BGC Duraplank is designed and manufactured as a plank which is reminiscent of traditional weatherboards both in appearance and installation methods. BGC Duraplank is not subject to decay, rot or white ant damage and is non-combustible. The result is a safer, more durable cladding that requires minimum maintenance. BGC Duraplank is available with either a smooth finish or a wood grain texture for that authentic weatherboard look. In regards to the fire aspect of the product, it is able to be used in bush fire prone areas classified up to BAL 29.

Nuline is a unique weatherboard-style cladding system that looks like real timber weatherboard, but doesn't come with any of the headaches associated with natural timber weatherboard constructions. The Nuline joining system is quick and easy to install giving a seamless finish that looks good and lasts a lifetime. The quality of Nuline is demonstrated in its capability to be used in bush fire prone areas of up to a BAL 40.

BCG Stonesheet is Austech's recommended stone tile substrate and background for true masonry on timber or steel framed buildings. Stonesheet is a substrate for tile Suitable for interior and exterior use. A non structural substrate which is designed to take a maximum stone/tile façade weight of 40kg/m2
