Why Do You Need Timber Wall Cladding?

The benefits of reclaimed wall cladding are manifold, making it an increasingly popular choice for environmentally conscious homeowners and designers seeking to add character and sustainability to their spaces. One of the primary benefits is its eco-friendly nature. By repurposing wood from old barns, factories, or other structures, reclaimed wall cladding reduces the demand for new timber and helps conserve natural resources. This practice not only minimises deforestation but also diverts waste from landfills, contributing to a circular economy. Additionally, reclaimed wood typically has a unique aged patina, rich textures, and natural imperfections that create a one-of-a-kind aesthetic, infusing spaces with historical charm and rustic elegance that new materials often cannot replicate.


Another significant benefit of reclaimed wall cladding is its durability and longevity. Having already endured the test of time, reclaimed wood is often more stable and resistant to warping, shrinking, or expanding compared to new, less-seasoned timber. This inherent strength ensures that the cladding will be a long-lasting addition to any interior or exterior space. Moreover, reclaimed wood can be easier to maintain and, when properly treated, can be highly resistant to pests and decay. Its versatility also allows for a variety of design styles, from modern to traditional, providing endless creative possibilities. With the benefits of reclaimed wall cladding extending to both environmental sustainability and exceptional durability, it’s an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their spaces in an eco-conscious, stylish manner.

The Practical Benefits of Timber Wall Cladding

The array of practical benefits that wall cladding might bring as an interior or exterior wall finish for your home include:

1. Strong, Lightweight, and Long-Lasting

Timber wall cladding typically comes from three common soft-wood tree species, i.e., cedar, pine, or spruce. As a result, the timber you use for cladding your walls is lightweight with high structural strength. 

 

Consequently, installing timber cladding inadvertently boosts the weight-bearing capacity of your walls without incurring any additional cost. Furthermore, the fire and pest resistance of chemically-treated timber translates to an exceptionally long service life for your wall cladding.

2. Customisable

You can customize the entire finish from beginning to end, i.e., from how you source timber to the actual installation of cladding. In addition to the previously mentioned soft-wood species, you can choose timber from hardwood tree varieties such as white oak, chestnut, cumaru, garapu, and others.

 

You can also choose from a variety of profile styles and arrangements. Popular cladding profiles you can utilize in your residential or commercial project include tongue-and-groove, rectangular, feather-edge, shiplap, and parallelogram.
