Hi elinitha, this will be the laminex impression decor 'weathered oak' which has both visual (white ingrained) and tactile texture. It will be used horizontally in a beach house. This colour I would recommend your timber feature also, as it looks natural, as in no staining or lacquered aesthetic, and as a finished product, no maintenance, fading and is more durable than a genuine timber product.

Yay, so after 30 years my house is back in fashion again!!! I don't like panelling everywhere, but I really don't see anything wrong with some as a feature, and the best part is that it handles knocks, is easy to keep clean and NEVER needs painting. Why does "practical" have to be trendy??

I realise this is an old post . I am wanting to do the same thing and weathered boards are not thin enough. I was also told by the distributer weathered don't guarantee if you stain them dark. What did you use in the end?

Hey there! I stumbled upon this old post and just wanted to chime in with some simple tips for improving solar panel efficiency. Definitely agree with setting up a concentrator and cleaning them regularly. Another thing to consider is the angle of the panels, make sure they're in the best position to catch the most sun. And yeah, hiring a pro to set everything up is always a good idea. Keep in mind that distributed energy systems can also be an option, where the energy is generated and used locally.
