How do I install exterior cladding?

To install exterior cladding, first prepare the wall by ensuring it’s clean and even. Attach individual boards horizontally or vertically for a secure base, then begin fixing the cladding panels, starting from the bottom. We recommend using nails or screws to secure each panel and ensure they’re level. Continue upwards, and finish with corner trims for a polished look.

Will Exterior Cladding Stop Damp?

Yes, exterior cladding can help prevent damp by creating a protective barrier between your building and the elements, keeping moisture from penetrating the walls. For the best results, ensure adequate ventilation behind the cladding and choose durable, weather-resistant materials like treated timber to enhance moisture protection.

What are the benefits of exterior wood cladding?

Our exterior timber cladding offers numerous advantages, making it a popular choice for residential and commercial properties alike. Here’s why you should consider cladding for your next project:

Aesthetic appeal: Timber cladding adds a natural, stylish finish that enhances the overall appearance of any building. It offers a timeless look that suits both contemporary and traditional styles.
Increased property value: Adding timber cladding can boost the market value of your property by improving its exterior appearance and durability, making it a worthwhile investment.
Long-term durability & excellent weather resistance: Timber is naturally strong. When properly treated, it can withstand various weather elements – including heavy rain, snow, and ice – offering long-lasting protection for your building.
