Oak Cladding

The national tree of England, Oak (Quercus) is a staple in timber construction. Bringing durability and resiliency to outdoor projects, it is (quite literally) a strong choice for cladding, and suitable for both large-scale construction works and smaller DIY projects. With quick and sustainable deliveries making it a favourite amongst the EcoChoice community.

We supply responsibly sourced Oak cladding to construction projects around the UK. For tough timber you can rely on, get in touch with our team. 

Why Choose Oak Cladding?

There is a reason why Oak is a favourite for cladding. It is known for its durability and strength, making it a smart choice for projects which are exposed to outdoor elements. It has good natural resistance to rot, insect infestation and fungal problems, making it a low-maintenance timber for cladding applications.

But where it really shines is in its workability. Oak is both strong and malleable – which is rare in the timber world – so you wont need advanced tools or professional-level knowledge to get the most out of your boards. From commercial contracts to DIY projects, its versatility makes it suitable for all cladding construction.


A Natural Timber Aesthetic

Oak does not have to be treated or stained for cladding, letting the natural beauty of British timber shine. With a pale, yellow-brown heartwood and uniform grain, Oak is often in demand because of its beautiful, untouched look. The lighter tone makes it a more contemporary choice for cladding, lending a smooth and even finish which is hard to beat.

Do note that Oak – like all other timber species – will weather without treatment. For a more rustic aesthetic, leave your boards to turn naturally to a beautiful silvery-grey. If you like the brighter yellow-brown, we recommend applying a UV-resistant finish before installation.

Oak Cladding Profile Options

EcoChoice delivers sustainable Oak cladding to projects around the UK. We have a variety of profiles to choose from, including feather edge, shiplap and tongue-and-groove. We can also source customised sizes alongside our standard options, tailoring your Oak cladding boards to your unique requirements.

Our team will deliver your Oak cladding boards directly to your construction site at a time which suits you. We can also pre-treat your boards before delivery, making it easy to install your timber on the day of arrival.


Responsibly Sourced Oak Cladding

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Your Oak cladding boards will be sourced from 100% responsibly managed woodlands, and we work with reputable accreditations (including the FSC and PEFC) to ensure your timber always meets our standards. In these environments, felled Oak trees are left to replenish naturally, bringing conservation back to the timber industry.
