DIY Friendly Cladding from Austech External Building Products

Duratuff Select Vinyl Cladding is the ultimate solution for your next project. The eye-catching exterior 

cladding is engineered to withstand the toughest conditions as it comes with a 50 year guarantee and has 

been designed for easy installation by DIY enthusiasts and builders. Austech Building Products can provide 

you with a wide range of colours and quality accessories to make installation simpler or alternatively we can 

recommend a qualified installer in your area that can complete your cladding project.

Austech now has a comprehensive installation guide 

available for you to download. The guide covers 

everything you need to successfully install vinyl cladding, 

including:

·         Measuring for materials.
·         Surface preparation.
·         Installing siding, fascia and Soffit.
·         Cladding around windows and doors.
·         Cladding gable ends.
·         Installing trim at the roof line.
·         Cladding maintenance and cleaning.

Vinyl weatherboards can be used to clad a whole house, but they are also ideal for home alterations like 

second story additions, extensions, garages and repairs to damaged cladding. Since vinyl cladding comes in 

a wide range of UV-protected colours, there is no need to go back and paint, making it ideal for hard to 

reach areas and maintenance free design.


Vinyl cladding is light weight so two people can comfortably install the product. Vinyl Cladding’s lightweight 

design also contributes to faster build time and less need for structural support. Duratuff’s added lightweight

 foam backing also adds rigidity, making it easier to install while improving your homes energy efficiency.


Austech can supply vinyl boards up to 8m long to avoid excessive joins and produce a seamless look to your

 vinyl siding project. The installation guide also provides useful tips on joining boards to easily get a 

professional finish.


With offices Australia wide, we can service any call, so contact the team at Austech today on 9831 1623 to
