Do it yourself Exterior Wall Cladding from Austech


Duratuff Select Vinyl Cladding has been designed for easy installation by DIY enthusiasts and builders. Austech can provide you with a wide range of colours and quality accessories to make installation simpler or Austech can recommend a qualified installer in your area that can complete your cladding project.

Austech now has a comprehensive installation guide available for download from their website. 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.

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 provided useful tips on jointing boards to easily get a professional finish.

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

Austech can deliver Vinyl Cladding to all major Australian metropolitan areas and most regional areas. To see if DIY vinyl cladding is right for you, visit the austech website and download the installation guide, or contact your local Austech office.
