Timber cladding has a number of benefits which makes it a great option for sheds and other external structures.
Being strong and resistant to the elements, it can withstand the harsh British weather, and keep your outbuilding intact come rain or shine.
But, what else do you know about timber cladding?
The team at Shiplap Timber has shared our top facts about Timber Cladding, letting you know exactly what you need to know about the material before investing.
1. Did you know, it's advised that cladding should be avoided on east-facing or north-facing surfaces? As the UK has a damp climate, there is more likely to be a build-up of moisture in these particular positions, making it more prone to rot.
2. It's also important to note that you should never install cladding before or during a heatwave, as the severe heat can cause issues during the process.
3. As you may know, timber is a great insulator; in fact, it's even better than concrete, making it an effective retainer of heat.
4. If you're planning to build a shed to protect your expensive equipment or possessions, it's important to note that a timber shed can actually last just as long as a brick one. The location, climate and weather surrounding the building will, of course, make an impact, but in some cases, it can even outperform brick entirely.
5. In architecture, some of the most iconic buildings use timber cladding in their designs. With its durability and beautiful effects, it makes a sturdy, long-lasting structure that looks just as beautiful.
6. As well as being a great insulator, timber also contains air pockets which means it can even keep out noise and sound-proof a space.
7. Whilst it certainly has a lot of benefits in the relation to how it looks, timber is also said to be able to reduce stress and increase productivity, making it a perfect choice for architects looking to build design-conscious office spaces.
