Weatherboard House Extensions Melbourne

Weatherboard House Extensions: A Timeless Choice

Looking to expand your home while maintaining or enhancing its traditional aesthetic? Weatherboard house extensions offer the perfect balance between style, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. Whether you’re expanding a weatherboard or brick home, weatherboard extensions are highly versatile and can complement a variety of architectural styles, from Victorian to contemporary.

At Capital Building, we specialise in crafting high-quality weatherboard extensions in Melbourne that not only blend seamlessly with your existing structure but also add significant value and functionality to your home.

Advantages of Weatherboard Extensions

Weatherboard is a popular material for home extensions in Melbourne due to its many advantages:

Cost-Effective: Compared to other materials, weatherboard is an affordable option that still provides a high-end finish. It offers flexibility in design without breaking the bank.
Aesthetic Appeal: Weatherboard extensions add a classic, timeless look to any home, making them a favourite for traditional and modern homeowners alike. It can be painted in a range of colours, offering design versatility to suit your style.
Lightweight and Durable: Weatherboard is lightweight, which makes it easier and faster to install than other materials. Its durability means it can withstand Melbourne’s changing weather conditions, from heat to rain, without losing its appeal.
Sustainability: Modern weatherboard options include eco-friendly and sustainable choices, ensuring your home extension minimises environmental impact while enhancing insulation and energy efficiency.

Brick House with Weatherboard Extension

Combining Brick and Weatherboard: A Growing Trend:

If you own a brick home and are considering expanding, a brick house with a weatherboard extension is an excellent option. This combination is growing in popularity for its aesthetic appeal, offering the best of both worlds. Weatherboard complements the sturdy, traditional feel of brick while adding a fresh, modern look to your home’s rear or side extensions.

Capital Building specialises in seamlessly integrating weatherboard extensions with existing brick structures, ensuring that the two materials harmonise visually and structurally. Whether it’s a rear extension or an additional living space, we can tailor the design to meet your specific needs while maintaining the home’s cohesive look.

Amy B.

We worked with Capital for an extension of our single storey weatherboard house and they were great to work with from start to finish. Great communication with everyone in the team from design to handover and it’s clear that they care about doing a good job. We lived onsite throughout with our toddler and the whole crew were friendly and professional which made the process much easier. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner: Hi Amy, Great to hear you are enjoying your new extension and the process of building it. It was great to get to know you and your family throughout the Extension process. Best of luck for the future. CBC team.
