Timber cladding offers many benefits to both homeowners and building contractors, and its popularity has grown significantly as a result.

What is Cladding?

Cladding describes the application of layering one material over another to provide an external “skin” to a building. This external skin offers a degree of thermal insulation and weather resistance while also improving the building’s appearance. It does not refer to a specific material, and there are a number of materials you can use, with our favourite—and one of the most popular—being timber cladding.

Benefits of Timber Cladding

There are many benefits and a number of reasons why you should choose timber cladding over other materials, but we will provide you with our top 4:

  1. Environmentally Friendly: Timber is naturally renewable, reusable, biodegradable, and contains minimal embodied energy (the amount of energy required to extract, process, manufacture, and transport the material).
  2. Customisability: There are so many species of timber to choose from that the possibilities almost feel endless. We offer a wide range of species but take customisability a step further by offering many profiles to choose from, various types of treatment and grades, and the specific size required.
  3. Aesthetics: Timber is arguably the most gorgeous material you can use in construction. It can be extensively customised with a range of different finish options and will surely, in our opinion, always look far nicer covering the outside of a building as opposed to concrete or metal.
  4. Economics: The cost of timber cladding is very competitive. It is also easily cut to your unique specifications, ensuring minimal waste and no excess purchasing.
