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.

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.

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.

By far best timber supplier I've had the pleasure of purchasing from. From initial email enquiry to selection and pick up was a doddle. Transparent pricing, great value for such quality timber. Wolf is a total dude, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly.

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.

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 .

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

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!

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.

Ashley K.

I recently visited Vastern timber by appointment for some character double waney edge timber. The team were extremely helpful and upon arrival I was greeted by Andy who was very helpful in finding the best slab based on my criteria.

Their knowladge and timber selection far exceeded my expectations and I will definatley be using the excellent company again without hesitation.

I hope this review helps others pick up the phone to make a well worth visit.

Thanks Vastern and thank alot Andy

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.
