Wall Cladding: TAUCO Insulating Weatherboard System
With testing reports according to AS/NZS and independent Certificate
The TAUCO Weatherboard system is a PU or Rockwool insulated Aluminium-Mg profile weatherboard, with PVDF colour coated to be used over timber framing or light gauge steel framing as an exterior cladding system.
TAUCO Weatherboard can be installed horizontally or vertically. Colorbond Insulating Weatherboards are also available.
Benefits:
• E2 VM1 FaçadeLab test report & certificate available
• Durable – low maintenance and fast installation
• R-value 0.69-0.87, good thermal Break for steel frame
• Performance inclusive of wind speed of 55m/s or SED
• NASH STANDARD compliant
• Superior weathertightness
• High impact resistance
• Free of harmful chemicals
• Reduce energy use
PROFILES: more options, contact our sales to discuss
The all flat panel has an R-value of 0.87. In a shaping forum, the narrow area has an R-value of 0.69.
BEAL R-value Test Results for TAUCO Weatherboard: Average 0.87

TAUCO Al-Mg Roof
TAUCO Al-Mg Roof is a premium roll-formed tray profile using 0.9-1.2mm BMT 5052 Aluminium coil with PVDF coating.
With TAUCO Thermal Clips, thermal expansion and cold contraction will not damage the roof panel at the screws fixing position. With the electric seaming machines, once correctly installed, the TAUCO Al-Mg Roof System has excellent weathertightness.
Profile Information
TAUCO Al-Mg Roof is available in a variety of widths with rib heights available from 25mm to 45mm, pan widths from 330mm to 420mm. And 420mm pan width is our most cost effective widths for manufacture and installation.
