In this \n\nWood Finishes Direct<\/a> article, we will be talking about what to consider with Timber Cladding. This type of cladding has become a popular addition to the exterior of modern homes for reasons of practicality and of aesthetical preference. Because timber is a natural material, its use in cladding gives homes a pertinent design. Smooth, sleek lines encase the property and feel more statement orientated. Its versatility can be applied to both domestic and commercial properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, timber cladding is well known for its environmental qualities, promoting thermal and insulation properties for your home. As it\u2019s a natural material, it is very much renewable, and will even work to eliminate greenhouse gases in the atmosphere! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The function of timber cladding at a base level is to protect the exterior walls of your home against moisture and air penetration. Long strips of soft or hardwood timber are affixed to the property and be lain in both a horizontal or vertical direction, depending on your preference. The bolder among you may even decide to lay them diagonally! <\/p>\n\n\n
