Dropped in by chance recently as I ideally wanted a tactile (kiln dried) oak plank for my bathroom. Amazed at the choice from the warehouse stocked full of various sized planks and woods to chose from! The customer service was excellent, as was the smell - as well as knowing the oak I chose was responsibly sourced!I would definitely recommend anyone upgrading a table, needing a worktop, making shelves etc visiting this treasure trove for something truly unique & very affordable!

Something so good about being able to select some great quality timber that has been grown and harvested close to home and skillfully dried and graded by Vastern. I've been using them for years, and always have much appreciated help to select what I need. My customers love to know that the timber used on their project was locally sourced too, which is a bonus.

Just received my order from Vastern Timber and loved the quality of Brimstone Ash which arrived early. I then ran out and required a small additional quantity and instead of the usual 12 week it was supplied in 3 weeks. Thanks a lot Stefan and the team.

Since opening our workshop Murray & Gould Ltd in 2022, Vasterns Timber has become our first choice timber merchant. It certainly helps being local, which got us through the door the first time around, but it’s the service and quality of products that keeps us going back.It’s so easy to make an appointment giving details of what timber and dimensions you wish to select.The timber is made accessible and ready by the time of the appointment which saves so much time. You are taken through the process by ‘Wolf’, who is happy to help however he can to find the timber boards that you require. He’s incredibly patient and helpful so you don’t feel at all rushed or pressured to select unsatisfactory boards, as is often the case elsewhere.The prices have been good every time we’ve been and very fair on any ‘character’ in the boards.If they have, or can source, the species we need, then they are our first port of call. Having been shown round the whole site by Wolf, we have a great picture of the huge stock that is available and the variations within them.David GouldMurray & Gould Ltd

I had a great experience today rummaging through packs of oak in the sun at Vasterns. All the team were friendly and helpful but especially Wolf who spent a long time with me going through the packs of timber and even taking the time to show me a few bits around the site, he was great to deal with and he sorted me out with a beautiful load of timber give that man a pay rise!!See you next time,Josh

Halflap Cladding

What is Halflap Cladding?

Halflap cladding is a machined profile supplied with a smooth finish and an overlapping edge detail to create a waterproof façade. We offer halflap cladding in larch, cedar and all other dry timber species.

The halflap profile creates a clean linear appearance, ideal for contemporary new-builds and modern extensions to older properties. Halflap cladding can be fixed vertically or horizontally, although care should be taken to select the correct profile.

Our extensive range of halflap profiles offers a choice of board widths and edge details to suit specific design requirements. The varying lap sizes create a shadow gap from 2mm to 11mm.

How to fix
Halflap cladding is fixed through the face of the board either by hand or with a nail gun. We don’t recommend first fix nail guns because the effect can be a bit untidy but it does work and it is quick.

Because cedar and Brimstone are stable, we recommend installing these with a second fix nail gun. This method is quick and almost invisible.

Begin at the bottom (or the corner if installing vertically), ensuring that the first board is level or straight. Orientate the board so that the shadow gap is facing you and lap that is adjacent to the wall is pointing in the direction of progression.

It is important to include an expansion gap of 2mm between boards.

Hand nailing or first fix nail gun through the face
Insert a single 50mm stainless steel nail located 25 – 30mm above the lower lap. Pre-drill if hand nailing.

Second fix nail gun
(This method is only for Cedar and Brimstone!)

Insert one 50mm stainless brad nail through the lap and one through the face 25 – 30mm above the lower lap. Put the nails in at opposing angles.

Batten type
Treated softwood. 35mm thick x 50mm wide

Batten spacing
400 – 600mm

Nail type
50mm Stainless steel ring shank nail for hand nailing or first fix gun.
50mm Stainless steel brad nail for second fix nail gun.

When to fix
Year round. Ideally September to March
