Timber Cladding
Timber cladding installed with proper cavity, fixings and end-grain protection so the boards move, weather and age the way they are supposed to.
Timber cladding is a natural product that moves. Installed with a ventilated cavity, the right fixings and sealed end grain, it performs beautifully. Installed tight to the frame, it fails.
