Cladding house exteriors in timber can immediately transform a tired home, as well as hiding architectural problems, such as cracks caused by subsidence. Timber can also be used to cover over pebbledash and provide an additional layer of insulation to the building, with larch, oak and cedar all being popular woods regularly used as planks for this purpose, as well as shingles. It is worth considering whether to face the rough or smooth side of the wood outwards, as the rough side will soak up more wood preserver, while the smooth side will arguably look more pleasing.
