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 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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

From the start Dee was so helpful with arranging our appointment to view Vasterns huge array of timber including kiln dried slabs and live edge pieces. We were promptly taken around to view the larger slabs by Wolf and advised on the various timbers they have I'm stock. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Cannot fault their service will be back👍🏻

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.
