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.

Bought some wood for a shelf from Vastern Timbers and had a great experience. Wolf was incredibly helpful—he found the perfect piece for our needs and got it ready quickly. Excellent service and really knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

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, 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)

The best timber supplier I've used. Excellent pricing, great value for money and top quality timber with massive stocks. Staff were knowledgeable, efficient and couldn't do enough for you, even had a biscuit for my dog.

From the very start of my waney edge cladding project Dee at Vastern provided invaluable advice and guidance. First class customer service and quality timber I would highly recommend Vastern Timber for any size job you might want to undertake.

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.

Great selection of Native hardwood.
I picked up some superb Pippy Oak for a Bespoke Kitchen project for a client today. Special thanks to Wolf for some great service enthusiasm and knowledge.

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!

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 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!

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.

Excellent selection of solid Oak floor, with great attention to detail and knowledge of timber.
Looks Stunning!

I was greeted by Andy who had a great knowledge of the products and was quick to recognise what was best for my requirements. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

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.

Fantastic range of timber available and the team are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended

Matthew M.

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'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 .

Great service, wide knowledge and selection of British timbers. Inspiring place and people!

Andrew C.

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. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, thank you so much to Stefan and Wolf for providing a first class service.

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

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.

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!
