Cladding

Cladding

Timber cladding, also known as weatherboarding, can provide an attractive, lasting and durable finish to both internal and external projects. 

As well as improving a building’s overall aesthetic, this measure can also be used to add an extra layer of thermal insulation and weather resistance. Essentially, cladding is designed to protect a project’s walls from moisture and air penetration, as well as any other such issues which could be caused by the elements.
