Earth-wood Cladding
The Earth-wood Cladding range of products have been designed as a direct result of an increasing demand from industry professionals for a quality, durable and low maintenance alternative to current exterior wood cladding products.
Due to Ireland’s geographical location on the edge of the Atlantic and caught between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, Ireland has a unique climate of being very wet & damp where problems of fungus, mildew and green algae are very common. Irelands climate was once described as being one of the most challenging in Western Europe with wind speeds up to two and a half times stronger than our northern European neighbours in Norway, Sweden and Denmark who have colder, drier and less damp climatic conditions. Similar drier air conditions exist in countries like Canada where there is substantial use of products like Cedar and where the performance of these products are significantly better.
In Ireland this damp and penetrating weather reacts with current products such as Cedar and Larch in a manner which is very different to the markets where these products are known to have exceptional life span in exterior cladding applications. In Ireland it is not uncommon to see unsightly, untreated timber cladding being replaced after only ten years with clear evidence of the impact of our aggressive climate in terms of surface degradation, colour loss, splits, cracks and twisted boards.
The Benefits of Earth-wood Cladding 
It’s long lasting – The supremacy of Earth-wood Cladding as a durable all weather building material which is made from recycled wood and polymer materials, will not rot or decay and is insect resistant. It’s strong – Earth-wood Cladding has excellent dimensional stability and endurance. It lays flat, stays straight and will not twist; crack or split.
It’s Environmentally friendly and Safe – Earth-wood Cladding does not contain any chemicals or resins and is safe for all exterior cladding applications. It does not need to be stained, preserved, painted or treated. (However it can be painted if required)
It’s attractive – Earth-wood Cladding comes in a choice of three designs with up to six colours to meet your requirements with the option of custom design/colours available (subject to quantity). It will retain its appeal for many years and will not degrade in appearance and colour like traditional wood cladding.
It’s versatile – Earth-wood Cladding is versatile in terms of its application. Vertical or horizontal, Earth-wood is attractive and environmentally friendly. It allows for greater flexibility in design and can be used for any scale of building.
It’s cost effective –Earth-wood Cladding is a low maintenance (cleaning only if required) and cost effective exterior cladding material for building projects from social housing to commercial projects.
Earth-wood cladding is an investment for the future. No cladding looks as good or lasts as long.
