The most common types of timber cladding used in the UK include cedar cladding, larch cladding, thermowood cladding, oak cladding and charred timber cladding. Each option offers different benefits in terms of durability, appearance and maintenance. Cedar is valued for its stability and natural resistance to moisture, while larch offers strength and affordability. Thermally modified timber improves longevity and dimensional stability, and charred timber provides exceptional weather resistance. Choosing between types of timber cladding depends on budget, design style and environmental exposure.
