Hardwood Cladding

Lees Building Contractors Ltd specialises in vertical hardwood cladding enhanced with a render spar finish, combining the natural warmth of timber with the contemporary appeal of textured render. This façade solution delivers outstanding weather resistance, low maintenance and a striking architectural statement.

Key Works & Features

• Timber Selection & Preparation:
  Premium-grade hardwood boards (oak, larch or cedar) machined to a uniform 20 mm thickness, pressure‑treated for rot resistance and kiln‑dried to limit movement.

• Battens & Ventilated Cavity:
  Vertical timber battens fixed over breathable membrane and treated counter‑battens to create a ventilated cavity, preventing moisture build‑up and prolonging cladding life.

• Fixing System:
  Stainless‑steel concealed clips and hidden‑nail methods ensure a flush, uninterrupted vertical grain appearance without visible fasteners.

• Render Spar Application:
  Fibre‑reinforced spar‑dash render applied to designated panels—coloured and textured to complement the hardwood—providing durable, UV‑stable protection.

• Sealing & Finishing:
  All timber edges and cut ends sealed with specialist preservative; render protected with breathable water‑repellent coating to guard against staining.

Specialist Techniques & Materials

• Hardwood Treatment:
  Factory‑applied micro‑porous oil finish for natural sheen and ongoing weatherproofing.

• Membrane Installation:
  High‑performance breather membrane to safeguard the substructure while allowing timber to respire.

• Precision Rendering:
  Two‑coat mineral render system with aggregate spar‑dash top coat for a textured, low‑maintenance finish.

• Thermal & Acoustic Benefits:
  Combined cavity insulation and dense hardwood deliver improved U‑values and sound attenuation.

Why This Project Stands Out

• Contemporary Aesthetic: The interplay of warm vertical timber and textured render panels creates a modern, eye‑catching façade.

• Longevity & Low Maintenance: Quality hardwood and spar‑dash render resist weathering—with only periodic cleaning and oil‑recoating required.

• Breathable Construction: Ventilated cavity and mineral‑based finishes prevent damp and ensure a healthy, durable envelope.

• Local Craftsmanship: Expert installation by our West Country carpenters and renderers ensures precision alignment and finish consistency.
