Timber Cladding:

What Wood Do I Choose?

With so many different options available it can be difficult to know where to begin. On this page we will run through the different timber available, what its properties are and if its suitable for your job!

Style Options?

Our timber cladding is available in 7 styles and while a few are kept in stock the bulk are machined to order. Further down this page we will show you the available styles as well as the ones we keep on the shelf.

European Green Treated Redwood:

European redwood is green pressure treated to give a subtle finish while allowing the natural, medium density grain of the wood to show.

 

European redwood is a good quality, slow-grown timber which makes it very dense and therefore stable. Its low moisture content and open cell structure, makes this species ideal for protecting against decay and insect attack with pressure treatment which is easily absorbed.

 

Expected service life is 30 years (out of ground contact).

Canadian Western Red Cedar:

Canadian western red cedar features beautiful red, pink and brown tones making it a popular cladding choice on aesthetics alone. It can be left untreated to achieve a classic silver tone.

 

Canadian western red cedar’s durability is outstanding, being extremely resistant to insect attack, rot and decay, as well as resistant to splitting and movement once installed. Extremely stable with a very low shrinkage factor, western red cedar is resistant to warping and twisting.

 

Expected service life is 60 years (out of ground contact).

Imported Larch:

Imported larch has a consistent, soft gold colour. It is slow grown and therefore features a tight, straight grain. Imported larch is available in two different grades:

 

1. Unsorted grade is a higher end grade, allowing occasional small knots but many boards are free from defects

2. Sawfalling grade allows for more frequent, larger knots up to the size of a 50p piece.

 

Being slow-grown, imported larch is incredibly dense and stable.

Expected service life is 30-50 years (out of ground contact).

Imported Douglas Fir:

Douglas fir is a characterful timber which is a rich red-brown colour, but often features variations of pink, brown and cream depending on the cut of the tree. It includes knots and has a larger grain pattern which, added to the colour variations, makes Douglas fir a popular choice for timber cladding. Left untreated, it will weather to a stunning silver-grey colour.

 

Moderately dense and hard wearing, Douglas fir is known for its strength and durability. As a softwood, it is by nature resilient to fungal decay and insect attack. Douglas fir has a high resin content and can therefore be left untreated and still maintain durability over time.

 

Expected service life is 35 years (out of ground contact).

Thermowood®:

Thermowood® is thermally modified softwood which has been heat treated to over 200°C using a completely natural and non-toxic practice. This results in a product which has been especially engineered for cladding applications to achieve enhanced performance, while retaining the beauty of traditional timber.

 

Thermowood® contains minimal knots and has a warm, rich brown colour. If left untreated, Thermowood® will weather to a silvery grey, similar to cedar and larch.

 

Thermowood® is more stable than traditional timber, so it doesn’t bend, twist or warp. With minimal water absorption and less water content, Thermowood® is lightweight and very dry in nature which makes it resistant to decay, fungi and insect damage. In addition, being dry gives Thermowood® a very smooth finish for precision machining.

 

Expected service life is 30 years (out of ground contact).
