Timber Cladding
Description
Timber cladding is an increasingly popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings due to its aesthetic appeal, sustainability, and natural insulating properties. Cladding can transform the look of a building, providing a natural, rustic appearance that blends well with many architectural styles. Different types of timber are used for cladding, each offering unique characteristics.
We produce a wide range of cladding, mostly from Douglas fir and Larch but also in UK grown Western Red Cedar and European Oak if required. All of our products are sawn and machined to order. Typical cladding styles can be seen below.
