We’re delighted to share that The Larch Cladding Company was recently seen in Property & Home with Martin Roberts, a trusted lifestyle publication focused on helping homeowners make the most of their living spaces. The piece shone a spotlight on our sustainable Welsh timber cladding, showcasing how it can transform properties with beauty, longevity, and environmental responsibility.
Transforming Homes with Timber Cladding
Timber cladding continues to be one of the most popular choices for homeowners looking to add kerb appeal and long-term value to their properties. With its natural warmth, versatile design options, and impressive durability, it’s easy to see why.
At The Larch Cladding Company, we craft our cladding from responsibly managed Welsh forests, offering a range of profiles including shiplap, feather edge, shadow gap, rainscreen, tongue and groove, waney edge, and square edge, along with timber shingles. Each profile delivers its own character, whether you’re working on a sleek modern extension, a rustic barn renovation, or a bespoke garden building.
Built to Last: Durability and Longevity
Our Welsh larch cladding and cedar cladding is renowned for its strength and weather resistance. Packed with natural oils, these timbers actively repel pests and can last up to 40 years with proper care and installation. Douglas fir and our popular charred timber cladding also offer long-lasting resilience, making them excellent choices for exposed locations.
Aesthetic Appeal
Few materials can match the visual impact of natural timber. Larch and cedar start in warm golden or reddish tones before gradually weathering to a silvery grey patina. For those seeking a bold, contemporary finish, our charred timber cladding delivers a striking blackened look that is as durable as it is beautiful. Whether you’re blending into the landscape or creating contrast, timber cladding provides a finish that evolves with your property.
Low Maintenance and Easy Care
One of the main benefits of larch and cedar cladding is that they require little upkeep. Left untreated, the boards will weather gracefully. If you’d prefer to preserve the original colour, oils or protective coatings can be applied. With just simple annual checks, your cladding will continue to perform and look its best for decades.
Insulation and Comfort
Beyond its visual appeal, timber is a natural insulator. Timber cladding helps regulate indoor temperatures, keeping spaces cooler in summer and warmer in winter. It also provides excellent sound absorption, making your home or garden building quieter and more comfortable to live in.
Sustainability at the Core
Sustainability is built into everything we do. All our timber is sourced locally from FSC® (FSC-C134890) certified forests in Wales. By keeping supply chains short, we reduce transport emissions and support local forestry. Within our sawmill, nothing goes to waste: offcuts are repurposed for firewood or biomass energy, and sawdust is processed into SawSand® horse bedding. This circular approach means every piece of timber is put to good use.
More Than Just Cladding: Garden Rooms and Beyond
The piece in Property & Home with Martin Roberts also highlighted how our products can be used for more than just home façades. Garden rooms clad in larch or cedar have become increasingly popular, creating versatile spaces for home offices, gyms, or studios. Our wide product range also includes battens, posts, sleepers, decking, and interior timber, offering complete solutions for inside and out.
