Types of Cladding for Oak-Framed Homes

Blending Beauty with Protection

Cladding plays a vital role in defining the look and performance of your oak-framed home. It not only provides a protective barrier against the elements but also shapes the character, texture, and style of your building. With a variety of options available, you can create a finish that perfectly complements your design vision while ensuring long-lasting durability.

Timber Cladding

Warm and Natural

Timber cladding is a popular choice for oak-framed homes, offering a seamless connection to nature. Available in a variety of finishes such as oak, cedar, or larch, timber cladding weathers beautifully over time and enhances the natural charm of your home.

  • Renewable and sustainable
  • Can be left untreated for a silvered look, or finished for richer tones
  • Works well with traditional and contemporary styles

Brick Cladding

Timeless and Sturdy

Brick cladding brings strength, heritage, and classic appeal. Perfect for blending your oak frame with existing buildings or creating a traditional country look.

  • Exceptional durability and low maintenance
  • Available in a wide range of colours and textures
  • Offers excellent thermal mass for energy efficiency

Stone Cladding

Rustic and Elegant

Stone cladding gives your home a solid, rustic charm with a natural, earthy appeal. From locally sourced stone to more refined finishes, it’s ideal for creating a home that feels rooted in its landscape.

  • Long-lasting and weather-resistant
  • Enhances character and prestige
  • Perfect for countryside settings

Rendered Cladding

Clean and Contemporary

Render is a versatile finish that works beautifully alongside oak framing. Available in a wide choice of colours and textures, it can create a modern look or soften and brighten traditional designs.

  • Smooth, clean appearance
  • Wide choice of colours
  • Can improve weatherproofing

Mixed Material Cladding

Unique and Distinctive

For a truly bespoke look, many self-builders choose to combine different cladding materials. Pairing timber with stone, or brick with render, creates contrast, depth, and individuality.

  • Adds visual interest and balance
  • Highlights architectural features
  • Allows you to blend tradition with modern design
