Cladding
Choosing the right timber for cladding makes all the difference.
The species you select shapes everything — how it looks on the day it goes up, how it holds up through seasons of rain and sun, and how little (or how much) it demands from you over the years. Before you decide, here are the key factors worth understanding.
Weather Resistance
Choose timber species that naturally withstand your local climate — or those that can be enhanced through treatments like charring or preservatives.
Stability
Look for timber with strong dimensional stability — wood that holds its shape as moisture and temperature shift. This is essential for exterior cladding that lasts.
Maintenance
Different species demand different levels of care. Know how much maintenance you're prepared to commit to, and choose timber that fits your lifestyle.
