When you’re building a new home or extension, the right materials make all the difference. At Atlas Living, we use a smart combination of timber framing, James Hardie™ cladding, Hebel panels and steel roofing. These lightweight materials don’t just look great — they make your home more comfortable, efficient and enjoyable to live in every day.
A Quieter, More Comfortable Home
Lightweight construction works beautifully with modern insulation systems, helping to keep your new living space warm in winter and cool in summer. Hebel panels also add an extra layer of sound and thermal insulation, so whether you’re enjoying a movie night or a quiet cup of tea, you’ll feel more relaxed in your space.
Designed for South Australian Conditions
Steel roofing, James Hardie™ cladding and Hebel are all tough enough to handle our climate — from hot summers to sudden downpours. They’re resistant to pests, warping and rotting, which means less maintenance and more time enjoying your home.
Faster Move-In, Less Disruption
Because lightweight materials are quicker to build with, you can move into your new granny flat or extension sooner. That means less time waiting and more time enjoying the space you’ve been dreaming of.
A Better View from the Backyard
Your home should look as good from the back as it does from the front. With the clean lines of steel roofing, the modern finishes of James Hardie™ cladding, and the solid rendered look of Hebel, your extension blends seamlessly with your existing home. Hebel provides the premium appearance of masonry without the weight of traditional brickwork — creating a stylish backdrop to your backyard where you’ll love entertaining or relaxing outdoors.
A Smarter, More Sustainable Choice
Timber is a renewable material with naturally low embodied energy, and Hebel is made from readily available raw materials with lower environmental impact than many alternatives. Lightweight construction also requires fewer resources to transport and install. Choosing these materials is not just good for your lifestyle today — it’s also a choice you can feel good about for the future.
