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’ve been to Vastern Timber Supply a couple of times now, and each visit has been a great experience. The staff are always helpful, polite, and genuinely friendly, which makes the whole process easy and enjoyable. They have an amazing selection of timber, and I’ve always been able to find exactly what I was looking for. Special mention to Wolf for going above and beyond—he was incredibly helpful and made the visit even better sharing his knowledge and experience. Highly recommend to anyone in need of quality timber and top-notch service!

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.

I went to Vastern to get a burr oak waney edge board. Their customer service was excellent, I was given a lot of help and advice to pick out the very board that met my needs to make my river table. I went back to get some planed oak for the legs/base. Thoroughly recommended!
Edit Oct 2024: Visited again to get some planed oak boards for a custom lounge light. Customer service and the personal touch was still top notch!

I've been a customer of Vastern timber for years but a few days ago I had a "needle in a haystack" situation , having to finding a slab of waney edge timber with burr for a worktop that would fit the criteria for this project .
I asked a member of staff for help finding the right piece, Mr Wolf went above and beyond to help us and not only did he find the right piece for us , he was extremely helpful in giving us advice on how to fit it and treat a beautiful piece .
A rare plank of burr Elm is the perfect addition to our campervan kitchen worktop.
Thank you so much Mr Wolf for your 5 star service .

The range of wood options is impressive, and the quality is unmatched.
