insulators.
Timber Cladding Supplier in Wales
Many different species of wood are suitable
for exterior timber cladding because of their natural resistance to decay.
Traditional British timbers such as oak, elm, sweet chestnut, western red cedar
and larch have been used as timber cladding for hundreds of years to protect
houses from the elements. Imported timbers such as Canadian western red cedar and
Siberian larch are increasingly being specified for cladding where a more
modern, contemporary appearance is desired.
The various timber species we offer for
cladding are available in a range of profiles from the more rustic
waney-edge and feather-edge to the clean lines of machined shiplap and halflap.
Within this section you will find a
wealth of information about selecting timber cladding species, board dimensions
and profiles. You will also find pricing information to help you cost your
cladding project as well as advice and diagrams to help you fix the boards

Timber Cladding
Timber cladding is more popular than ever
– but how do you get it right? Our guide reveals all
Which Timber is Best?
Western redcedar is among the most
popular softwoods used today. Aside from its relatively knot-free, ‘clean’
appearance, this softwood has a natural resistance to decay and moisture
absorption, meaning it can typically be installed without treatment. It’s also
the most stable of the softwoods, subject to little movement when installed.
If you did hope to apply a finish,
its low resin content means it can be readily stained or painted. Added to this
is the fact it can be worked to create a variety of profiles. But one downside
is that it has a comparatively low density, which means it can be dented if
knocked. It is imported from Canada and sometimes America, but increasingly grown
here too (check the durability of the latter which can be a little lower than
that of imported).
Whole life costing – Timber cladding
Timber cladding is an attractive and
sustainable option
for external walls.
commonly available options and their whole life costs.
Introduction
Increasingly timber cladding is specified as the weathering envelope for walls.
Timber is renewable, reusable, biodegradable and it has minimal embodied
energy. This should be balanced against transport costs, the need to use
chemical preservatives for some timbers and a shorter service life than
material such as masonry.
There are many reasons why timber deteriorates, but the main cause of failure
is fungal decay where moisture content within timbers is in excess of 20%.
BS EN 335 classifies the in-service environment for timber into five hazard
classes to enable specifiers to assess how likely timber is to deteriorate in a
given situation. External timber cladding is in Use Class 3 because its
moisture levels frequently exceed 20%. This means some timber species will
require preservative treatment. BS 8417, which covers the preservation of
timbers, draws on a suite of European standards to enable selection of timbers
and the type of preservative treatment necessary, for design service lives of
60, 30 or 15 years in different hazard classes.
• Timber’s natural durability is determined to BS EN 350
• The need for treatment for different Use classes is determined to BS EN 460.
• BS EN 351-1 defines the penetration and retention needed to give a desired
service life with a preservative treatment to BS EN 599.
The heartwood of timbers which are classed as ‘durable’, and ‘moderately
durable’ do not need preservative treatment for external wall cladding. Timbers
that are classified as ‘slightly durable’ do require preservative treatment.
All sapwood require treatment.
Timbers not requiring preservative treatment
Western
red cedar is a ‘durable’ timber from North
America. It may be coated with oil to maintain its appearance, with the
associated regular costs of recoating.
European
Larch is ‘moderately durable’. UK-grown larch, larch from
Siberia or regions where trees are slow-growing and older than 60 years have a
similar expected service life with a similar age and growth pattern. The
density of larch is between 470 kg/m˛ and 650 kg/m˛ at 12% moisture content.
This gives larch a better resistance to impact compared with western red cedar,
which has a density of 330-390 kg/m˛.
Douglas
fir from North America is ‘moderately durable’. However. BRE
Digest 494 recommends that UK-grown Douglas fir be classified ‘slightly
durable’ and given preservative treatment.
European
oak is a ‘durable’ hardwood. Oak is more expensive and needs
to be specified carefully to minimise its tendency to warp. Shorter lengths are
recommended as well as fixing shortly after being cut at the sawmill. Hardwoods
may require fixing with screws through pre-drilled holes, which increases
installation costs.
Timbers requiring preservative treatment
Spruce,
Fir and Pine: These non-durable species require
preservative treatment. Typically this will be by pressure impregnation of
chemicals with preservative properties such as boron or organic solvents.
Thermally
modified timber is an alternative to chemically
treated timber. A controlled heat treatment to temperatures over 200°C confers
improved durability and stability to timber, typically European redwood (Pinus
sylvestris).Expected service life for thermally modified, uncoated timber
cladding is 30 years.
Lodgepole
pine from Canada is a ‘moderately’ to ‘slightly durable’
softwood, which is treated with preservative and coated in a high-performance
paint system at the manufacturing plant. Expected period to first maintenance
is 15 years and there after every 3 – 5 years.
European
whitewood is a generic term that includes
spruce and fir. These are ‘slightly durable’. Preservative treatment is
required to give a service life 5 to 10 years. With a well-maintained paint
system expected lives can be extended to up to 30 years.
Durability issues
Design strategies can enhance durability by reducing the risk of wetting and
removing moisture promptly:
• Protect from rainwater with large eaves overhangs
• Terminate the cladding at least 150mm above ground levels, preferably 250mm
• Ensure cladding is not directly in contact with porous materials
• Include a well ventilated and drained cavity behind the cladding. This should
be at least 19mm wide
• Moisture content of the timbers should be between 13 – 19% , less for
heat-treated timber
• Seal end grain
• Allow sufficient gap between cladding sections to prevent capillary paths;
5mm is recommended
• Use stainless steel fixings
The Timber Research and Development Association and BRE provide detailed good
practice guidance.

resistant to decay, as well as resistant to splitting and movement once fitted.
Canadian Western Red’s Colour
When first installed, this timber
cladding is a warm reddish-brown colour. If left untreated, it turns the
classic silver colour over a number of years, depending on how much direct
sunlight it receives.
Red Cedar’s Service Life
With regards to durability, Red
Cedar, without any form of treatment, has been known to last up to 60 years!
Cedar Cladding Quality
Timber Focus Western Red Cedar is
machined to order. The grade, “Clear and Better” is the highest grade of cedar
that we can source. There are virtually no knots and if there are any, they
will only be small.

Timber Cladding Profiles
Timber Focus offers 10 different
cladding profiles.
From our range, the Tongue and Groove
machined profiles are the most popular timber cladding, particularly ICW1,
closely followed by Rainshield. The machined profiles give a modern look to a
traditional material. The machined profiles are supplied in lengths between 2
and 4 metres.
The fresh sawn Feather Edge profiles
allow for your choice of overlap and are therefore the most flexible at the
time of fitting. This cladding is supplied in lengths of 2.44m (8′) and longer.
Western Red Cedar Pricing
For the benefits it offers, this
timber is very competitively priced. If you click the price comparison button,
you’ll see that there are cheaper timbers available, but none of them have the
durability of the cedar.

Timber Cladding
With timber being increasingly
specified as the material of choice for exterior and interior cladding, we
would like to show you some of the great range that Timber Focus can offer.
Timber Focus offers a range of timber cladding providing an attractive,
versatile and durable external finish. With its excellent environmental credentials timber is increasingly becoming first choice for cladding.
Why use Timber for Cladding?
Appearance
Not only does it look good, enhancing the external appearance of any building,
it makes it more interesting and pleasing to the eye. The versatility of timber
means it can be produced to almost any requirement. With ageing and weathering,
timber gradually changes colour to an attractive silver-grey. Alternatively it
can be treated
or stained to individual taste.
Durability
Some hardwoods and softwoods such as Western Red Cedar, Larch and Douglas Fir
are naturally resistant to decay. Less durable species such as European Redwood
can be preservative treated to prolong life in service.
Performance
Along with durability and a long service life, timber cladding’s natural
properties offer improved acoustic and thermal conductivity performance.
Timber cladding is attractive,
versatile, environmentally friendly, allows for great creativity, flexible in
design and can be used for any scale of project.
Every branch of Timber Focus , along with its timber division, Timber Focus was awarded
Chain of Custody certification through BM TRADA-TRAK in November 2018. This enables us to offer you fully
certified FSC® and PEFC on an ever increasing range of products, and covers
softwoods, hardwoods, sheet materials and engineered wood products.
Our Chain of Custody certification underlines Timber Focus’s commitment to the
environment. The company continues to work with all suppliers with the aim of
expanding this portfolio, and is fully committed to the Responsible Purchasing
Policy.
At Timber Focus our stocked claddings
are from European Redwood (Pine) or European Whitewood (Spruce), but from time
to time the Architect may specify a more specialised species of timber cladding
like Western Red Cedar, Siberian Larch or Thermowood. Taking this into
consideration we would like to give you an insight into all these alternatives,
explaining the features of each.
Scandanavian Softwood Cladding
European Redwood and Whitewood are perfectly suitable
for interior cladding and external cladding when treated with timer
preservative, paint of stain.
Western Red Cedar
WR Cedar is usually imported from Canada, and is
available either Kiln Dried or Green (sometimes referred to as Air Dried) and
is mainly used for Shiplaps, Channel Cladding, Tongue, Grooved and ‘V’-jointed
Matching or PAR. You can also get a British Grown alternative version that will
be predominately Fresh Sawn, which is faster grown and is mainly used for
Featheredge or Waney Edge Boards. One of the prominent features of WR Cedar is
its colour variability ranging from cream through salmon pink to dark chocolate
brown and all shades in-between, it may also alternate from light to dark zones
across the board. This colour will fade over time to a silver-grey colour when
exposed to moisture and ultraviolet light; this is often referred to as
weathering ±.
Because these products are Durable no further
treatment will be required, the exception would be for Fire Retardant
treatments such as Non-Com or Dri-Con (or alternatives like Fire-X and
FirePro). ± To reduce the silver-grey colouring effect of moisture and
ultraviolet light an application of a surface finish that includes a pigment,
which may be translucent or opaque, will help maintain the natural colour
longer. An opaque finish will provide the best protection. This will need to be
part of on-going planned maintenance performed on the cladding.
Siberian Larch
Larch is usually imported from Siberia to Mongolia
and Northern China, and is available Kiln Dried and is mainly used for
Shiplaps, Channel Cladding, Tongue, Grooved and ‘V’- jointed Matching or PAR.
You can also get a British Grown alternative version that will be predominately
Fresh Sawn which is faster grown and is mainly used for Featheredge or Waney
Edge Boards. Due to the high resin content it needs to be dried slowly, the
loss of resin can still happen even after installation. Because it is prone to
splitting it is advisable to pre-drill pilot holes for any fixings (especially
near to the edges and ends of the boards), which are recommended to be
stainless steel to help avoid rust stains.The heartwood of the Larch is pale
red-brown to brick red in colour, with clearly marked annual rings. This
contrasts sharply from the sapwood that is narrow and lighter-coloured. This
colour will fade over time to a silver-grey colour when exposed to moisture and
ultraviolet light; this is often referred to as weathering ±.
Thermowood
Thermowood D Redwood and Thermowood D Whitewood are
mainly used for Shiplaps, Channel Cladding, Tongue, Grooved and ‘V’-jointed
Matching or PAR. Thermowood has a dark appearance and the aroma of burnt wood,
this is a consequence of the high temperature the timber is subjected to (up to
212°C). The process causes the timber to become brittle and it may also have
some end splits, face checks (especially down the pith), and some
cracked/broken knots. This colour will fade over time to a silver-grey colour
when exposed to moisture and ultraviolet light, this is often referred to as
weathering ±.

When Timber Focus timber cladding is
uncoated, it will weather over time to a beautiful shade of silver-grey,
providing a subtle, natural look which blends in to the natural environment.
All external building materials
change over time, and wood is no exception. As it is a highly durable building
material, cladding boards are expected to last for over 50 years but, during
this time, the wood will age or, as it is known in the industry, weather. This
weathering process will change the surface appearance of the boards and,
potentially, the overall look of the building.
timber, irrespective of species, will
eventually weather when exposed to its natural environment. As long as this is
understood by architects, builders and clients, it can be considered as part of
the overall project rationale.
The weathering process
When timber is exposed outdoors
without a protective coating the surface undergoes rapid changes to both its
appearance and its texture, as a result of exposure to both sunlight and
moisture.
The first observable effect is often
a temporary brown staining, as extracts in the timber rise to the surface where
they oxidise. Sunlight then photo-degrades the wood surface and, along with
moisture, enables stain fungi to grow and the timber surface to grey. The shade
of grey will vary according to the duration and intensity of wetting. In
parallel with this, the surface of the timber will roughen, with some check
marks likely to appear. These effects, which are the result of sunlight, water,
mechanical forces and heat, characterise the process of weathering.
It is important to note that
weathering is a normal and healthy process in timber, and should not be
confused with the fungal decay, which can sometimes be observed in timber
cladding which has been incorrectly installed. Fungal decay is the result of
extended periods of wetting, which have allowed fungi to break down the timber.
Timber, when correctly detailed, will
weather beautifully, with its appearance varying dependent on the quantity of
moisture on the surface (when it is wet, the timber will appear darker in
colour).
Factors influencing weathering
Building location
In areas of high rainfall some
timber cladding installations can turn grey in just a few months, whilst in
drier areas the process is likely to be slower. Similarly, south-west facing
walls weather relatively fast, due to their exposure to sunlight, whereas north
facing walls tend to weather more slowly, but uniformly.
Building design
The design of a building also
determines how it will weather, as the form and shape influences the impact
that wind-driven rain will have on it. For example, buildings without eaves
tend to get wettest at the top, particularly at the outer corners, so this may
result in these areas weathering more quickly than other parts of the wall. If
there are eaves then uneven weathering can occur (unless the eaves shelter the
entire wall) as sunlight will be unable to reach the areas under these eaves.
There may also be areas which, due to
the design of the building, are subject to splashing – this can also lead
to the wood weathering faster in these areas.
Over time, the entire building (unless
completely sheltered from the elements) will weather to the same colour, and
will remain the same silver-grey colour for years to come
Timber species
As all Timber Focus cladding species
are naturally durable, they can all be left to weather and will end up as a
consistent shade of grey (unless the orientation or design of the façade
prevents this). The only exception to this is Accoya® wood;
which we would recommend vacuum coating in
all instances.
Different species will weather at
different rates, and result in slightly different shades, dependent on their
durability and density properties. For further information about a particular
species, please go to the product pages or speak to our technical team.
Prevention of weathering
Timber weathering is often viewed as
a very attractive characteristic of timber cladding as it demonstrates that the
product is natural and, over time, the silver-grey shade will allow the
building to blend into its environment. The only way to avoid weathering is to
apply a clear or coloured coating to the timber, which will require to be re-applied every few years over
the life of the timber. Clear coatings will preserve the original colour of the
timber, whilst coloured coatings can be applied in a colour of your choosing.

How to use Timber Cladding
Effectively
Timber cladding has become a popular
material with architects, designers and construction companies. It creates
economic, sustainable, attractive and functional buildings that help drive
innovation in building projects.
If you’re thinking of using timber
cladding, it can sometimes be overwhelming looking through all the different
options and possibilities. For more details on how to use timber cladding in your
own building project, contact one of our experts today for a chat.
Before using timber cladding, it’s
important to understand some of the opportunities available with such a
material and how you can ensure you use cladding effectively.
So how can you use timber cladding
effectively?
Take Advantage of cladding’s benefits
Timber cladding is a useful material
for so many reasons. It is easy to machine and work with, which means it lends
itself to creative and unique designs. If you’re thinking of using cladding,
then why not get the help of an architect and take your building project to the
next level.
Timber cladding is easy to machine so
it is possible to create structures that utilize more curves and flowing
shapes. This can help a building blend into its surroundings.
Use it to create and utilize space
Due to the ease of modification,
timber cladding can be adapted very effectively. This means adding customised
and personalised additions into a design is a lot easier and cheaper. This
means that you can utilize timber cladding in more functional designs that
solve a problem. If you’re working with limited space, cladding can help create
more space. It isn’t difficult to add extensions and shapes coming out of the
cladding to provide a more suitable design. This can provide extra storage or
space which in turn can help create a building that is better suited for its
end use.
This also makes cladding perfect for
building extensions on established buildings. Cladding provides opportunities
to build additional features to a home or building in a cost effective and
simple way.
Ensure you pick the right kind of species and cladding type
To ensure you get the most out of
your timber cladding and use it effectively, you need to make sure you have
utilized the best type of cladding and timber species.
Different species of timber will
behave slightly differently and there will be one type that is most suited to
any given building project.
Western Red Cedar (below left) and Siberian Larch (below right) are examples of very popular species for timber cladding as they
are easy to work with, don’t require preservative treatment and provide a
sustainable material that lasts the test of time. For a full breakdown on the
different timber species available,
Once you’ve decided on a timber
species, you have the option to pick a specific type of cladding. Different cladding
options will provide slightly different finishes to your cladding. Shiplap and
Tongue and Groove are popular options as they are easy to install and provide
professional looking cladding.
Protect and Maintain
It’s important to protect and coat
the timber cladding to ensure it is protected against rot, moisture and
insects.
There are a variety of different
types of coatings that offer slightly different benefits and finishes. This
will also affect the appearance of the cladding so it’s good to think about
this in the planning and designing stages.
Don’t neglect what surrounds the cladding
To get the most out of any building
material, it’s often worth thinking about how that material will sit with the
surrounding environment. By paying attention to the detail and making sure the
cladding works well with its surroundings, you can create something even more
special.
Using materials that create a clear,
bold contrast, or conversely, trying to use plants and trees to blend the
building into nature, can help turn an average build into something that has a
lasting impression on its local area.
Look at examples for ideas
Timber cladding has been used in
construction for many years and there are lots of amazing examples of
architects and builders using cladding in creative and innovative ways. By
looking through these examples, you can get a better feel for all the different
type of opportunities and possibilities you can achieve with timber cladding.
Final Thoughts
Timber cladding is a fantastic
building material with plenty of scope to create innovative buildings. By
ensuring you use timber cladding effectively, you can make sure you get the
most out of your building and create something both stunning and functional.

Why use timber cladding?
Timber Cladding is
a contemporary, yet classic solution to exterior building finishes. Few
man-made materials can match the quality of beautiful and natural
wood. Timber is a material that is both aesthetically pleasing and
endlessly practical and is also the world’s only natural renewable construction
resource. Timber cladding is a popular option where attractive appearance is
important along with durability and resistence to weather. Corell Timber’s
claddings are machined from Western Red Cedar, Siberian Larch, Accoya, Iroko,
Heat Treated Softwoods & Hardwoods, European Oak.
Timber cladding offers designers a
unique combination of practical, aesthetic and environmental advantages:
Practical advantages
It’s a lightweight material offering
protective and decorative design functions
Dry installation means external
envelope is quicker to install
Elimination of heavy masonry outer
walls reduces size and cost of foundations.
Cladding panels may be factory
pre-fabricated complete with insulation and breather membrane.
Wide choice of softwoods, hardwoods
and modified woods to suite all budgets.
Performance easily enhanced by
preservative treatment, wood modification, flame retardants and surface
coatings
Outstanding thermal and sound
insulation properties
Suitable for both new build and
renovation projects
Ease of repair
Aesthetics advantages
Timber is a natural material, warm
and comforting
It is attractive in grain and colour
Wide availability of styles, textures
and finish options encourages design innovation.
Easily rejuvenated or redecorated
Environmental advantages
Timber is a renewable resource
Source certification schemes ensure
its sustainability
Low carbon footprint – requires
less energy to produce than any other construction material
Growing trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Using wood stimulates the
expansion of managed forests to absorb more of this global warming gas.
Major potential for re-use or
recycling at end of life
As climate change and CO2 reduction assumes growing importance in building
design, timber cladding provides the ideal cost effective solution. Specifying
timber has major environmental benefits over other materials
External timber cladding has been a
well-established feature of buildings in the UK & Ireland and particularly
Northern Europe for many centuries.
Traditionally, timber cladding has
either been left unpainted and allowed to naturally weather; or been lovingly
repainted every spring, as evidenced in the many picturesque towns and villages
around the shores of the Baltic.
Today, timber cladding and facades
are becoming increasingly fashionable in modern buildings, but the requirements
of modern styles and building techniques demand a more adventurous colour
palette combined with simpler and less frequent maintenance.
Factory finished cladding, allowing
machine application of high build coatings and protective treatments under
controlled conditions, can offer a significant extension of maintenance cycles;
but cladding exposed on the face of a building presents major challenges for
even the toughest coating.
The selection of a stable timber
species; the design, dimensions and grain orientation of the board; and the
choice and selection of fixings all play a major part in determining
maintenance frequency and ultimate service life: whilst the quality of site
installation and fitting work is also crucial in ensuring a successful project
outcome.
This information sheet examines some
of the key design and installation factors involved in specifying a successful
and durable factory finished cladding system; provides typical specifications
for factory painted cladding; gives some indications of expected service life
for a range of timber species and finishing systems, and finally offers
practical maintenance guidelines.
External Timber Cladding Coating Systems
All coating systems require
maintenance to maintain their decorative appearance and it is important to
recognise this when specifying coated cladding.
Opaque finishes have the longest
maintenance intervals and are the easiest to repair and maintain.
Translucent finishes maintain the
natural aesthetic appearance of the timber substrate but allow more UV light to
penetrate to the timber surface. This disrupts the surface, increasing stress
on the coating film, which results in earlier coating breakdown and requires
more frequent maintenance.
If maintenance is not carried out
early enough, the timber surface will begin to discolour and degrade (in
the same way that untreated timber cladding does) and this can make
maintenance more time consuming and restoring the original appearance of
translucent finishes difficult.
Consistent application of the coating
system is vital for long-term performance. Although wet film measurements are a
useful process control test, checking and maintaining uniform dry film
thickness across the cladding board is the best assurance of in-service
performance.
The specified average dry film
thickness for a Teknos factory applied coating system is 100µm, with an
absolute minimum dry film thickness at any individual point on the surface of
80µm.
The sealing of all exposed end grain
is critical to prevent in-service moisture ingress. Moisture ingress will
result in significantly increased localised dimensional movement, mould growth,
staining of the substrate under the coating system and coating adhesion
failure. If left unrectified, substrate failure will occur.
The notes below give guidance to
Architects and Designers on the specification, design and installation of
factory finished cladding. Following this guidance and selecting the
appropriate Teknos coating system will help ensure optimum in service
performance.
External Timber Cladding Materials & Design
Timber selection
Timbers should be selected to
minimise defects; chemically modified and heat treated timbers, which can
offer improved stability, can also be considered. Timber selection should be
guided by BS EN 942 Standards with, in the case of European Redwood, use of J2
graded section which minimises knot and other natural defects not covered by the
Teknos warranty.
Timber selection must be in
accordance with the durability, use, and exposure conditions described in BS EN
350 and BS EN 335. Where the natural durability of the timber falls outside the
requirements of BS EN 335-2, it must be preservative treated as per BS EN
599-1.
When using double vacuum preservative
impregnation, particularly with solvent-based materials, the manufacturer’s
recommended drying times (typically 2-14 days) must be followed before coating.
If using a water-based, surface applied, preservatives, such as Teknol Aqua
1410 or Aqua Primer 2907, the boards must be factory coated, on all surfaces,
to a minimum dry film thickness of 80 µm before site exposure to comply with BS
EN 599-1.
Modified timber, such as Accoya meets
durability of Class 1, but treatment with either Teknol Aqua 1410 or Aqua
Primer 2907 is recommended to provide additional resistance to staining by
non-destructive Blue Stain fungi.
Timber Cladding Profile Design
All exposed edges and internal and
external mould details must have a minimum 3mm radius, to avoid thinning
of the coating.
All non-vertical surfaces must allow
efficient water shedding, with a minimum slope angle of not less than 15o.
All component profiles to follow best
practice design recommendations and for cladding as described in the relevant
Trada, Napier and BRE publications. Key points to note:
Installation and design must include
air gaps at the top and bottom of the facade to allow ventilation of the back
of the boards and preclude moisture ingress.
A chalk line or jig block should be
used to obtain 3mm clearance between board joints, allowing for board expansion
and contraction in service
Profile design should allow for
individual boards to be removed and replaced without damaging adjacent boards
or incurring significant maintenance cost.
Cladding profile design should
maximise water shedding to encourage rainwater to run off and eliminate traps
for standing water.
Stress grooves must be machined into
the back face of the boards to minimise warping and twisting.
Building Design
Reducing exposure stress will
significantly reduce maintenance and increase the durability of a coating
system. Where possible building design should give consideration to roof
overhangs and recessing clad sections, normal design features in European
countries where clad buildings are common. Avoiding or limiting cladding
features on elevations exposed to direct weathering should also be considered.
Fixings
The design should incorporate
concealed fixing where possible. Moisture ingress through surface fixings will
cause localised saturation and discolouration of the timber, creating a weak
spot for Stain development and leading to localised failure.
If factory finished Cladding boards
are fixed through the face, caps and fillers will help protect the fixing and a
final site applied finish is required to ensure the integrity of the coating
system.
Factory Finishing
During processing and factory
coating, cladding moisture content should be controlled following the
guidelines set out in BE EN 942. As a broad rule of thumb, the moisture
content of cladding during final fit should approximate to the equilibrium
moisture content of the cladding in service.
Most modern factory finished cladding
coating systems use water based acrylic resins because of their
durability and flexibility. These systems dry much faster than traditional
solvent paints, allowing for faster handling, but require a period of time to
fully cure before developing full water resistance. A minimum temperature of
15oC is recommended during coating and drying operations and Teknos’
recommended overcoating and drying schedules must be followed at all times.
When using vacuum or brush coaters,
ensure the coating is uniformly applied to achieve the specified dry film thickness
across all weathered surfaces. Uneven film application will reduce service life
and require more frequent maintenance.
Non exposed surfaces should be coated
to a minimum 60µ dry film thickness (80µ dft where a surface applied
preservative is used) to provide protection and reduce stresses on the board.
All end grain must be sealed with 2
coats of Teknoseal 4000 in accordance with Teknos’ cladding system
specifications. This is especially important on finished boards cut during
installation.
Transport and site storage
Boards must be protected from the
elements during transport.
Site storage areas should be well
ventilated and not subject to extremes of temperature. Remove any airtight
packaging before storage to ensure free ventilation and prevent condensation
forming. Store the boards off the ground on suitable bearers.
If stacking finished boards face to
face, always interleave with a protective paper or “Jiffy Foam”. Avoid films
that contain Plasticisers as these will adhere to the coating surface.
Under no circumstances should boards
get wet before installation.
Installation, Storage and Wall Construction
Important Installer Responsibilities:
Seal all site cuts with 2 coats of
Teknoseal 4000 end grain sealer
Use a chalk line story pole or jig
block to obtain 3mm clearance between board joints
Nails must penetrate solid wood
(sheathing and stud) by 30mm. Nailing to sheathing alone does not properly
secure the cladding
Claddings must not be installed over
wet sheathing. Use kiln-dried sheathing and strapping. Allow rain-soaked
materials to dry prior to installation.
Butt joints must be tight, treated
with 2 coats of end grain sealer, and made over solid wood to provide secure
nailing.
Do not lift pieces to allow for
alignment. Cut along the top and touch up the cut. Raising one end may result
in unlocking.
Making Walls Waterproof
Weatherproofing exterior walls
require the proper application of an approved sheathing membrane under the
cladding. The purpose of the sheathing membrane is to provide a continuous
barrier to prevent drafts and the entry of wind-driven rain into the wall
cavity.
Joints in the cladding are not
designed to prevent passage of wind and rain. Passage of wind and moisture into
the wall may occur, with sustained exposure to strong winds. Moisture may be
driven through nail penetrations and overlap joints of sheathing membrane. In
such exposures, improved resistance against moisture penetration may be
obtained by a modified construction technique known as the Rain Screen Method
in which the cladding is fastened to vertical wood strapping placed over the
sheathing membrane and attached to the wall studs. This
construction technique provides an air space for wind driven
moisture to flow by gravity down the back face of the cladding to vents at
the bottom of the wall. To maintain the Teknos warranty, cladding must be
installed on strapping.
Installing over Rigid Insulation
Timber cladding should not be applied
directly over rigid insulation. Rigid foam sheathing can cause moisture to
accumulate on the back of cladding, causing staining, buckling, and damage to
finish coats. Application over rigid foam sheathing must meet the following
conditions:
Cladding must be applied to
strapping, creating an air space between cladding and rigid foam or fibreglass.
Strapping must be a full 30mm thick
and kiln dried. The airspace allows for the venting of accumulated moisture.
Use thicker cladding patterns in
widths of 150mm or less. Thick, narrow cladding is more stable than thinner,
wider patterns and better able to resist dimensional changes.
Lighter opaque colours will maximise
heat reflection and reduce dimensional movement.
Caulking
If Caulk is used where cladding meets
corners, windows, doors and trim, use colour matched or clear caulking. Take
care to avoid creating water traps or inhibiting ventilation of the back of the
boards and, as an alternative in critical areas, consider the use of cover
moulds in jointing details.

existing buildings in equal measure.
Only the best quality larch logs
sourced from British forests are used in the milling process. Cladding boards
come from heartwood based selection and are kiln dried and appearance
graded.
Suitable for domestic and commercial applications, British Larch has
comparable durability to imported Siberian Larch and is most commonly
used uncoated. British-grown larch is typically warmer in appearance than its
Siberian counterpart. It has a rich heartwood colour, exhibiting more grain
character and displaying a greater number of knots.

Contemporary Design
Timber cladding is popular
because it can give an attractive contemporary design while offering a very low
carbon footprint. Timber has been recognised as one of the least carbon
intensive building materials, it can be very economical too and we are able to
offer various grades to fit your budget.
You can find some great
examples of how timber cladding has been used effectively in
our gallery or at: http://www.woodawards.com.
Care must be taken in
selecting timber species, we can offer full advice in this respect. Care must
also be taken in choosing the correct cladding profile. Some are best for
horizontal and others for vertical applications. A Feather edge profile can be
great for barn conversions and we can offer this with a sawn or planed finish.
Please take a look at our profiles page.
We can mill any other timber
cladding profile, just send us a sketch or phone for advice. We also have a
page showing trim we have previously milled, we can do others so please ask.
Benefits of Timber Cladding
Improved Insulation
Timber Cladding can offer
energy cost savings along with improved insulation properties.
Weight savings along with timber frames and lightweight roofs an offer
significant weight savings compared with masonry. Foundation widths and depths
can therefore be reduced.
Design Flexibility
Modern contemporary and
traditional designs can be easily achieved..
Timber cladding can reduce construction lead times and therefore reduce build
costs.
Renovation and future proofing new builds is also a real benefit.
Use of Natural Resources
As an environmentally friendly
and renewable natural resource wood cladding is accepted as a low environmental
impact material. This compares favourably with non renewable materials.
Custom Timber Milling
Service
Having a cutter grinding
shop allows us to make cutters to machine any shape. Bespoke timber
cladding profiles are often requested, we can match an existing offcuts or we
can produce cutters to a drawing.
If there are specific trim
requirements for window or door surrounds for example this is not a problem for

Why order from Timber Focus.
Reliability.
Being a small company we are able to take extra care to ensure your order is as
specified and delivered on time. We take care to ensure the lengths are
suitable for your build also that all trim and corners are going to be
suitable. Often customers are surprised in how much detail we request before we
mill the timber. We find that extra care taken at ordering can save time
onsite.
Experience.
Because we mill the timber and have been doing so for many years we are able to
ensure all our cladding and machined to achieve the very best finish.
Quality.
When sawn stock is imported
there are often pieces with fork lift damage and some pieces have end splits
which can occur when milling. At Timber Focus we take extra care in pulling any
boards with these defects as they go through the mill. We are unusual in
this respect being able to take this additional care due to our small size
enabling us to specialise. Larger companies tend to mill every piece in the
pack and deliver to the customer whatever is produced.
We are therefore very confident in being able to
offer some of the very best quality Timber Cladding available in the UK.

Timber Cladding Suppliers
Timber cladding is an increasingly
popular choice for finishing the outside of commercial and domestic properties.
Known also as timber weatherboarding or timber siding, it is an attractive and
economical way to finish the exterior of both old and new buildings, as well as
adding a layer of defence.
There are many different laying
styles for cladding including square edge, feather edge, ship lap and tongue
and groove. Cladding is often used for exterior products such as walls, garages
and sheds. However, it can also be treated for use for interior projects.
Some of the timber species suitable for
Cladding:
(click on the links below to view
more information about each specie):
Western Red Cedar
Douglas Fir
Siberian Larch
European Oak
Dark Red Meranti
European Redwood
Iroko
The suitability of each type of timber depends on the project the cladding will
be used for, your budget and preferences in colour. If you are unsure of which
timber would be best for your project, contact one of our friendly experts. For

It is also recommended that this
species is also pressure treated against rot and fungal decay prior to factory
coating.
Standards:

Painted and Pre-Stained Cladding
Summary
At Timber Focus we offer timber cladding in a wide range
of pre-stained and painted finishes.
We have a pre-painted cladding
service which provides a single base coat to all 4 sides of the board and a
further two top coats to the outer face of the cladding. Planed Square Edge
(PSE) items are painted on all four sides. We can offer a range of ‘standard’
finishes such as a clear coating with UV protection and water-based opaque
colour finishes to the colour of your choice.
Over recent years, an increasing
proportion of our Timber Cladding is painted or pre-stained on our premises
before being delivered to the site.
We can source a number of colour
match products available from Sikkens, Teknos, Crown and other leading manufacturers. All
you need to do is supply us with a reference code or RAL colour
number for the product and we can provide you with a price as soon
as possible.
Appearance
Our factory-based coating system
ensures that a consistent level of paint is applied to the painted cladding
through a vacuum coater. This gives an excellent finish and the completed
product looks fantastic with a huge range of colours available. We are always
happy to provide samples on request free of charge.
Benefits
It is far more economical to have
your timber cladding pre-strained or painted, as this negates the need for
contractors to carry out painting work on the project site.
The process is also extremely quick
– using our vacuum coater we are able to finish approximately 1.5-2m3 of
painted cladding per hour.
Pre-staining or painting is also an
important safety consideration as this means that no extra contractors
will be needed on site to carry out work using scaffolding and taking up
valuable space , which can often be at a premium.
Wear/Weathering
Our paints and coatings are all
offered with a manufacturers expected lifespan, this is subject to
their own individual specifications. Regular timber maintenance is required
throughout painted timber’s lifespan, touching up or re-coating could be
required after approximately two years. This is to ensure a good protective
coating build up and added protection – particularly in areas of high
traffic or exposure to the weather. Manufacturers guidelines on future
maintenance are readily available.
Additional Information
Paint manufacturers’ instructions
recommend a 3mm radius is applied to all outer edges of painted cladding
profiles to ensure full adhesion of the coating. If you prefer a coating to a
square edge profile this can still be done, but we cannot guarantee the
lifespan of the coating if this option is chosen.
We require a lead time of 5-6 weeks
drying time for water-based paints or finishes and 6-8 weeks for solvent-based.
This allows a suitable drying period between coats, plus further time for the
painted cladding to completely cureensuring that the timber will be dry enough
to pack and wrap in protective polythene for transit to site.
It is recommended that if painted
cladding timbers are not used immediately and are to be left for a while before
installation, the boards are removed from the packaging, stored in a dry,
well-ventilated area and separated to prevent moisture build up and sticking.
Quality
Pre-Painted Featheredge Timber Cladding
Quality Decking’s Q-Clad high
quality, pre-painted exterior timber cladding products can be used in most
vertical exterior cladding situations or for creating striking close board
fencing in your garden. Our quality cladding is designed to save time in
installation, and provide a high quality painted finish that retains a
stunning natural grain that only timber cladding can provide. Our painted
feather edge cladding products come in either tongue and groove, or featheredge
profile in a sawn face finish. The cladding can come pre-painted in either
white or black colours. The timber used to make Q-Clad™ cladding timber
cladding is slow grown Scandinavian PEFC Certified whitewood (Picea Abies). Our
sustainable cladding is kiln dried to a specific moisture content suitable for
external cladding use and preservative treated to Use Class 3.1 providing a
10-year warranty against fungal decay and insect attack (the warranty does not
apply to the life of the paint coating).
Factory applied paint provides the
best possible paint finish for timber. We strive to provide conditions for the
best possible paint adhesion. The paint is a waterborne microporous system by
Teknos, a well renowned Finnish commercial paint manufacturer. The more coats
applied to the cladding means the greater paint ‘build’ and the greater the
‘build’ the better the finish and resistance to weathering. For over-painting
we recommend the use of Bedec Barn Paints by Bedec Ltd or Dulux Weathershield®
waterborne microporous system.

Fire Retardant Cladding
Protection from fire
Protecting against the threat of fire
is one of the most critical elements of any new build and, for projects such as
schools and educational buildings, UK building regulations may stipulate that
the timber cladding must be treated with a fire retardant.
In the above case, customers may wish
to look at pressure impregnating the cladding prior to supply or,
alternatively, surface coating the cladding once it is on-site.
Puidukoda and Timber Focus offers two
main product solutions to customers: Sentrin FRX can be impregnated under
factory-controlled conditions prior to supply or HR-Prof can be purchased and applied on-site. In addition to these solutions, fire
cavity barriers are available in our online shop.
Timber Focus Wood Protection offers
proven fire-retardant treatments for structural timbers and board products and
a dedicated web site is now available.
Only accredited, approved and
correctly applied fire-retardant treatments allow clients to effectively meet
building control requirements and still produce stunning building designs using
nature’s most versatile material. Lonza’s DRICON and NON-COM Exterior
treatments provide these assurances and are available from our service
treatment centre in West Yorkshire, UK.
Our facility operates to both ISO9001
and ISO14001 standards and is accredited by the UK Wood Protection
Association’s Quality scheme.
DRICON is the only fire-retardant
treated timber with BBA approval and NON-COM Exterior is the only
fire-retardant treatment accepted by NHBC for exterior cladding timbers.
Proven fire-retardant treated timbers
Treatments will meet either Euroclass
B or Euroclass C surface spread of flame requirements of EN 13501-1. We have
global experience in the fire protection of timber and have extensive fire
certification for a wide range of timber species in conjunction with Exova
warringtonfire, the leading fire test body in Europe.
DRICON – fire-retardant treated
timber for interior situations
DRICON is the only British Board of
Agrément (BBA) approved fire-retardant treatment for timber and has recently
celebrated 25 years of continuous BBA approval. A water-based,
humidity-resistant (HR) type formulation, DRICON is designed to protect timbers
and sheet materials to be used in interior situations.
Treatment involves pressure
impregnation of the DRICON formulation into the timber, followed by careful

Appearance
Timber Focus’s SILA boards come in a
warm mix of colours, from light reddish brown through to golden browns. When
weathered the colour changes to a muted grey tone, which is desirable in many
cladding projects.
With clearly marked annual growth
rings, straight grain and relatively few knots the overall look displays attractive
figuring with a contemporary look.
Important information regarding
sawn-faced profiles or board on board arrangements
Siberian Larch is imported to the UK
in board form. Depending on which mill it came from it will have variety of
surface finishes. For example, circular sawn marks, twin arbour lines, paint
marks, grease marks or compression marks from steel securing bands. To avoid an
unsightly surface finish, Timber Focus skim the face of each board to provide a
clean, unblemished fine sawn finish. See a short video of our skimming process
below.
Grades and specification
We offer three grades; A/B, A+ and
B/C, with the specifications being as stated below.
Timber Focus SILA A/B®
Timber Focus offers SILA A/B® grade
which presents an ideal combination of durability with a clean, relatively knot
free look and is ideal for design led projects. The specification for SILA A/B®
is as follows:
Graded to BS1186-3 Part 4 Class 1;
each board is practically centre free, one face will be sap free, tight live knots
have a maximum 25mm diameter. Maximum of two knots per metre on average over
the total length of board, pin knots below 12mm will be discounted
Kiln-dried to moisture content of
16-18% (+/- 2%)
Lengths up to 6.0m
Resin pockets permitted on exposed
surfaces
We select from the best available
grades in Europe and guarantee that your order will not contain any commonly
available, lower quality GOST grades
FSC® – certified product sourced from
sustainable forests, certification no – FSC-C017490
Timber Focus SILA A+
Timber Focus also produces a limited quantity of A+
grade. This is virtually a clear grade timber, providing a clean, consistent,
almost knot-free look combined with excellent durability. At times these boards
are in limited supply. The specification for SILA A+ is as follows;
Graded to BS1186-3 Part 4 Class 1;
each board is practically centre free, one face will be sap free
Further hand-selection of clearest
grade boards which meet the following criteria; tight live knots with a maximum
12mm diameter. Maximum of two knots per metre on average over the total
length of board
Kiln-dried to moisture content of
16-18% (+/- 2%)
Resin pockets permitted on exposed
surfaces
Lengths up to 6.0m
We select from the best available
grades in the UK and guarantee that your order will not contain any commonly
available, lower quality GOST grades
FSC® certified product sourced from
sustainable forests
Timber Focus SILA B/C
Additionally, Timber Focus offers
SILA B/C, a more rustic grade of Siberian Larch than our A/B and A+ grades. It
gives a more knotty, less uniform look, without compromising its excellent
durability properties. The specification for SILA B/C is as follows;
Graded to BS1186-3 Part 4 Class 2/3;
each board is practically centre free; the majority of boards will be sap free
on one face and knots have a maximum 35mm diameter
Kiln-dried to moisture content of
16-18% (+/- 2%)
Lengths up to 6.0m
Resin pockets permitted on exposed
surfaces
Durability class 3 (BS EN 350-2
classification)
High density of approximately 628
Kg/m3 at a moisture content of 18% (BS EN 350-2 classification)
FSC® certified product sourced from
sustainable forests
NBS Specification
For advice on completing the NBS H21
for Siberian Larch cladding please get in touch with our project team.
Durability
For external cladding purposes,
Siberian Larch is a naturally durable timber (Class 3 according to BS EN 350-2)
due to a combination of factors;
The presence of tannins in the wood
create a high resistance to decay and rot, making Siberian Larch one of the
toughest and most durable softwoods
High density means that it is more
difficult for decaying organisms to penetrate the wood
With a lifespan of 50 -100 years when
correctly detailed and subject to general outdoor exposure, this is similar to Timber
Focus’s Architect
Select® Western Red Cedar. Better durability properties
can only be achieved with Timber Focus’s modified timber product: Accoya®
wood.
Stability
The tightness of the growth rings and
the high proportion of late wood enables a smoother machine finish and enhanced
dimensional stability.
Additionally, Timber Focus’s SILA is
kiln-dried to 16-18% (+/-2%), the optimal moisture content for external
cladding. This moisture level is retained until delivery to site and your
cladding can then be installed immediately upon delivery.
Enhanced performance of dimensional
stability can be achieved by using narrower widths, for example 120mm, and
95mm.
Density
Due to its high percentage of
heartwood (75-90%) and a minimum of sapwood (we guarantee that at least one
face will be sap free) SILA is an extremely dense timber, classified by BS EN
350-2 as approximately 628 Kg/m3 at a moisture content of 18%. As
such, it is not easily damaged and therefore is ideal for highly exposed
elevations, or applications where there is the likelihood of physical damage
such as knocks or scrapes (e.g. schools, shopping centres, public walkways).
Coating suitability
Optimal performance is always
achieved with sawn faced finishes.
SILA can be factory coated in SiOO:X, a
breakthrough water based silicone technology, to provide a genuine silver
lustre. In effect, SiOO:X creates a weathered appearance at an accelerated
rate. Following application, all areas, regardless of protection and exposure,
take on consistent tone which provides a solution to differential weathering
whilst strengthening the timber’s surface and creating a water repellent layer.
SiOO:X is also available in a mid-grey colour. For further information about SiOO:X click
here.
SILA can also be vaccum
coated in your choice of colour from Timber
Focus’s Teknos paint range. Due to the infrequent knots and tight grain,
optimal paint adhesion can be achieved, particularly when used on sawn
surfaces.
SILA can also be fire-retardant treated,
using HR Prof as an on-site applicant.
Fixings
How timber is fixed is fundamental to
its long term performance in relation to both appearance and durability.
We offer a range of fixings and systems
designed by Austrian Timber Engineers to make cladding look better and last
longer. There are a number of options when considering cladding fixings.
Sihga’s FassadenClip® offers secret fixing giving a modern clean finish where
no fixings are visible. Also available from Timber Focus is Sihga’s F-BohrFix
ZB® screw for effective secret fixing of tongue and groove profiles or RW115
secret fix profile. For face fixings L-GoFix® A2 screws combined with KompeFix®
offer a superior look and performance to alternative face fixing
arrangements.
These systems can be written into the
NBS H21 specification. For more information on our recommended fixings, click

Profiles
We can advise you on the most
suitable species and profile for your project. Visit our profiles section to view some of our most popular profiles, or speak to us to discuss
further options.
Sustainability
Timber Focus ’s SILA is FSC®-certified,
meaning that it is sourced from well-managed forests.
Size
SILA is available in varying lengths
up to 6m. Please note that cladding is supplied as a linear meterage based on
random stock lengths at time of picking order. Other sizes may be available on
request.
The standard trade board measurement
is 150mm wide traditionally this is the most commonly purchased cladding board.
However, at Timber Focus we also offer a range of board widths including 225,
200, 175, 125, 100, and 75mm. The narrower board widths (75, 100, 125mm) offer
a number of advantages including more choice in design arrangements and
improved dimensional stability. As an additional benefit narrower width boards
are generally graded well in excess of their specification.
For large-scale projects we also have
the ability to finger-joint and edge-glue SILA. This process allows the
customisation of lenghts, which could be particularly desirable to create a
design look whilst eliminating on site waste. Seamlessly joining shorter boards
together can create a cleaner, more dimensionally stable grade at longer
lengths, which is often desired by architects and specifiers.
Price
SILA is one of our mid-range products,
with prices starting at £32 per m2 excluding VAT for sawn
boards.

Siberian Larch Fact Sheet and
Useful Resources
Every day we live and breathe timber
cladding here at Timber Focus , so we wanted to share some useful tips and
resources about each species. This guide goes into everything you need to know
about Siberian larch timber.
Siberian larch is one of our
favourite timber species and it is a popular choice for external cladding. Make
sure you check out our range of Siberian larch cladding and discover how you
can use this timber to create a truly expectational exterior to your building.
Originating from the beautiful
forests of Siberia in Russia, this timber is the perfect partner to your new
building so read on to find out what makes it so special.
Appearance and Durability
Siberian larch is
often a very popular timber cladding choice for its appearance. It is regarded
as having a very desired finish and provides beautiful colouring and texture.
The shapes and patterns of the growth rings are very aesthetically pleasing and
provide real character to each cladding panel. Siberian larch will often start
life as pale yellow/golden brown in colour but weathers to striking silvery
grey colours, although treatment and staining can change this.
It is a slow growth, high density
softwood which makes it one of the hardest commercial softwoods available. It
is 50% harder than Scots Pine and this is one of the reasons why it is such a
desired timer specie. This high-density characteristic makes it very durable
and perfect for external cladding as well as other features like joinery,
decking, and flooring.
Due to this durability, it is a wood
that isn’t as vulnerable to knocks, scrapes and scratches as other woods. This
is an important aspect for exterior cladding.
Siberian larch can be sawn and
machined well, making it a practical and efficient choice of timber for
building projects.
Siberian larch cladding supplied by
Timber Focus is sourced from reputable sawmills processing larch logs from well
managed forests in northern Europe. Where possible our larch is sourced with
independent certification.
Siberian larch trees grow very slowly
and consequently the larch wood is extremely dense and strong when compared to
other softwoods such as spruce and cedar. The high resin content found in
Siberian larch makes it one of the most durable softwoods in the world.
Siberian larch, which is a straw colour,
similar to pine, should not be confused with the European larch growing in
Britain, which is a dark pink colour. Unlike European larch, the knots in
Siberian larch cladding are a lighter grey colour and tend to stay solid even
after drying and machining. For this reason we tend to favour Siberian larch
over British larch for machined cladding profiles.
Siberian larch cladding is generally
available in two grades, which in the trade, are confusingly named ‘Unsorted’
and ‘Fourths’ (or sometimes ‘Sawfalling’). For ease, we describe our stocks as
either Grade A or Grade B. Grade A allows for occasional small knots, although
many boards will be clear of defects. Grade B allows for frequent and larger
knots. We most commonly offer Grade B because it offers a very cost effective
cladding option. Care should be taken when relying on the trade names as the
relative quality between Russian sawmills is highly variable.
As with all larch species, the
Siberian version is a relatively ‘lively’ timber and as such, it is prone to
distortion and dimensional variation. Throughout the year a 145mm Siberian
larch cladding board can vary by up to +/- 5mm. We therefore recommend simple
cladding profiles such as halflap (VHL) and splayed (VSP) that can accommodate
this movement rather than more delicate TG&V profiles.
Siberian larch cladding is a good
choice for exposed elevations where knocks and scrapes are likely. Grade B is
appropriate for projects where a natural or rustic appearance is desired,
whereas the relatively knot free Grade A will create a more contemporary
looking facade.
Technical Specification
Produced to comply with the
harmonised standard for construction products regulation BSEN14915:2013 and to
conform to BS8605-1:2014 External timber cladding: Method for specifying.
The colour of Siberian larch can vary
from a dark brown to a pale yellow. Larch is very slow grown and has an
unusally high durability factor for a softwood species. Due to its high
density, Larch is perfect for projects such as schools or shopping complexes
where impact may occur.
Durability
Larch is a class 3 durability rated product, which is moderately
durable.
Dimensional
Stability
Larch has a movement rating of medium.
Thermal Conductivity
With a conductivity rating of (y10) of approximately 0.13 W/(mk) it is an
excellent species to keep heat in.
Density
The density of Larch is 570 – 650kg per m3. Moisture content at time of
installation should be 16% +/- 4%.
Workability
Larch can be machined to achieve a fantastic finish, but beware that due to the
density of the product it is advised that regular sharpening of the blades is
recommended. It is also suggested that screwing instead of nailing is
preferable to avoid splitting.
Siberian Larch Shiplap
Cladding
Model SLPC-U
Condition New
If stability, durability and beautifully grained natural cladding is
required then there are few better choices than this very slow grown, incredibly dense softwood.
Our Siberian Larch Shiplap Cladding
is the perfect profile choice should you require not only excellent weather protection, but clean smooth lines and a smarter finish for your cladding project.
Commonly fitted horizontally, once in place the visually pleasing shadow lines will
accentuate the length of your building, giving you a sleek uniformed appearance.
Naturally Siberian Larch will offer
your cladding project stability, durability and a beautiful grain; there
are few better choices than this very slow grown, incredibly dense softwood.
Due to its high resin content, Siberian Larch is one of the most naturally hardy of
all softwood species and highly durable without any treatment – you’ll almost be getting the abilites of oak at softwood
prices!
Your boards will be supplied
untreated. No treatments are required, however
if you wish to preserve the supplied colour a little longer or use
a weather
resistant sealant, please take a look at our Treatex range. Should
you wish to leave it to age gracefully, it will eventually turn to
a beautiful silvery grey colour as the suns rays do their
work.
Our Siberian Larch is kiln dried to an 18% moisture content, making
it ideal for use in both internal and external applications. If
exposed to varying weather conditions before fitting your boards, they are
likely to cup, warp and split; the ideal time to fit cladding to keep this to a
minimum is between the months of October and April and within 7 to 14 days of
delivery.
Ready to fix and available in two options – first grade and unsorted:
First grade is sorted to include only the clearest (most
knot free) boards with the straightest grain possible.
A perfect choice for all modern and contemporary applications.
Unsorted will have a mixture of all top four grades, 1
through to 4 – some clear of knots and some straight grain, others with knots
and some sloping grain. A perfect choice for all traditional/rustic applications,
it gives a less uniformed look, without compromising its excellent durability properties.
We offer the following section size:
142mm x 25mm – The overall width is
142mm, with the visible face measuring 127mm
This profile is priced per square metre and comes in random lengths between 1600mm and 6000mm unless
otherwise specified for an additional charge:
Set lengths up to 3500mm – £4.00
extra per square metre exc VAT
Set lengths above 3500mm – £8.00
extra per square metre exc VAT
Please contact our Sales Team on 0161 504 0011 should
you require set lengths.
Still unsure? We offer up to two samples of
our cladding boards for a £5 inc VAT postage charge. Should
you wish to then purchase cladding boards that are the same product as
your samples, we will reimburse you the £5 postage charge upon ordering!*
Siberian larch cladding supplied by Timber Focus is sourced
from reputable sawmills processing larch logs
from well managed forests in northern Europe. … Siberian larch, which is a straw colour, similar to pine, should not be confused with
the European larch growing in Britain, which is a dark
pink colour.
Available Grades:-
Grade Overview – A/B Grade
Grade Character – Tight intergrown knots up to 40mm diameter are admissible.
Sound spike knots no longer than half the width of the board are also
acceptable. Resin and bark pockets are allowed up to 2cm2 surface area and 2
pieces per board. No insect attack is permissible, although 2 shakes in a width
of 1mm in a length of 10% of the board.

The majority of Western Red Cedar cladding used in the UK is imported.
However, the southern forests of the UK also have favourable growing conditions
for the Thuja Plicata tree and it is available in commercial quantities from a
number of sustainably managed sources.
British Western Red Cedar is the
ideal choice for those where either budget is a deciding factor or you value a
locally grown low carbon footprint product.
British Western Red Cedar cladding
offers the same durability and ease of working as its Canadian counterpart,
although does present a more rustic, knotty finish that is paler and more even
in colour.
Ease of sourcing, immediacy of
dispatch and consistency of price also favour British Western Red Cedar.
The attractiveness of Canadian
Western Red Cedar is its completely clear finish (i.e. no knots and smooth
grain), although limited availability of supply, exchange rate fluctuation and
the distance travelled to import all make it significantly more expensive than
British. What’s more, the cost of Canadian will continue to rise whereas the
price of the British alternative will remain low and stable in comparison.
So, in summary, British Western Red
Cedar would be the best choice for your cladding project if:
You value a local, British grown, low
carbon impact product
Budget is a deciding factor
You are looking for a consistent,
paler colour across all boards
You do not want a patchy look whilst
your Cedar weathers
You want character in your cladding
– i.e. knots and grain to show that it is a natural product

Thermowood® cladding
ThermoWood®
is produced by heat treating Finnish grown pine and spruce to temperatures in
excess of 200 degrees centigrade. During the heat treatment, chemical and
structural changes occur within the timber which alter and improve some of its
basic characteristics. The resulting product is an altogether more durable and
stable timber, an ideal cladding material for use in exposed areas such as
external walls.
Visual quality
The colour of
ThermoWood-D (pine) is affected by the treatment temperature and time. The
higher the temperature, the darker the appearance.

ThermoWood® Cladding –
Thermally Modified Wood
Timber Focus’s commitment to
supplying consistent and high quality timber products is reflected in our
latest cladding material – ThermoWood®. Our extensive supply network
has led us to source the finest ThermoWood® available, from one
of the world’s leading producers of this innovative timber product.
ThermoWood® is
produced using a chemical-free natural process. By heat treating only the
finest Scandinavian Redwood to enhance the chemical and physical properties of
the timber, ThermoWood® Cladding offers an exceptional cladding material
with outstanding durability, stability and insulation characteristics.
Along with enhanced physical
properties, the treatment also results in an attractive, consistent, deep brown
tone for a beautiful appearance. Due to it’s stability, ThermoWood® also
takes and retains finish well, allowing for translucent or solid colour stains
to be applied to create unique and striking buildings.
Suitable for commercial and
residential buildings, ThermoWood® Channel Cladding meets the
requirements of Durability Class 2 (BS EN 350), carries European Standard CE
Mark certification and is recognised by the Building Research Establishment
(BRE) which endorses a 30 year service life when used for cladding.
There are seven standard ThermoWood-D
pine cladding profiles to choose from as well as a range of special order ThermoWood®
pine and spruce profiles.
30 year service life
Uncoated ThermoWood-D (pine) exterior
cladding can provide a 30-year desired service life. This calculation is based
on a number of conditions including: the quality of the workmanship at the time
of installation, and the exposure of cladding to the weather including location,
elevation and design. If coated, over the life of the product, ThermoWood-D
will have a 60-year desired service life, providing the coating is maintained
in-line with the coating manufacturer recommendations over the service life of
the product*.
Environment
The timber used to produce
ThermoWood® is grown in our own Finnish forests which are fully certified under
the Finnish Forestry Certification System and Pan European Forestry
Certification. As such you can be sure ThermoWood® is sourced from well managed
and sustainable forests. The heat treatment process requires no chemical
additives. The improved performance is achieved simply by the controlled
application of heat and steam.
Lunawood
Thermowood
LUNAWOOD THERMOWOOD is a
beautiful, sustainable wood material produced by using natural methods, heat
and steam. Thermal modification improves the wood’s properties, thereby
expanding the range of applications in which the wood can be
used. Thermowood is dimensionally stable, resistant to decay and resin
free. It can be used inside or outdoors, in any climate. Lunawood is an
non-toxic natural product which is easy to machine and install.
hermo ayous: features &
prices
For outdoor applications with wood,
hardwood is often used, because it is very durable. But did you know that
thermowood ayous is an equally good and even cheaper option? Thanks to a
special technique, this softwood is resistant to the weather. In this article
you will discover more about the properties, prices, placement and applications
of thermo ayous.
What is thermowood ayous exactly?
Thermowood ayous is a tropical
softwood species that has the same durability as tropical hardwood species
(padouk, afromosia, afzelia, …). Thermo ayous is a cheaper alternative to
tropical hardwood, which has become scarcer and therefore very expensive in
recent years.
It is therefore not surprising that
thermo ayous – and thermowood in general – is gaining popularity. Ayous is a
white kind of deciduous tree that originates from West Africa. It is the more
commercial name for Triplochiton scleroxylon K. Schum .
This is not a sustainable type of
wood by nature. Because ayous has an open cell structure, however, it can be
perfectly thermally preserved by means of a treatment with steam or heat. The
wood is heated up to 215 ° Celsius. In this way thermowood ayous is more
resistant to moisture and will remain maintenance-free for decades.
Would you like to have work carried
out with thermowood ayous? Through our online quotation service you can get in
touch with different craftsmen and receive tailor-made quotations. That way you
can easily compare prices and choose the best proposal. This service is
completely free and without obligation.
Properties of ayous thermowood
Ayous thermo looks in fact the same
as tropical hardwood: it has the same soft, inconspicuous structure with patterns of long lines .
The wood is nicely smooth and, unlike pine thermowood, has no ‘knots’ (faults in the wood structure).
After ayous wood has been treated, it
has a nice brown and warm appearance. Not so long after that, the wood turns
into a golden yellow color, and then gradually becomes gray evenly (just like
tropical hardwood). Do you prefer to keep the original color? Then you can
possibly treat the wood with stain or varnish. Below are some other
specifications of ayous thermowood:
Ayous thermowood has a good
insulating effect (0.09 W / mK)
The wood will hardly shrink or
expand; the shape stability is great
The wood is treated in an
ecologically responsible manner, without the addition of chemicals or corrosive
acids
Thermo ayous belongs to durability
class 1-2 (same lifespan as hardwood)
The material has a low volume mass,
which is handy for façade cladding
Ayous thermowood is easy to machine,
both mechanically and by hand (thanks to the uniform structure)
No risk of cracks or rot

Thermory
American Ash
Introduction
This attractive and versatile
material is produced by Thermory,
the leading producer of thermally modified Ash.
Established in 1997 and based in
Estonia, Thermory have over 15 years experience in perfecting the thermal
modification of American Ash.
The end result is a beautiful
material, rich in colour and distinctive grain, with all the advantages of
thermal modification.
Using modern Scandinavian kilning
technology, American Ash is pre-dried, heated (215°C for “INTENSE” thermal
modification) and re-moisturised to prevent brittleness.
The process uses only heat and water
and is completely chemical free with the energy for the kilns being generated
from wood waste. The American Ash is fully FSC certified, achieving the highest
environmental standards.
Advantages
of thermal modification
Thermal modification brings many
advantages.
One of the main advantages with the
thermal modification of American Ash is to convert a “non-durable” species into
a product that achieves durability Class 1, the same classification as some
tropical species such as Teak or Ipe (see test reports below)
Increased stability results from the
process making Thermory Ash resistant to temperature and humidity variations.
It has reduced permeability and increased insulation properties, limiting the expansion
and contraction and improving the performance of the timber in service.
Unlike an “envelope” chemical
treatment Thermory Ash is treated right through to the core, allowing the
material to be cut, drilled and planed like ordinary wood, but without
affecting the durability or stability. In fact the working properties are
greatly improved due to the removal of the resins.
The appearance is changed
dramatically, turning the Ash a rich walnut brown colour with a highly
attractive grain figure.
Decking
Thermory Ash makes a very attractive
deck for both residential and commercial use.
Available in 20mm and 26mm
thicknesses and 132mm and 160mm widths. (150mm width is available to special
order)
The “TENI” clip system avoids the
need for unsightly face fixings and also provides improved air circulation
around the deck boards. Also the “TENI” clip system allows for the removal and
replacement of a single board, should this ever be necessary, without the need
to disturb the rest of the deck. The deck boards are structurally jointed on
their ends and push together allowing a continuous laying of the board without
the need to joint the boards over a joist. This reduces the length wastage to
practically zero.
Oiling of Thermory Ash is optional,
and recommended if the original colour is to be prolonged.
Thermory Ash is suitable to use
without oiling and its durability will be unaffected. However, as with all
timbers it will naturally turn to a silver grey colour with exposure to UV.

s D Dura Deck is a low maintenance, eco-friendly
alternative to traditional timber decking
Whilst timber has traditionally been
used for decking, the emergence of composite timber has delivered a host of
advantages over traditional materials and has led it to become the number one
choice for landscapers, architects and specifiers looking for an attractive but
future-proof solution. Strong and durable, Dura Deck composite decking looks and
feels just like natural wood, but provides a longer-lasting solution that is
environmentally friendly, easy to install and requires minimal maintenance.
Dura Deck is manufactured from a
unique combination of wood and plastic and our highly developed unique
composition combines the traditional appearance of timber with the durability
of an engineered composite. It results in a vibrant, long-lasting colour which
will never rot, warp or splinter and does not require staining, treating or
painting.
Unlike traditional timber, WPC
decking boards (further information about WPC
decking) require only basic cleaning; the
product still looks new after years of use and remains cost-effective
throughout its lifecycle, requiring only an occasional wash and scrub to keep
it looking at its best. Composite wood plastic decking also handles heat and
weathering extremely well, being UV stable as well as resistant to the impact
of moisture, mould and algae.
As well as saving both time and money
through easy installation and low maintenance, our composite decking boards are
also an eco-friendly option. Made from an innovative blend of up to 87%
recycled hardwood and plastics, Dura Deck helps to conserve the earth’s
resources whilst reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill. In fact, Dura
Composites was the world’s first timber composite supplier to become FSC ® 100%
certified, further positioning us as a global pioneer in the world of composite
timber.
e A choice of eight great
colours
All boards are available
in eight attractive colours – Ivory, Redwood, Olive Green, Teak,
Coffee, Charcoal, Light Grey and Stone Grey.
The manufacturing process results in
a high level of colour consistency although some variation in colour may be
apparent across boards from different production batches.
The anti-UV agent helps the boards to
resist colour fade however some fading will occur but this should be no more
than to give your deck an attractive
weathered look to areas that are exposed to direct sunlight.
