-
Featheredge Cladding
Featheredge cladding is also known as weatherboarding or feather-edge boarding and it is a traditional means of cladding homes. It is simply a sawn board cut on the diagonal to produce a tapered board that is overlapped when fitted, similar to roof tiles. A classic and high durable timber cladding profile, for strong weather resistance and a traditional, rustic finish.
Designed to be laid horizontally, it is important to make allowances for at least a 35mm overlap on each board (50mm is best) when making your calculations. If your boards are exposed to varying weather conditions before fitting, they are likely to cup, warp and split; the ideal time to fit cladding to keep this to a minimum is between the months of October and April and within 7 to 14 days of delivery. It is of the utmost importance to follow fixing guidelines when fitting your cladding, due to the natural characteristics of the timber used.
It is recommended that the fine sawn face of the board is exposed as opposed to the planed face, this will not only give you that traditional featheredge finish, but will allow the timber to accept and retain any treatment, thus keeping future maintenance of your cladding to a minimum.
Traditionally, Oak cladding was used but more recently other species have proven to be both durable and popular due to sometimes significantly lower costs. Here you will find Oak, as well as English Larch, Siberian Larch, Treated English Softwood and Black Painted Kiln-Dried Whitewood featheredge boards in various section sizes, suitable for applications in both residential and commercial settings.

Tongue and Groove...
Tongue and Groove Cladding is a versatile and premium cladding profile, designed to create a smooth and seamless fit for both exterior and interior projects. These boards are fixed together by inserting the tongue into the groove. The chamfering at the top and the bottom of the boards accentuates the individual boards by creating a subtle 'V' shadow line along the joints. Dependent on your style, they can be fitted either horizontally or vertically; should you choose to fit them horizontally, it is recommended that the boards are installed with the tongue uppermost, this is to allow any moisture to fall away from the tongue.
Ideal for vaulted ceilings, interior and exterior walls, feature panels and garden rooms, these Tongue and Groove Cladding boards are versatile in their use for every design. Clean lines and consistent finish make them perfect for contemporary and traditional applications, both residential and commercial. Machined in the Midlands, we offer these Tongue and Groove boards in a wide range of timber species such as European Oak, British Larch, Douglas Fir, Radiata Pine and Redwood Thermowood.
Durable and reliable, these Tongue and Groove Cladding Boards are easy to install and add character and polished appearance to your project for years to come.

Rain Screen Cladding
Rain Screen Cladding, otherwise known as Splayed Cladding is rhomboid shaped boards that will form when fitted a modern timber façade by equally spacing the boards apart on top of a waterproof membrane. As the boards are not interlocked, the use of a waterproof membrane is essential.
Both a sustainable and a cost effective way of protecting and maintaining a wall, this profile is ideal for new builds as well as renovating older buildings due to its ability to help with insulation, damp and moisture problems. As well as practical benefits, there are also aesthetic ones - commonly fitted horizontally, you also have the ability to fix this profile vertically or even diagonally so that the bold shadow lines lie in any direction you wish, ultimately creating a stunning exterior feature wall.
Currently milled on site in the Midlands, these are available in a number of timber species including European Oak (with Air and Kiln Dried options) as well as softwoods such as British Larch and Douglas Fir, and thermally modified timber including Redwood Thermowood and Radiata Pine.

If you're looking to achieve that effortlessly classic 'T&G' look, we are certain that our high quality V Tongue and Groove Cladding options will make it an easy choice.

Dependent on your style, they can also be fitted either horizontally or vertically; should you choose to fit them horizontally, it is recommended that the boards are installed with the tongue uppermost, this is to allow any moisture to fall away from the tongue.

With the refined look of this Half Lap Cladding Profile, it is perfect for a low-maintenance, long-lasting cladding option that enhances both new builds and renovation projects.
-
Rebated Featheredge...
Similar to the featheredge cladding profile, Rebated Featheredge is a sawn board cut on the diagonal to produce a tapered board that is overlapped when fitted, similar to roof tiles. Our rebated featheredge boards are rebated to enable the featheredge to fix flat for additional stability and improved weather resistance.
Designed to be laid horizontally, it is important to make allowances for at least a 35mm overlap on each board (50mm is best) when making your calculations. Using rebated feather-edge horizontal boards for cladding, it is possible to reduce the overlap to 25mm but you should have a 2mm gap to allow for possible expansion of the boards. If your boards are exposed to varying weather conditions before fitting, they are likely to cup, warp and split; the ideal time to fit cladding to keep this to a minimum is between the months of October and April and within 7 to 14 days of delivery. It is of the utmost importance to follow fixing guidelines when fitting your cladding, due to the natural characteristics of the timber used.
Traditionally oak cladding was used but more recently other species have proven to be both durable and popular due to sometimes significantly lower costs. Here you will find our range of Rebated Featheredge Cladding in various section sizes and species at affordable prices.

Advantages of Timber Cladding
Unlike other building materials, this type of cladding provides both functionality and aesthetics simultaneously, making it the ideal choice for modern architecture. As a light-weight cladding option, it offers a good amount of protection without adding extra loads on the structure; this results in decreased costs associated with foundation construction. This material is quick to install compared to similar options and damaged sections of cladding can easily be replaced without having to tear down the entire surface of the area.
Apart from the functional benefits, there are many aesthetic advantages offered by using this. It comes with natural grain and colour that can create a very special appearance of the building that cannot be reproduced by synthetic materials. There are various types of timber profiles, finishes and different timber species, providing architects, builders and DIY constructors with ample freedom when choosing cladding. Orientation of cladding may also vary, including horizontal, vertical and diagonal.
On top of this, there are some environmental and thermal advantages offered also. Timber is a natural material and, thus, it possesses some natural insulation properties. This makes it useful not only in terms of its appearance and functionality but also from the point of view of energy efficiency and acoustic performance. In addition to this, the use of timber allows for a more environmentally friendly construction project, as it is recyclable and sustainable.
To sum up, timber is definitely worth considering in any building projects that require exterior cladding.
Customisation Options
But no two projects are alike, and standardised dimensions do not fit all applications. That is why UK Timber provides complete customisation services for the cladding portfolio. You get to choose from among the available species, such as European Oak, British Larch, Douglas Fir, Siberian Larch, and thermally modified versions of the above-mentioned species, in addition to specifying any length you wish via our set lengths service.

What kind of wood species do you have for cladding?
Our company offers cladding using a variety of wood species such as European Oak, British Larch, Douglas Fir, Siberian Larch, Radiata Pine and Thermowood Redwood which is heat-treated, along with other species of treated softwood. Wood species will depend upon profiles. If you want to know about certain combinations, please contact our sales team.
What makes treated and untreated cladding different from each other?
Untreated cladding is provided in their original form, requiring treatment either before or after the installation process in order to keep the cladding protected from any kind of outside conditions. Treated cladding has already undergone factory processing in terms of adding preservatives to it; hence, it has a better protection against rotting and decaying. This type of cladding is ideal especially in exterior applications due to the fact that it comes into contact with the weather even before being treated.
Am I able to purchase my cladding in bespoke lengths?
Yes, alongside our normal stock lengths we provide a set lengths service which will allow you to order your cladding at bespoke lengths. This will help avoid waste when cutting on site, saving time and reducing costs. All you have to do is add the product to your cart and provide us with the measurements in the order notes, or call us on 01536 267107.
Are you able to offer sample claddings?
Yes, and we would highly advise that you obtain samples before making a full order decision, especially when comparing between different species and grades of the product. You will get to experience the wood in all its form through our samples of cladding. The complete list of our samples can be seen on the Cladding Samples page.
What is the price of timber cladding?
The price depends on many factors, including type of wood, profile, grade and bulk purchase. Some examples of affordable softwood products include treated redwood and British Larch. If you are considering hardwood, then European Oak can be considered a top-end option. As a general principle, the more material that is purchased, the cheaper it is per unit. Trade prices for bulk purchases can be discussed with our sales team.
How do you deliver?
Delivery is nationwide by means of our pallet delivery service, which includes crane offload at no extra charge for most products. Delivery lead times will depend upon the type of product being ordered and whether or not any special cutting is involved - standard products generally have delivery lead times of just a few days. More detailed information about delivery can be found on our Delivery and Returns page.
Are there discounts for purchasing cladding in bulk?
Yes, indeed. Our company frequently collaborates with building contractors, architects, and property developers who order in bulk. Should you be interested in getting a trade price for your construction project, please do not hesitate to contact our sales department at 01536 267107.
What kind of treatments would you suggest for exterior cladding?
Our company uses Treatex products and we provide various kinds of oils, preservatives, and treatments which are designed particularly for cladding. There are many different products available but each board is unique and requires its own solution. It depends on both the type of wood and whether you need an untreated product that allows the natural beauty of the wood to be seen or something else, for example, coloured oil. More information about this topic can be found in our Cladding Treatments section.
Can timber cladding be used for self-builds and renovations?
Of course! This product remains a widely used choice in both construction and renovations because of its fast installation process, compatibility with many building types, and easy application that doesn’t require any special tools. Even if you’re not a contractor yourself but still have some building experience, almost all cladding profiles are pretty easy to install. Plus, we’ll gladly assist you in calculating quantities or choosing materials.
How do I care for my cladding after installation?
It depends on the type of timber used and any treatment given to it. But as a rough guide, it is good practice to reapply oils and preservatives to exterior cladding once every year or two to four years depending on conditions. Regular cleaning of the cladding surface and an annual check of fixings will significantly prolong the life of your timbers. Hardwoods like Oak will naturally silver with time, but if you want to preserve their original coloration, treat immediately upon installation and keep them treated.
