Black cladding options


Bournbrook

Recommended Posts

Hi there. Just specifying some black external, vertical timber cladding on our new build. It is all in a fairly accessible place so maintenance is not too much of an issue, but still don’t want to be doing anything too regularly. We would like to go with real timber as opposites to a composite. We would like to do this fairly cost effectively. Does anyone have any recommendations on wood/stain we could use?

Bedec black barn paint. Like painting with yogurt. On softwood if you like (can come ready with basic stain/paint from factory) or hardwood if you want longer life (the wood, not you unfortunately).

 

Then there's a bunch of grilled wood options - search the forum.

We went with charred timber for some of our cladding and love it. I charred it myself and after a bit of trial and error got a pretty good system going. Happy to share if anyone wants to do similar

Not cheap but we went for Shou Sugi Ban (charred timber). Looks amazing and no maintenance at all. With the benefit of being fireproof, insect proof, weather proof. 

 

Do you have to do all faces & edges?

I have also been using this in the past week for my Barge boards initially. Goes on great with excellent coverage.  Recommend it.

 

£75 for 5 litres. I am more than half way done and less than half of the tin used.

I only charred the one side, though I stained the edges with a black wood stain
