Our Timber Species for Cladding
-
British Western Red Cedar Cladding
Its distinctive colour makes Western Red Cedar instantly recognisable, but it can also be painted or stained to suit customer specifications. Its appearance, durability, stability and cost have made it the number one choice for cladding in the UK.
-
British Larch Cladding
The hardest, strongest and most durable of our native coniferous woods, British Larch can exhibit a lot of character in the timber. Our homegrown larch is a versatile, affordable and sustainable option that is popular for both traditional and contemporary buildings.
-
English Douglas Fir Cladding
Locally sourced from responsibly managed Sussex woodland, our top-quality Douglas Fir is perfect for cladding. The wood is usually a light to reddish brown with darker growth rings and a straight grain. English Douglas Fir is both strong and tough and offers excellent value for money.
-
European Oak Cladding
We offer a wide range of sawn and machined European Oak cladding to suit differing property styles and customer requirements. Oak’s durability and beauty, along with the minimal maintenance required, make it a worthwhile investment.
