From the welcoming first step in the door to its backyard fence, this display home for first home buyers by Summit Home Group, carries a distinct attention to detail in achieving its contemporary luxe look and feel. Hand selected quality inclusions add a special touch and elevates all corners of the property, not only the home.
In a unique application that highlights the versatility of cladding, Territory Woodgrain Teak was used in place of a traditional backyard fencing material. A classic cladding option with a lifelike woodgrain texture, it is an innovative approach to fencing with a stunning organic look that complements the refined neutral grey tones and subtle details of the modern home.
The cladding unites a beautiful finish with durability; where other products can experience moisture issues, Territory Woodgrain Teak is durable in a landscape application.
“As a designer, I’m always searching for products that can achieve a certain look with longevity and minimal maintenance. The cladding is an excellent product for landscapes, combatting many of the issues with traditional fencing products while looking fantastic – clients love its look and finish!” says Peter Wilkinson, New Homes Design Manager for Summit Homes Group.

New materials influence the way buildings are defined. Cemintel is responding to the growing importance of external and internal cladding with the release of new prefinished ranges. These ranges respond to the preference for high performance, lightweight materials and the desire for buildings to enhance the environment where we live. From external façades to interior surfaces, these ranges are a reinterpretation of cladding as we know it.
It’s the future of building and it starts now.
An Idea Born From Imagination
The father of fibre cement, Ludwig Hatschek, started to imagine a new building material in 1894. He wanted a material that was lighter than brick, cheaper than slate and better than sheet metal.
In 1900, he achieved his breakthrough with a special mix of fibres, cement, pulp, air and water. The Austrian calls the world’s first industrially manufactured building material ‘Eternit’ and numerous European countries adopted the technology from 1903. Australia first introduced the technology in about 1917.
