It is the application of one material over another to provide a skin or layer intended to control the infiltration of weather elements. Usually this term has different meaning depending on the materials used and the accepted standard in each industry.

They can be fixed to all kinds of underlying material such a brick. The slight downside is that weatherboard requires ongoing maintenance to stay in a good condition.
