Cladding



Thermo Limba Cladding
Thermo Limba (also known as Fraké wood) is a thermally modified timber that is ideal for exterior cladding projects. Through thermal modification, the cladding becomes more stable and durable, with a longer lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements. It also gives the timber a deeper nutty brown colour, which ages beautifully evenly.
The thermal process does not use chemicals and reduces the need for the use of wood preservative treatments, making it an environmentally friendly option. All our Thermo Limba is FSC® certified, ensuring it is from well-managed and sustainable sources.
