Exterior timber claddings are a popular facade that can add warmth to a building and provide a sustainable option over brick or alternative finishes. At Metsä Wood, our exterior wall claddings include Thermowood® cladding and softwood cladding.

Both our Thermowood cladding and softwood claddings are sourced from sustainably managed forests. They are PEFC certified and are available from stockists nationwide.

Thermowood exterior cladding

Metsä Wood Thermowood exterior cladding is produced by heat treating Finnish grown pine and spruce to temperatures in excess of 200 degrees centigrade. The resulting product is an altogether more durable and stable timber, an ideal material for use in exposed areas such as external wall claddings and rainscreens. At Metsä Wood we have a range of standard and special order profiles which are popular in commercial applications. View ThermoWood Cladding profiles.

Softwood exterior cladding

Metsä Wood softwood exterior cladding is kiln dried for increased durability and machined with precision. This gives flexibility on the finish and style you want to achieve as it can be stained, varnished, painted and treated. At Metsä Wood we have a range of standard profiles to choose from.
