Sustainability FAQS

What are the main Igredients of Weathertex?

Weathertex is 97% hardwood timber and 3% natural wax for water repellency. White acrylic primer is then applied to the surface.

The accessory products are made from a range of materials including Polycarbonate/ ABS Alloy (PC/ABS), aluminium and galvanised steel.

Weathertex joiners are designed to match their relevant range and profile and make joining Weathertex cladding easy, while creating a strong join that also allows for timber contraction and expansion. Concealed joiners are a different option that minimises the appearance of the joiner by sitting behind the cladding.

Is Weathertex a safe product to use?

Weathertex has similar properties to most natural wood products. Made from 97% hardwood timber and 3% wax, Weathertex is Low VOC and has no Silica, Gles, resins or Formaldehyde. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is available in accordance with Worksafe Australia Guidelines and the following statement is made in the MSDS. Weathertex is a reconstituted wood product made from wood, and wax. Exposure to wood dust may cause irritation to the eyes, respiratory system and skin, and may cause sensitisation by inhalation resulting in asthma, and by skin contact resulting in dermatitis. In addition, inhalation of wood dust may cause cancer. Worksafe Australia has established Exposure Standards for wood dust, based on the known health effects. Levels of wood dust must be kept below these Exposure Standards.

Why should I choose Weathertex?

Weathertex is the preferred cladding manufacturer by many builders, architects and designers all over the world, with history dating back to 1939. 100% Australian owned, Weathertex offers a wide range of high quality timber cladding, made using only PEFC certified state forest or privately sourced hardwoods. The logs are chipped, pulped and pressed with 3% natural wax to make Australian eco-friendly, timber products that are completely natural with no chemical additives. Weathertex’s ‘better than zero carbon footprint’ means that more carbon is stored in the timber used to make Weathertex than is produced during its manufacture. Weathertex is unmatched at this price-point in terms of its eco-sensitivity.
