Choosing shiplap timber cladding is a great choice as its properties provide a large number of benefits which can be seen here.

Timber can have an extremely long life, however, this may not be the case when these common mistakes come into play. To find out what these common timber cladding mistakes are, keep reading!

As the UK has a somewhat damp climate, there is likely going to be a build-up of moisture in and on the wood. It is advised to avoid using cladding on east-facing or north-facing surfaces.

On the other hand, it isn’t advisable to install cladding before or during a heatwave.

For durability, choose hardwood cladding over softwood and seek out an experienced installer.

After you have installed the cladding, ensure that you finish it with a protectant and set a maintenance cycle to make sure the appearance of the wood is in top condition.
