Siberian Larch Cladding

Wood cladding containers is a sure way to make them stand out from the crowd.

It adds an attractive finish that transforms an otherwise unattractive metal box into something resembling a woodland cabin. Not only that, cladding is a simple way to satisfy planning regulations, especially in rural locations and Greenfield sites, where strict building regulations are in place.

While we offer three standard types of cladding, sometimes we need to source more specific types of wood for cladding for our clients, where planning requirements are especially stringent. We find that Siberian Larch wood is often an acceptable option in these cases. See our two case studies where we used Siberian Larch cladding to create an attractive and eco-friendly space for our clients at the newly reopened Great Yarmouth boating lake, and a garden centre in Snowdonia National Park.
