When used for exterior cladding, cypress offers a sustainable and visually appealing alternative to other materials. Its natural oils protect it from weathering, rot, and insect damage, ensuring long-term performance even in harsh Australian climates. The timber’s light color and unique knot patterns add warmth and character to building facades, complementing both modern and traditional architectural styles. Cypress cladding is also stable, with low shrinkage rates, which minimizes warping or splitting over time.
