Surface Textures
Differing textures can be applied to timber cladding to offer a distinct visual and tactile experience, and allowing for a diverse range design possibilities.
The choice of texture depends on the desired aesthetic, the architectural style, and the overall design objectives of the project, and we offer three types, each with their own unique appearance and characteristics.
Product Details
-
Planed
Planed texture refers to a smooth, uniform surface that is achieved by machine-planing the wood, creating an even and sleek finish. This texture showcases the natural colour and grain of the timber, allowing for a more refined and contemporary appearance. Planed textures are often chosen for modern or minimalist designs, offering a clean and polished aesthetic that contributes to a sleek and sophisticated architectural style.
-
Fine Sawn
Fine Sawn texture is the result of a specific milling process where the wood is cut parallel to the grain, creating a rough, textured surface. This process leaves behind prominent, linear bandsaw markings, giving the timber a distinct, sawn appearance. Fine Sawn textures provide a rough, natural look, adding a sense of authenticity and raw appeal to the cladding. This texture is often favoured for its ability to evoke a sense of traditional craftsmanship and natural warmth in architectural designs. This finish can enhance the durability performance of a coating.
-
Brushed
This texture is achieved by brushing the wood's surface with a wire brush to remove the soft fibres, leaving the harder grains exposed. The result is a textured surface with a pronounced grain pattern and a weathered, rustic look. Brushed texture provides a natural and rugged appearance, working espcially well on softwoods, where the timber's wider grain and character is beautifully enhanced. It is popular for creating a more tactile and visually appealing finish, particularly suited for a traditional or rustic aesthetic.
