Weatherboarding

"Overlapping horizontal timber or composite boards fixed to external walls. Traditional in Kent, Essex, and coastal areas; increasingly popular in modern extensions."

In detail

Softwood weatherboarding needs repainting every 3-5 years; modified timber (Accoya, Thermowood) and fibre-cement weatherboards last much longer. Use microporous paint systems that allow the timber to breathe.
