Outdoor
Timber Spaces

Timber is used across a wide range of outdoor applications, from cladding and screening to landscaping and garden structures. The choice of material, profile and finish allows each space to be shaped around privacy, durability and appearance.

Ways to Use Timber

Timber is widely used across outdoor environments, from façades and screening to terraces, ceilings and landscape features. Its natural appearance, combined with the ability to machine, finish and detail it in different ways, allows it to suit a broad range of architectural styles. With the right material selection and detailing, timber performs reliably in exposed conditions while bringing warmth, texture and consistency across external spaces.

Timber Decking

Timber decking is used to create functional outdoor spaces such as terraces and walkways. Board size, spacing and fixing all play a role in performance and appearance, particularly in exposed conditions. A stable timber with consistent machining allows for easier installation and a more uniform finished surface underfoot.

Timber Screening 

Timber screening is used to introduce privacy, define boundaries and control visibility without fully enclosing a space. The spacing between boards determines how open or closed the screen appears, while board size and layout influence the overall rhythm and scale. It is commonly used in both residential and commercial settings where separation and airflow are required.

Timber for Sauna

Timber is well suited to sauna environments where consistent performance and dimensional stability are required under heat. The choice of timber influences both appearance and feel, with smoother finishes often preferred internally. Careful selection and machining ensure the boards perform reliably while maintaining a clean, uniform finish.

Ceilings and Soffits

Timber ceilings, soffits and overhangs are used to bring warmth and continuity to sheltered exterior areas. By extending the material from façade to underside, a more cohesive architectural finish can be achieved. Profile selection and joint detail are important to maintain clean lines and consistent alignment across the surface.
