Cladding changes the outside of a building without touching the structure. It works on a house and just as well on a school or an office block.
The boards are mounted on a treated frame with an air gap behind, so water can run off and the timber can dry. That is what decides whether cladding lasts ten years or two.

Timber slats clad the sea side of the house and break the wind on the patio.
Cladding is built off scaffolding. The frame goes up first, then the boards — allow one to three weeks.

A treated frame with an air gap is built against the wall.
Boards are mounted from the bottom up and fitted.
Edges are finished and the timber sealed.
