European Oak Cladding - Built to Last, Designed to Impress

European oak (Quercus Robur) is a premium choice for cladding due to its exceptional durability and visual appeal. Over time, the timber weathers to a distinctive silver-grey tone, adding timeless elegance to any property. Whether used in heritage restorations or new architectural builds, oak cladding offers unmatched strength and longevity. Naturally resistant to decay and moisture, it requires minimal maintenance while delivering maximum impact.

Tailored Options for Every Project

Orlestone Oak Timber provides both green oak and air-dried oak cladding to suit diverse applications. Green oak, with its higher moisture content, is ideal for traditional builds. Air-dried oak offers greater stability for precision work in contemporary designs.Customers can choose from a range of profiles including traditional feather edge, contemporary square edge, and vertical cladding. Custom finishes like planed, brushed, sandblasted, or pre-weathered options are also available to suit any design preference.

Sustainability at the Core

All oak used by Orlestone Oak Timber comes from well-managed forests in the UK and continental Europe. The company works directly with forest owners to ensure full traceability and adherence to sustainable forestry practices. This environmentally conscious approach ensures a responsible supply chain and long-term timber availability for future generations.

More Than Looks - Practical Performance

Oak cladding is not just about aesthetics. It provides natural insulation, helping to regulate interior temperatures and improve energy efficiency. Its structural resilience makes it ideal for long-term exterior protection. Fire-retardant treated options are available on request to meet building regulations where required.
