Fresh Sawn vs. AirDried Cladding – What’s Right for You?
When selecting cladding, understanding the difference between fresh sawn and air-dried timber is
essential.
Fresh Sawn Timber Cladding – Natural, Cost-Effective, and Beautifully Weathered
Fresh sawn timber, often called green timber, has a high moisture content when cut and naturally
dries in place once installed. It offers a cost-effective solution with a rustic, evolving aesthetic.
- Best for: Traditional builds, barns, garages, outbuildings, and agricultural structures
- Popular species: Oak, Western Red Cedar, Larch, Chestnut and Douglas Fir
- Natural aging: Weathers from rich golden-browns and reds to a stunning silver-grey over time
- Ideal profiles: Feather Edge and Waney Edge, designed to accommodate shrinkage as the timber
dries
Air-Dried Timber Cladding – Stable, Durable, and Low-Maintenance
Air-dried timber has been seasoned over time, significantly reducing movement and shrinkage. It is a premium choice for high-end architectural projects and restorations.
- Best for: Contemporary homes, renovations, restorations, and high-spec developments
- Popular species: British Sweet Chestnut, French Oak, Western Red Cedar, and British Larch
- Refined appearance: Precision machined for a smooth, stable, and long-lasting finish
- Ideal profiles: Tongue & Groove, Shadowgap, and Rainscreen
Both options offer excellent sustainability credentials, as all our timber is responsibly sourced from well managed British and European forests.
