This Orewa family used clever budgeting and plenty of planning to build a bespoke beachside house for the price of a standard design
PROBLEM
A cost-effective cladding option was required due to budget constraints.
The home needed to be tough to withstand the wear and tear of family life.
The home’s position close to the coast called for products that would perform in harsh conditions.
SOLUTION
James Hardie Easylap and Axon panels helped achieve a quality look and feel without using more expensive products.
James Hardie Secura Interior Flooring is durable for family living and comes with an added acoustic benefit.
James Hardie HomeRAB Pre-cladding was used instead of building paper for its bracing and weather tight properties.
