DIY & Trade Timber Cladding

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Timber Cladding?

Timber cladding refers to the use of high-quality timber boards to cover the exterior of a building, offering both protection and an attractive, natural finish. This versatile option is popular for sheds, garden rooms, dormer windows, and small extensions, where it can provide a striking contrast to masonry or rendered surfaces. At DIY Building Supplies, our timber cladding is crafted from pressure-treated timber, ensuring increased resistance to moisture, decay, and rot.

Why Choose Timber Cladding?

Timber cladding offers a range of benefits, making it a preferred choice for both functional and aesthetic purposes:

Natural Beauty: The organic texture and grain of timber deliver a warm and timeless look that enhances the visual appeal of any structure. Timber cladding can also be stained or painted to suit your desired style.
Customisation: Timber boards can be cut to different sizes and arranged in various orientations, such as horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, allowing for a truly bespoke finish.
Durability: Thanks to the pressure-treated process, our timber cladding resists rot and moisture, making it a reliable choice for external applications.
Sustainability: Timber is a renewable material, and when sourced responsibly, it offers an eco-friendly solution for building exteriors.
Ease of Maintenance and Repair: Ideal for structures like sheds, timber cladding can be easily repaired or replaced if damaged, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Timber cladding is incredibly versatile and well-suited for:

Sheds: A practical and attractive option for garden storage buildings.
Garden Rooms: Adds a stylish and cozy finish to outdoor spaces.
