Why choose Logie Timber Cladding?
Logie Timber cladding is designed to weather naturally, perform reliably, and sit comfortably within the landscape around it. We use Scottish-grown timber selected for long-term outdoor use in our climate, then machine it in-house for consistency, stability, and straightforward installation.
Different species weather, move, and settle in different ways, which is why material choice matters just as much as profile or finish. Where treatment is needed, it should support the timber, not compensate for poor material selection.
The result is cladding that feels natural from the outset and continues to age with consistency and character over time.
Why does our approach to timber cladding matter?
Scottish & Traceable
Scottish-grown timber, fully traceable from woodland to mill and certified under the Grown in Britain standard.
Built for Performance
Profile, drainage, ventilation, and fixing details all play a role in long-term cladding performance.
Designed to Weather Well
The right timber choice reduces the need for excessive treatments or coatings later on.
Right Material First
Species, exposure, and environment all influence how timber ages and performs outdoors.
The result is timber cladding that is easier to specify, more predictable to work with, and better suited to long-term outdoor use.

Find Your Profile
The right profile depends on appearance, exposure, installation detail, and the character you want the building to develop over time.
Shiplap
Clean horizontal lines with a refined, contemporary finish and effective drainage.
Shadow Gap
Defined shadow lines and concealed fixings for a sharper contemporary appearance.
Rainscreen
Open-joint cladding designed for improved ventilation and moisture management.
Waney Edge
Defined shadow lines and concealed fixings for a sharper contemporary appearance.
02.
Choose Your Species
Different timber species vary in movement, stability, durability, colour, and how they weather over time.
The right choice depends on exposure, desired appearance, maintenance expectations, and the character you want the building to develop over time.
Scottish Larch
Scottish Larch is often chosen for its strong natural character, visible grain, and suitability for more exposed rural and contemporary buildings.
It weathers naturally outdoors and develops variation in tone and texture over time. Larch tends to show more movement than Cedar, which forms part of its more expressive appearance once installed.
Best for
Exposed sites, rural builds, and projects where texture and variation are part of the finished look.
Movement
Moderate movement with more visible variation across boards.
Appearance
Pronounced grain, warmer colour, and more natural character from board to board.
Weathering
Silvers naturally and develops a more textured surface over time.
Typical use
Rural homes, agricultural buildings, outbuildings, and exposed façades.
Douglas Fir
Douglas Fir offers a cleaner grain structure and warmer tone, often selected where a more refined but natural appearance is preferred.
It machines well, performs reliably outdoors when properly detailed, and generally shows more stability than Larch over time.
Best for
Contemporary projects, cleaner elevations, and builds where a more uniform appearance is preferred.
Movement
Moderate to low movement with improved stability and consistency.
Appearance
Straighter grain, cleaner lines, and a more even tone across boards.
Weathering
Softens gradually to a more even silver-grey.
Typical use
Contemporary homes, sheltered elevations, and more refined façades.
Western Red Cedar
Western Red Cedar is valued for its stability, lighter weight, and more consistent long-term appearance.
Its lower movement and uniform texture make it well suited to contemporary detailing, especially where cleaner lines and reduced visual variation are preferred.
Best for
Projects where stability, consistency, and lower movement matter most.
Movement
Low movement with strong dimensional stability.
Appearance
Fine grain, lighter weight, and a more consistent appearance.
Weathering
Weathers evenly to a soft silver-grey with minimal visual disruption.
Typical use
Contemporary cladding, detailed façades, and low-maintenance applications.
*Timber is a natural material, and variation between boards should be expected. Grain, knots, colour, and movement all form part of the character of real wood.

How does timber cladding weather over time?
Untreated timber cladding will weather naturally outdoors. All three species will gradually weather to a silver-grey tone.
The speed and consistency of this change depends on exposure, elevation, and surrounding conditions. Larch tends to show more variation early on, while cedar remains more even. This shift is a natural part of the material, not a defect.
Will timber cladding perform well outdoors?
Yes, when the right species, detailing, ventilation, and fixing methods are used together. Timber cladding is designed to move, drain, dry, and weather naturally as outdoor conditions change.
Long-term performance depends on more than the timber alone. Exposure, profile choice, airflow behind the boards, fixing detail, and installation quality all influence how cladding behaves over time. We regularly advise on species suitability, exposure conditions, detailing approaches, and long-term maintenance expectations before projects begin.

Scottish Timber Cladding FAQs
The best species depends on exposure, appearance, maintenance expectations, and the level of natural variation preferred. Larch, Douglas Fir, and Western Red Cedar all behave differently outdoors over time.
Not always. Many species can weather naturally without coating, although some projects may benefit from additional treatment depending on exposure and desired appearance.
Timber cladding can last for decades when the correct species, detailing, ventilation, and installation methods are used together.
Yes. Untreated timber naturally weathers towards silver-grey tones as it responds to sunlight, moisture, and exposure conditions outdoors.
Timber is a natural material and some movement should always be expected. Species choice, moisture content, detailing, and ventilation all influence how much movement occurs over time.
Yes. We regularly advise on species selection, profile choice, exposure conditions, detailing, and installation considerations before projects are ordered.
Yes. We supply Scottish-grown timber cladding throughout the UK for residential, architectural, agricultural, and commercial projects.
Yes. Boards are visually assessed throughout machining and grading before leaving the mill to help maintain consistency and quality control.
Rough sawn cladding offers a more textured and natural appearance, while planed cladding creates a cleaner and more refined finish.
Yes. We regularly work with self-builders, homeowners, architects, and contractors at both early planning and final specification stages.
