Naturally durable woods such as larch and cedar provide a hard wearing, protective layer against the elements and they are excellent 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 correctly.

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.

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.
To complement this External Timber Cladding Installation & Maintenance guide we provide practical training and support to ensure its coatings achieve optimum performance.

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.

One of Britain and Ireland’s largest sawmills; Timber Focus is a leading timber products supplier, and has pioneered biomass renewable energy in the British Isles. The business has grown organically, and through acquisition and investment in the latest processing technologies.
Timber Focus timber products portfolio includes construction timber, fencing and landscaping products and pallet and packaging material.
Timber Focus has led the development of the market for wood pellet fuel in Ireland and Britain.
Timber Focus operates biomass Combined Heat and Power plants that produce renewable energy. Residual heat from electricity generation is used to dry locally sourced woodfibre that is then processed into high-energy fuel pellets – marketed under the company’s brites brand, displacing 750 million litres of oil in homes, commercial premises and industry.
Timber Focus have been importing timber into the UK and Ireland for over 175 years. Focused on the successful and professional delivery of softwood timber to our customers.
Imported Timber
Specialists in the import and distribution of slow-grown, quality softwood timber. Supplied from Scandinavia, Germany, the Baltics, Russia, Canada and more.
Landed Stocks
One of the largest stocks of softwood timber products in the country, meeting the individual needs of customers throughout the UK and Ireland.
Softwood Solutions
From landed stocks to bespoke orders delivered direct from the mill, our experienced and specialist team can meet the most demanding requirements.
Timber Focus’s vacuum coated cladding guarantees a consistent, high quality finish and optimal long term product performance.
Due to the increasing popularity of painted cladding, as an alternative to naturally weathered timber, Timber Focus manufacture vacuum coated cladding at our modern in-house coating facility; the first of its kind in Scotland and Estonia. By treating the timber under factory-controlled conditions we can guarantee that the application will be of a consistently high standard, and that the resulting end-product will offer enhanced aesthetic and durability properties as well as a reduced maintenance cycle.
Painted Timber Cladding
Stained and painted timber cladding continues to be a popular choice among Timber Focus clients.
We can offer a number of in-house painted timber cladding solutions. Through our in-house paint system in the U.K and also working with our partner suppliers in Switzerland and Estonia , we can offer:

Timber species with knots may have potential to exhibit knot exudation/ knot bleed. In order to avoid this, it is recommended to use a 3/4 Sides Clear product.
It is also recommended that this species is also pressure treated against rot and fungal decay prior to factory coating.
Standards:
Timber Focus timber cladding conforms to the European standard: Quality of timber (exposed surfaces) to EN 14915/ EN 15146/ EN 14519 – produced in accordance with factory production control for the selection, grading, machining and preservative treatment of solid wood cladding.
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

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 here.
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

DETAILS
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

Tiga Wood
We have developed and launched Tiga wood, an innovative burnt larch eco friendly cladding which has many advantages over other heat modified cladding products on the market:
FSC Certified – Very low carbon footprint – Produced from locally grown selected British Larch – Very Durable – Minimal weathering and maintenance – Colour and degree of burn can be adjusted to suit requirements – Can be brushed or left charred at customer’s option – Coated with natural Danish Oil to seal in carbonised surface – Any quantity or size produced to order
Please see below the three main finishes we produce
Tiga Wood Cladding Charred and Danish Oiled
Tiga Wood Seared Cladding
Tiga Wood Cladding takes a timber with a strong grain pattern, usually British Larch, and sees the surface lightly-charred by hand to vividly bring out the grain detail.
The cladding is made to order and so the level of charring can be varied if required.
Tiga Wood Cladding is lightly hand-charred, wire brushed and then sealed with Danish Oil.

Durable and low maintenance 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
Durawood, thermowood ash hardwood cladding
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.

Quick Tips
Set joists at 400mm centres Avoid ground contact of the deck boards and allow air circulation within the design. If face fixing always pre-drill and countersink Use stainless steel screws Seal cut ends Oil upon installation if you would like to prolong the colour. Maintain annually.

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.
