Why use Timber for Cladding
With timber being increasingly specified as the material of choice for exterior and interior cladding.
We have produced this guide to show the growing range that Covers are able to offer. Timber cladding
provides an attractive, versatile and durable external finish. Timbers environmental credentials are leading
to increased usage on all building types.
Appearance
Not only does it look good, enhancing the external appearance of any building, it is more interesting and
pleasing to the eye. The versatility of timber means it can be produced to almost any profile
Durability
Hardwoods and some softwoods such as Western Red Cedar, Larch and Douglas Fir are naturally resistant
to decay. Less durable species such as European Redwood can be preservative treated to prolong life in
service.
Performance
Along with durability and a long service life, Timber Claddings natural properties offer improved acoustic
and thermal conductivity performance.
Thermowood
Thermowood® is produced by heat treating grown European Redwood (Red Pine) to temperatures in
excess of 200 degrees Centigrade. During heat treatment, chemical and structural changes occur within
the timber which alter and improve some of its basic characteristics.
The resulting product is an altogether more durable and stable timber, an ideal material for use in exposed
areas such as external wall claddings.
The benefits of Thermowood®
Durability Performance
The improved durability of Thermowood® makes it an excellent material to use in the production of timber
claddings and rain screens. The heat treatment process enables the use of Scandinavian Redwood in areas
requiring a service life of up to 30 years without the need for a chemical preservative.
Stability
Thermowood® is more stable than untreated softwood. The changes that occur within the timber during
heat treatment make it less able to absorb or lose moisture. This restriction of moisture movement limits
and potential for swelling, shrinking or distortion of
Thermowood® cladding boards.
Maintenance
Heat treatment removes resin from redwood timber. As a result there is no resin leakage or “bleed” through
the surface coatings. The combined effect of this together with the improved stability can lead to a lower
maintenance requirement.

Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata)
Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to moisture, decay and insect damage. Along with its workability,
versatility and resistance to warping this makes it an ideal timber for outdoor applications without the need
for preservative treatments.
Western Red Cedar’s rich warm colour and texture gives any building, inside or out, a touch of individually
that blends naturally with the environment.
With ageing and weathering Cedar gradually changes colour to an attractive silver-grey. Alternatively it can
be treated or stained to individual taste.
The rich warm colour and texture of Cedar gives any building, inside or out, a touch of individuality that
blends effortlessly with the environment. Lightweight and ideal for fast track building schemes, it is also
more resistant to warping, twisting and shrinking than any other softwood.
Along with our stock ex 25 x 150mm Cedar Shiplap and ex 19 x 100mm Cedar
T&G V-Jointed Matchboarding we can provide a wide variety of sizes and patterns.
Another popular stock item is Cedar Shingles. They are extremely lightweight and durable making them an
ideal roofing and cladding material.
Siberian Larch (Larix Siberia)
A slow grown timber with a golden yellow colour and strong grain pattern. Unlike British Larch, the knots
in Siberian Larch are light grey in colour and are less likely to fall out after Drying and Machining.
Siberian Larch is very resinous and extremely hard, making it one of the toughest and most durable
softwoods in the world. Therefore there is no need for further treatment.
Ideal for use as a cladding where impact damage may occur. e.g. Schools, Public Buildings and Shopping
areas.
Softwood & Hardwood
European Redwood
A range of matchings and shiplaps are available
ex stock that can be preservative treated.
Alternatively we can offer sawn or machined to
almost any pattern, as well as priming and black
base coating.
Western Red Cedar, European/Siberian Larch,
Douglas Fir and other softwoods are also available
sawn or machined to almost any pattern.
Black Barn Feather Edge Cladding
Ex 32 x 175mm sawn featheredge boarding.
Preservative treated then black base coated,
available from stock.
Ideal for barn conversions or to give a traditional
appearance on new developments.
Hardwood
Hardwoods such as Oak and Chesnut are more
commonly used as cladding and along with many
other hardwoods can be sawn or machined to
almost any pattern.
Treated Featheredge Boarding
Ex 25 x 150mm, 32 x 200mm treated featheredge
is available from stock. Alternatively featheredge
can be produced sawn to different sizes and also
from other species.
Cedar Shingles and Shakes
Bringing aesthetic charm to almost any building, their natural insulation properties and light weight makes
them the perfect choice for sustainable industrial, commercial or housing projects.
Cedar shingles weigh one tenth of traditional roofing materials, resulting in less structural stress.
Furthermore, their thermal conductivity is the lowest of any roofing material available - making for an
exceptionally warm roof.
Shingles are also one of the most flexible of all cladding and roofing materials and can be successfully
installed on curved areas and other geometric shapes.
Untreated, preservative treated or fire retardant Cedar shingles and shakes will withstand the harshest
weather conditions with preservative treated shingles having a life expectancy in excess of 40 years when
installed correctly.

Cedar profiles are available

Fibre Cement Cladding
Traditional timber weatherboarding is a unique and aesthetically pleasing form of cladding, whether it is
used on suburban homes or commercial buildings. However, the effect is diminished by the necessity for
on-going maintenance and the very real threat of pest and insect infestation.
Marley Eternits’ Cedral Weatherboard is a man-made alternative designed to replicate the visual appeal of
the timber original. The unique formulation of the board frees it from attack by vermin and eliminates the
risk of rot.
The result is a long life timber - like product which is significantly aesthetically superior to PVCu substitutes.
Cedral Weatherboard can be used in a number of new build and refurbishment applications, in both
domestic and commercial environments-especially when there is a requirement for low maintenance
performance and lasting cladding aesthetics.

Preservation Treatments
Protect your valuable timber with the most effective up to date timber treatment systems.
At Covers we provide a range of treatments from suppliers such as Osmose and Tanalith, using different
cycles of treatments for different risk factors.
Tanalised E
TANALISED® E pressure treated timber can have a service life of 15 - 60 years
depending on its end use.
The colour of TANALISED® E pressure treated timber slowly weathers from an
initial green hue to a warm, honey brown and in the longer term to a natural
silver grey.
If required the colour can be refreshed with a brush-on colour product such as
RESTOL® (Tanalith® Green).
Any timber surface exposed by cross cutting, drilling, notching or boring must be brushed with ENSELE®
end-grain preservative to maintain the integrity of the treatment.
As TANALISED® E pressure treated timber is a high performance product, it is appropriate to use metal
fixings and fastenings that give a comparable service life. Under normal conditions the use of hot dipped
galvanised nails, screws and fixings is recommended.
Protim Clearchoice - Is a clear low pressure treatment
Protim Clearchoice (Protim) is more suitable to joinery grade claddings which
will be either used indoors or outdoors and can be left clear or with a stained
finish.
Fire Protection
We are able to offer a fire retardant treated timber service for Interior and weather protected exterior
situations. DRICON treated timber and sheet materials have been impregnated with DRICON fire retardant,
a water-based formulation which is an approved Type HR humidity resistant formulation.
