In the world of architectural design and sustainable construction, natural timber continues to stand out as a timeless and versatile material. One particular species that has earned a strong reputation in modern cladding solutions is Siberian Larch. At Timber Cladding Specialists, we take pride in offering high-quality timber solutions that combine performance, durability, and striking aesthetics—and our latest installation of Siberian Larch Batten Cladding is a prime example of that commitment.
Why Siberian Larch?
Siberian Larch is a premium softwood renowned for its density, natural resistance to decay, and minimal maintenance requirements. Sourced from slow-growing forests in cold climates, this timber develops tight growth rings, resulting in exceptional hardness and strength—qualities that make it ideal for external applications such as cladding.
In addition to its robust performance, Siberian Larch boasts a naturally rich, golden colour with beautiful grain variation that weathers gracefully over time to a silver-grey hue if left untreated. This makes it a favourite among architects and builders aiming for a contemporary, organic look.
The Project: Vertical Batten Cladding for a Striking Facade
The featured project demonstrates how Siberian Larch battens can transform a building’s facade into a dynamic architectural feature. Using our 45x45mm PAR (Planed All Round) Siberian Larch battens, we achieved a clean, modern aesthetic that also allows for breathability and thermal performance.
The vertical alignment of the battens creates a rhythmic texture, enhancing the natural depth and shadow play across the elevation throughout the day. Precision spacing and alignment around the windows further amplify the architectural detail, proving that beauty lies in the finer points of craftsmanship.
