Cladding Solutions

Many heritage and also new modern structures are employing timber cladding for the external protection of buildings. The type of timber used for cladding tends to be cedar, larch, spruce etc. Most of these types of timber external facades will generally be pressure treated to facilitate the storage and transport of the materials. Left unprotected over time, timber will grey due to UV light and also is susceptible to the ingress of fungi, rot and wood boring insects. Eventually this will lead to the failure of the timber and compromises the protection it provides for the property.

Painting the timber with a protective coating will provide a protective barrier against the wooden facade from of attack prolonging the lifespan of the cladding and increasing the protection it will provide. Bedec have and excellent cladding paint for timber known as Bedec Barn Paint.
