliding doors. We could not be happier with the result. The team were professional and efficient. Peter made sure every aspect of the build was finished to the highest standard. We frequently have people knocking on the door to enquire about the products used on the house and we would recommend anyone looking to completely transform their home to call Peter.
