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, 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)

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

Always a great experience at Vastern. Prices are reasonable considering the quality is so good, and the staff are all very helpful & knowledgeable, even dealing with small quantity orders. Special shout out to Wolf, he's bloody brilliant. Always happy to help dig to the bottom of a pile to find the perfect boards for the job, and he's got a proper interest in timber and woodworking.

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.

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.

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 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 .
