Profile Range

We have created this guide to help you select your ideal timber cladding profile.

Our range of timber cladding profiles is suitable for both external and internal wall cladding and come in choice of rough sawn and smooth finishes. Whether you are installing your timber cladding vertically or horizontally we have profiles to suit and if you want to hide the fixings, we have specific profiles to make it possible.

We think that we have a cladding profile to suit most situations and tastes without overcomplicating things. If we don’t, we can always make a new one.

We have been using Vastern Timber for over 30 years and there is a good reason for that, their knowledge, service and wide selection and quality of great British timber we have not found elsewhere.
I would recommend to anyone, builders, carpenters, cabinetmakers go and speak to them to discuss your project.

Great British family business at its best. Helpful, knowledgeable and professional staff. If you want to source specialist timbers of all types look no further. If they haven’t got it, they can get it. A wood lovers paradise!

Went to Vastern to collect some waney edge boards for our table making business. Met Wolf who was really helpful. Took the time to show us there stock and even invited us back the next day to view the larger slabs they had in their storage shed. Great service. Will be back for sure.

I recently had an excellent experience with Vastern Timber for purchasing some amazing ash boards !

The range of wood options is impressive, and the quality is unmatched.
A special shoutout to Wolf for his exceptional assistance—he was not only helpful and knowledgeable but also incredibly polite and professional. He made the whole process a breeze.

I highly recommend Vastern Timber for top-notch products and outstanding service. Thanks again, Wolf!

I would like to express how impressed i was with my visit to vastern timber today. I was unable to find a suitable oak window sill in the showroom. I was then served by Wolf who showed me the full available stock. This enabled me to find 2 pieces of thick oak with a waney edge. Ideal for what i wanted and he was also able to run the top surface through the plainer which saved me a huge amount of work and has given me a really fabulous finish. Thanks again

I was greeted by Andy who had a great knowledge of the products and was quick to recognise what was best for my requirements. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

I have been using vasterns for 2 years now and over this time I have had so much help from Wolf since I met him . His knowledge of timber has been amazing and it has made a big difference to my work being able to speak to him and explain what I am after and him helping me decide what to use , how to treat it , how it reacts . It makes a big difference having a good relationship with the person you are buying from and I can’t recommend him enough . I wouldn’t be able to do some of the jobs I get without his help and his input . I know when I’m buying from him it will be the right choice of timber and the highest quality. He is a real asset to myself and other customers that I know use vasterns .
Always thankful for his help and his time .

Great quality product with service to match.
Delivery driver (Andy) went out of his way to assist with offloading and was knowledgeable and informative about the product. A great ambassador for the company.

Mark K.

1st time I’ve used Vastern timber and the service was 10 out of 10. The website was easy to use and backed up by the knowledge of their staff. Andy the delivery driver turned up at the arranged time and was most helpful in unloading, even though the rain was lashing it down. Would definitely use Vastern timber for future projects.

This company based in Royal Wootton Bassett have yet again proven to be delight to purchase from. Fairly priced Waney Edge timber for my Wood & Resin creations. I have always received excellent service, often at short notice. A big shoutout goes to Wolfy who is such a helpful and cheerful employee Vastern should be proud to have him on their team,always a smile and very patient with me when I’m picking through their stock, which is by far the best I have come across at all the sawmill’s I have visited. This is now my go to source for all my wood stock.
Well done Vastern and Wolfy.
