Timber Cladding - Which One to Choose?

Timber Cladding - Which One to Choose? / Timber cladding has grown in popularity in recent years, due to its useful contribution to a building's sustainable footprint.

Despite being a powerful visual signifier of your commitment to the Green agenda, what can be off putting for many is choosing the right kind of timber for a project, due to the finite detailing and specification.

A Guide to SIPS

A Guide to SIPS / What are SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels)?
Structural Insulated Panels – commonly referred to as SIPs – are a build system incorporating insulation. Insulation is sandwiched between two boards (usually OSB), for a highly insulated build that can be prefabricated off site, and quickly erected on site.
Making a Choice
Although all of the main SIPs suppliers compete on price and service, one of the key material differences is in the composition of the panel itself.

Guide to External Cladding

Guide to External Cladding / Cladding brings benefits, the opportunity to increase thermal performance with no loss of internal space. Works particularly well on older houses built with solid brick walls where there’s no cavity for insulation, Sustainable too
It has warmth and character and is usually made from larch, cedar, or Thermowood. Cedar & larch can be left untreated because they inherently resist decay and moisture, they weather to silvery grey and can last about 30 yrs.

To Timber Clad or Not to Timber Clad...

To Timber Clad or Not to Timber Clad... / Timber cladding wooden cladding has many benefits and unlike other exteriors, if properly maintained, it can last for upwards of 30 years, it also makes for a fantastic contemporary Scandinavian look. The benefits of using high quality imported timber such as Canadian Western Red Cedar or Kiln dried Siberian Larch, is that it contains natural anti decay and rot properties and provides low future maintenance.Timber has high insulation properties. Also works as a great acoustic barrier.
