Timber is a material that is easy to work and can be moulded into various shapes and profiles/patterns, hence one of its greatest benefits. Below we have a list of the most popular cladding profiles and description of how they are used either vertical or horizontal application. Vertical or Horizontal installations are more critical on exterior applications and less of an issue in internal applications.
