Softwood
External Cladding

External timber cladding can enhance the look of a variety of buildings and is available in a range of finishes and profiles to suit every construction type. It is used extensively to clad brick and mortar, timber frame buildings and increasingly in prefabricated modular buildings.

It acts as a weatherboard or ‘rainscreen’ to the wall behind and has the additional benefit of protecting and concealing external insulation on walls. External insulation and wood cladding can deliver the full thermal performance of new buildings or improve the thermal performance of existing buildings.

Choosing the right timber for each job is key, considering the expected surface life alongside the required maintenance schedules of the wood. We have a large selection of softwood external timber claddings from Whitewood such as Nordic Spruce to Redwood such as Pine.
