Wider Bolder
Endless Designs
Akera Shiplap Weatherboard is a premium fibre cement cladding designed to give you the freedom to design your facade your way.
Developed in response to demand for wider profiles, Akera offers 200 mm and 300 mm boards with single-groove or double-groove designs. Profiles can be mixed to create unique patterns and striking visual depth.
Wider boards deliver fewer joins and cleaner lines, perfect for large-scale projects, while narrower profiles bring balance and rhythm to residential and terrace homes. Whichever profiles you choose, installation remains straightforward and efficient.
Suitable for vertical installation, it offers clean lines, subtle shadow effects and a modern look across a wide range of projects.
Manufactured at 12 mm thick, Akera is built for strength and stability. As a fibre cement weatherboard, it provides reliable resistance to fire, water and rot, delivering long-term durability suited to New Zealand conditions.
Each board is factory-primed for protection and finished with a fine sanded texture, ready to be painted in the colour of your choice for a clean, consistent finish.
