Overview
The maintenance requirements for the exterior of a home depend on the materials used. Different types of cladding, such as cement-based or timber-based, have different behaviours and maintenance needs. Timber cladding tends to expand and contract more frequently than cement-based cladding.
Similarly, the frequency of repainting surfaces varies based on factors like sun orientation. For instance, a porch with overhead cover facing east may require less frequent repainting compared to a laundry door facing west without overhead cover.
Performing regular inspections, periodic maintenance, and cleaning is essential to increase the lifespan of a home and maintain its fresh appearance for years. It can also help prevent expensive repairs in the future.
To determine the specific maintenance requirements for each component of the home, it’s recommended to refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
