Cladding

No other cladding material can offer the design freedom, ease of handling, range of products and natural beauty of timber. Timber clad buildings can be designed to suit any environment and fit any site with a minimum of expense. The possibilities are almost limitless. They can look traditional, modern or simply unique-designed to suit the style, flair and imagination of the owner.

Modern finishes give a long lasting and attractive appearance to timber cladding and can be used to change the colour and style of timber clad buildings. It is also quick and easy to keep pace with changing fashions. The natural resilience of timber gives a built-in flexibility which helps resist stresses and strains caused by foundation movement, wind storms or seismic movement.

Timber clad buildings offer economical comfort from the tropical north to the temperate south. Whatever the climate a timber clad wall can be designed to give excellent thermal performance all year round. Its natural sound damping properties also help keep noise out of buildings and reduce reflected noise in confined outdoor spaces.

Sizes
Timber decking comes in different sizes. These are generally made to suite the majority of applications.

130x19 (6")
This is the most common size pre-run by the Woodage, it’s the most popular width at the moment as it is a larger board (7.69lm per m2) than the 80mm but still very cost effective.


170x19 (8")
This is the largest pre-run sizes that The Woodage produces, but this is a premium and is not always available. Please call us before you design your project to find out what will be available at the time of construction.


Profiles
As you can see below there are 3 profiles that are produced, Shiplap, Rusticated and Splayed. Not all species are appropriate for external cladding, so please read the durability rating to see which is suitable.
