The Azalea 247 banner

Stroud Homes Builders tailor their home designs to suit different locations, ensuring each one is ideal for the nuances of its environment.

Designed specifically for the Sunshine Coast, this Stroud Homes’ Display Home, The Azalea 247, combines striking geometric shapes with a natural timber look to create a contemporary, luxe aesthetic.

Featuring a lifelike woodgrain texture, Territory Woodlands Teak is a classic cladding option to achieve a timber look with minimal maintenance. Applied externally to the front facade and sides of the home, the cladding’s inviting organic tone balances minimalist strong black panels.

Stroud Homes endeavours to realise their customer’s home design aspirations, while balancing the practicalities of each property’s location and environment. The ease of the cladding means there is minimal upkeep, allowing customers more time to enjoy their stunning home and the beautiful outdoor surroundings.

“While the timber-style look is beautifully suited to the gorgeous Sunshine Coast, real timber is difficult to maintain with the coastal weather. Cemintel’s cladding allows us to easily bring this beautiful style to our homes so our customers can build the home they truly want, wherever they are,” says Daniel Chapman, Director of the Sunshine Coast Stroud Homes.

  • It can be manufactured in numerous panel sizes and thicknesses.
  • It can be cut into various shapes and patterns.
  • It can be compressed for high strength applications.
  • It can be used in acoustic systems.

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.
