FAQs
Timber cladding has an excellent lifespan when treated and installed well. It can last 40-60 years depending on the species, treatment process, maintenance, environmental factors, design and coating.

Timber is a natural material and therefore weathers slowly over time.
It's key to keep your timber cladding dry. You can achieve this by coating it properly with a UV and water-resistant product before fitting the cladding. It's best to clean your cladding when you notice dirt, stains or mould and keep an eye out for any potential issues as you would with any natural products outside.
Your maintenance period depends on many factors involving weather, species of wood, the coating and more. On average, it can extend from every 1-5 years.
