Thank you both for your professionalism and responsiveness on the Myocum job. The finished Weathertex sheets looked fantastic and having them prefinished through QC Architectural was absolutely the best decision. Will definitely be using you again and recommending this to future clients.

Browse the range below and enquire directly through each product page.
What Are Prefinished Building Materials?
Prefinished means the coating is applied before the material reaches site. Done in a controlled factory environment using accredited coating systems, every board or sheet is finished to specification before it leaves the facility.
For builders and architects, that means no waiting on painters, no weather delays and no inconsistent results between batches. Materials arrive ready to fix, with warranties backed by accredited coating partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to common questions about our coatings, processes, and partnerships
Where are you located and do you service nationally?
We are based in Carole Park, Queensland. Yes, products can be delivered to construction sites and supply partners nationally.
Can I supply my own materials for coating?
Yes. Manufacturers, distributors and builders can supply their own substrate and we will apply factory coating systems to specification. Timber, fibre cement, plywood and aluminium are all accepted.
Do you coat trims, fixings and accessories to match?
Yes. We coat everything required to complete a full cladding system. Nails, screws, aluminium angles, plastic trims and other accessories can all be finished to match the primary product, so everything that goes on the wall is consistent from the cladding to the last fixing.
What coating systems do you use?
Water based, oil based, solvent based and 2K fluoropolymer. If it goes on timber, fibre cement, plywood or aluminium, we are set up to apply it.
Do your products come with a warranty?
Yes. All factory applied coatings are applied by accredited applicators using approved systems. Warranty terms vary by product and coating system and will be confirmed at the time of order.
How do I place an order or get pricing?
Get in touch with your requirements and we will respond within one business day. Provide profile, quantity in lineal metres or square metres, desired finish and colour, and whether you are supplying timber or would like us to source it. We return quotes fast so you can keep your project moving.
What are your typical lead times?
Lead times depend on the process. Pre-oiling is generally 3 to 5 days. Vacuum coated finishes are 10 to 14 days. Custom 2K panel finishes are 14 to 21 days. As a rule, allow a minimum of 14 days from receipt of goods. Lead times may extend during peak periods.

- Priming — 1,000 lineal metres
- Sanding and calibration — 1m²
Orders under a set amount are subject to a $120 setup fee.
