Sikkens WF771 is a very natural looking stain as it allows the natural timber colour to show through, it is also very easy to apply. We will normally deliver with 18 ton curtain sided truck & the driver will remove the cladding by hand. What are the differences between grade 2 clear, grade 4 clear & grade A western red cedar?
We specialise in milling cladding and offer unrivalled quality, expertise and customer service. We can also deliver promptly to site informing customers of the delivery time. We usually phone customers as we get close to the address to keep waiting time to a minimum. We do not use couriers. Timber cladding prices are based on quantity, please contact us for a very competitive quotation.
We concentrate on importing and milling Cedar Cladding which means we can offer unrivalled expertise & support. This also allows us to supply at extremely competitive prices delivered throughout the country. Canadian Cedar Cladding prices from 31.50 per m2 for a planed rebated feather edge and from 62.90 per m2 for face fix 18 x 144mm profiles.
Siberian Larch is becoming a very popular cladding timber due to its natural durability and attractive light appearance. Siberian Larch cladding prices of about 50.00 per square meter for our premium grade (1-111) in a secret fix profile. Larch quality varies greatly but we have achieved a reliable supply from the Lake Baikal region of Siberia where the best Larch logs are to be found.
Thermowood was developed to offer similar durability and stability properties to Western Red Cedar at a lower cost. We mill Thermowood decking and Thermowood cladding. Thermowood is more knotty and harder than cedar. We mill with care ensuring the heart side of the timber is on the correct side into secret fix decking and cladding.

Purchased Western Red Cedar for a Garden Room
Grade 2 clear only premium grade
Timber arrived carefully interlocked and removed from kerbside by ourselves. Timber arrived in 4.8m lengths. Wonderful quality but did require some time to later cut down to 2.4m.
No knots were present in any of the timber.
30% of the WRC was straight grained the remaining had some variation in grain direction and colour. For the exterior I used Clear Awatrol to seal It had an even-ing out effect on the appearance. The inside cladding has been left untreated.
I would use again and recommend Benchmark Timber based

I can't thank Paul and Elaine enough. They provided the cladding for my home a while ago now and it continues to age beautifully and provide endless pleasure. They are a fantastic team and compliment each other very well. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will myself be using them again, hopefully very soon!

What a benchmark (excuse the pun) for Customer Service! I have just phoned for a quote and felt compelled to write a review as the way Elaine handled my enquiry was superb. She took the time to explain everything to me where others have just left me confused. Thank you Elaine.
