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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

i, I came to your yard yesterday to purchase some waney edge ash on appointment. I wanted to let you all know what a helpful, friendly experience it was, especially Wolf for his patience and commitment to customer satisfaction. I usually go to English woodlands timber, but I'll be using Vastern from now on! Thanks again,
kind regards Will Tyers (Wills Workshop Van conversions)

No wonder Vastern has so many great reviews. From start to finish they were friendly, helpful, knowledgable and so professional.

I’m building a shed from scratch with minimal DIY experience and cladding it with Larch waney edge shiplap. They’ve helped me through every stage and nothing was to much bother for them.

All the staff are a credit to the business but I have to say that Stefan was exceptional with his customer care throughout the purchasing.

I collected my order and of arrival I was greeted by Andy aka Wolf. What a guy, great customer care, incredible with his forklift skills and a very professional well mannered and a fun character.

As I needed to adjust my payment, I went in to the office, fully masked up of course. There I spoke to Dee who kindly refunded me the difference. Again her and her colleague were very polite and professional but with great personality.

Although Vastern Timber is a 2 hour drive for me, the level of service, the quality of the product, the knowledge provided and the very reasonable pricing all make it very worth it...and there’s also the bonus of dealing with an amazing team whilst you’re there.

Top job Vastern, it was an absolute pleasure!!!

Vastern timber isn't the closest to me, however I will make the time to go to them. They always hold a selection of British timber and are very knowledgeable of the timber they sell. The staff are fantastic and I always get great service.

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 .

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 .

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.

Debbie R.

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.

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!

We ordered English Cedar to clad the outside of our bungalow. Initially we weren't sure what we needed, but Stefan was very helpful and knowledgeable and guided us through the whole process. He answered any queries and made it quick and easy to place our order. We were told how long it would take and our ordered was delivered very promptly once it had been milled. The product delivered is of a very high standard and we are extremely pleased. We cannot fault Vastern and would definitely recommend them. Many thanks to Stefan, the delivery driver (who was brilliant) and the whole team.

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!

ordered 50sq m of waney edge Oak from this company after speaking with a bloke Called Josh on e mail a few times ( he was very helpful and responded quickly to all e mails) so all done over the internet. The delivery was prompt and well within time scale price and quality excellent. very pleased would recommend them.

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.

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
