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.

I regularly use Vastern for purchasing locally grown, sustainably sourced British oak and ash. I then use this for making bespoke fitted and freestanding furniture. The quality of the timber is excellent and reliable. I usually deal with Wolf when I visit who's friendly, knowledgeable and allows time to search for the timber that fits my requirements. The company really cares about what they do, and they promote the conservation and enhancement of British woodlands which is important to me and really sets them apart!

The Dorset Tree Shepherd Ltd. is extremely pleased to have found Vastern Timber, what an incredible place! Such vast amounts of excellent quality timber, stacked and drying. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, thank you so much to Stefan and Wolf for providing a first class service.

The best timber supplier I've used. Excellent pricing, great value for money and top quality timber with massive stocks. Staff were knowledgeable, efficient and couldn't do enough for you, even had a biscuit for my dog.

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 .

Just got some Siberian Larch Grade A and B delivered today in 140mm and 95mm for decking and wall cladding. Andy was extremely helpful with the delivery and had great knowledge of the product. Dee was also very helpful when ordering. Her job would be made easier though if there was a more efficient way for the customer to measure up the lengths required. It took me a while to get my head around measurements and I had to rely on Dee to confirm the lengths. Maybe some clever software could help there, which would relieve the pressure off Dee to have to confirm all the measurements. Just a thought. Thank you.

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.

Visited Vastern Timber today having booked an appointment. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Free to browse a great selection of English timber.
We found a lovely piece of Yew for a fireplace.
Would highly recommend a visit.

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.

Jake A.

Brilliant sawmil with lots of beautiful timber at very reasonable prices. Wolf is our man, full of knowledge and passion and always so helpful. Will continue to buy from Vastern due to his brilliant service, strongly recommend!

Nigel T.

From our first visit to the showroom we were very impressed with the range on offer, the knowledge, expertise and helpful advice provided by Stefan. The quality of the product we ordered was excellent and communication and delivery very efficient. I would highly recommend Vaster Timber.

Matthew M.

It's good when the cheapest option is the most local and the friendliest service!

I got the B grade Siberian larch halflap and it looks really good, a lot cleaner than expected.

On delivery driver Andy was really friendly and helped me handball it all down the garden saving me a chunk of time.

Will be using them again

Sam W.

Always a great experience at Vastern. Prices are reasonable considering the quality is so good, and the staff are all very helpful & knowledgeable, even dealing with small quantity orders. Special shout out to Wolf, he's bloody brilliant. Always happy to help dig to the bottom of a pile to find the perfect boards for the job, and he's got a proper interest in timber and woodworking.

Peter R.

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!

Mark R.

The Canadian Red Cedar that Vastern supplied has helped CRD Bath, our builder, to create a spectacular house. We have used it for cladding the first floor and the soffits of all of the overhangs. Vastern planed the timber to uniform profiles throughout and the quality of the workmanship on site has resulted in a superb job. It is pleasing to see the timber already beginning to weather uniformly.

I visited vastern to collect some samples for a project, I was served by Wolf his knowledge and attitude was amazing I got exactly what I needed plus some very nice planed oak and as a bonus some great firewood. Great service 100% will be back again. Cheers Wolf

The staff and products at Vastern Timber are top quality. I use these guys for all my timber and would highly recommend them for their knowledge, service and product quality and range!

Vasterns is the best Timber yard around, after having nothing but trouble with English Woodlands timber and their lack of communication, we contacted Vasterns and spoke with Wolf.
He was so helpful and friendly, the knowledge he has over all aspects of the Timber yard is incredible, we needed a large slab of Kiln dried Oak for a table top amongst other stuff.
The price was hugely cheaper than the other yards and to be able to get someone to get back to us asap and not direct us to a confusing website where everything seems to be on hold, was refreshing.
The whole yard is organised with the tree's being British grown, it really is a pleasure to deal with this company.
Thank you Wolf for always being helpful and answering the phone, it's appreciated.
We will never go anywhere else!

Chris H.

Great service and helpful staff. With a wide selection of waney Edge British timber, you can sort through any of the packs to find exactly what you're looking for which is a huge plus!

Paul S.

From the very start of my waney edge cladding project Dee at Vastern provided invaluable advice and guidance. First class customer service and quality timber I would highly recommend Vastern Timber for any size job you might want to undertake.
