Timber cladding has become a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects, making it essential that merchants are equipped to guide customers toward the most suitable options. While often selected for its visual appeal, timber cladding also serves a vital role as a rainscreen, however, if not installed correctly there is a risk of performance issues such as poor drainage and ventilation. Here, TDUK explains what merchants need to know.

Each month, TDUK’s Timber Topics offers top tips for merchants on the best timber products to stock and how best to upsell timber to their customers.
