Weatherboard homes can be painted in virtually any colour you can imagine, providing the ultimate flexibility to personalise the exterior of your home. ![Weatherboard home](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images%20/Completed%20Homes/IMG_4772%20edited.jpg?width=640&name=IMG_4772%20edited.jpg "Weatherboard home") #### **Timber Cladding** For those preferring a more rustic look and feel, timber cladding is an excellent choice.  Homeowners who like the idea of adding a unique feature to the exterior of their home can easily do so by incorporating timber cladding.   ![Timber clad home](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images%20/Stock%20Images/shutterstock_618199577.jpg?width=640&name=shutterstock_618199577.jpg "Timber clad home") #### **Colourbond Cladding** If you prefer a more modern look for your home's exterior, colourbond steel cladding is a finish that's hard to beat. Not only does this material come in a variety of colours and profiles, it is extremely durable and low maintance.  ![Colourbond clad home](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images%20/Completed%20Homes/Somerset%201.jpg?width=640&name=Somerset%201.jpg "Colourbond clad home") #### **Cement SHEET Cladding** For those looking for a contemporary or industrial look, cement sheet cladding is an ideal choice. This type of cladding requires very little maintenance and if desired, homeowners can paint the cladding to provide an even more striking appearance. ![Cement Sheet Home ](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images%20/Completed%20Homes/Cube%205%20Display%20Zoomed.jpg?width=640&name=Cube%205%20Display%20Zoomed.jpg "Cement Sheet Home ") #### **Mix and Match** Many homeowners decide upon a mixture of materials for their home's exterior.  Cement and colourbond cladding blend exceptionally well together as do timber and cement sheet - the combinations are endless!   ![Home Cladding Options ](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Images%20/Stock%20Images/shutterstock_314547320.jpg?width=640&name=shutterstock_314547320.jpg "Home Cladding Options ") At Swanbuild, we have a team of home design experts who are on hand to help design the home you've always dreamed of.
