Cladding

 Timber cladding gives designers, contractors and homeowners a range of practical, aesthetic and environmental benefits. Using cladding installed over exterior walls will shield them from all kinds of weather.
Timber is a natural material that gives cladding a wonderful, warm and eye-catching appearance that enhances the look of your home. Wood cladding uses a range of wood types and timber grades which create a spectrum of natural tones with its colour evolving as the timber weathers and ages.
Because timber cladding can be trimmed to any size it can into the designs of an architect and lends itself as a decorative feature. It can be stained or painted for a truly unique appearance.
As a durable product it is genetically designed to withstand different weather conditions and last for many years. If properly maintained, scuffs and chips will not be as noticeable on timber as they would be on cladding using another material.
Timber is naturally renewable material, leaving a tiny carbon footprint with less fossil fuels required to produce it compared to building materials such as concrete and steel. It is completely recyclable, making it one of the most environmentally friendly materials used for construction.
Cost per square metre of timber cladding is very competitive compared to other building materials. With the ability to be cut into specific lengths and profiles results in minimal waste. Timber cladding is also easy to install, which reduces overall on-site costs.
With superb insulation properties, wood cladding's thermal conductivity is far superior to steel and concrete. This means you will need less energy to heat or cool your building, which keeps its overall carbon footprint lower while saving the owner money over time.
