Tips In Installing Timber Cladding

by timbercl on June 3, 2011

No matter is your style or your preference, there would always be a choice in timber cladding that would be able to suit whatever is in your mind and that is because of its flexibility and a wide range of selections of wood for cladding purposes. Should you desire a modern and sleek appeal then you could go for a high-grade timber while a lower-grade timber would nevertheless provide you with a different character and a more rustic appeal. You could even install it in any orientations that you believe would suit better since the style and designs could be adjusted easily whether it is installed vertically, horizontally or perhaps diagonally.

You have to remember that timber cladding uses timbers that has their own set of unique characteristics and therefore, it would be wise if you are aware of this in order to pick which is best for the location. Also, it is important to consider the type of walls wherein you would like to attach the cladding as the walls have to carry the full weight of the timber for a long time and in case you are not sure, then going for a lightweight timber would be the most preferable.

Lastly, don’t overlook the effect of water on timber and so, it is vital that you install it leaving at least 15cm from the ground and by adding flashing on top of doors and windows in order to keep the water from soaking in as much as possible away from the timber cladding since water would no doubt stain the timber which can be undesirable for most of the time.
