UK Sweet Chestnut Timber Cladding

UK Sweet Chestnut Timber Cladding is an indigenous specie which grows widely across many parts of Britain and Europe and gives an improved carbon footprint to local contracts.

It is durable as long as the sap is excluded. UK Sweet Chestnut Timber Cladding offers a similar golden colour to oak, but with stronger and more pronounced grain and occasional dark brown mineral streaks. It is a very stable, straight grained, hard-wearing, strong and durable timber making it ideal to use in external cladding and decking applications. It is easy to work with and can be cut and nailed easily and will take stains, oils and paint coatings very well.

UK Sweet Chestnut Timber Cladding will weather to a natural silver colouring if it is not protected with a good quality semi or fully translucent UV-radiation protective coating.

Length specification are short, however this can be improved by offering our finger jointing service which will create much longer lengths. A further benefit of finger jointed boards is an improvement in length, with a reduced chance of distortion and improved quality over shorter standard length material.
