The versatility of Cemintel's exterior cladding options allows for an alluring mix of textures and shades. The Mosman display home from Gilchrist Homes features Territory Woodlands Teak, Barestone Original and Edge Oxford cladding.

Emerging as a material of choice in regional areas, Cemintel has experienced a rise in popularity due to its durability in harsher weather conditions and versatility in the range of options available. Matthew Gilchrist, Director of Gilchrist Homes, has been building with CSR products for over three years, and explains some of the reasons behind the surge of interest.

Established with the aim of providing affordable, highend, sustainable homes to people in regional areas, such as Albury Wodonga, Gilchrist Homes takes an innovative approach to building with energy efficient, aesthetically pleasing materials. This led them to Cemintel.

Our customers often prefer sustainable finishes with a luxurious look that also fits within their budget, and we find CSR products fit that brief.

Their innovative display home, the Mosman, was the first in the area to feature Cemintel and stood out amongst other homes, winning the 2022 Master Builders' Association NSW Riverina award for Best Display Home between $450,000 - $750,000 and generating much interest in the finishes they were using. The Mosman features Territory Woodlands Teak, Barestone Original and the Edge Cladding in Oxford 150mm V-Groove.

We are always looking for new products to work with that offer a point of difference to our customers. Cemintel offers the opportunity to approach each home individually and bring together different design elements to create something truly special.

Creating beautiful homes that last is a key driver behind the philosophy at Gilchrist Homes, and as Matt explains, at the heart of this is intelligent build practises. The beauty of Cemintel is the time you save not only on the prefinished product but also on maintenance costs.
