Oak also has excellent dimensional stability which means that the wood will not expand or contract with changing temperatures or humidity levels. These features make it a great choice for Timber cladding projects that require minimal maintenance over time.

IS EUROPEAN OAK RED OR WHITE?
European oak is a yellow-brown wood, making it distinct from both red and white oaks. The unique hue of European oak can be attributed to its high tannin content and the grain pattern of its growth rings. When freshly cut, the wood has a honey-brown colour with a characteristic and stylish pattern of dark and light strips. Over time, the timber can develop a more golden patina as it is exposed to air and sunlight and ultimately fades to a silver/grey patina. If desired, this silver hue can be prevented with oiling.
REQUIRES LOW MAINTENANCE
Made from resilient European oak, the cladding is highly durable and can withstand the elements for many years. Nevertheless, to ensure your cladding lasts even longer while looking great, it’s essential to treat it regularly with preservative or finishing oil. Doing so provides an additional layer of protection against water damage, insect infestations, and more.
