Cladding
Without doubt the external finish of
a building or structure is paramount
to its overall appeal. Timber cladding
can enormously improve the exterior
aesthetic of a structure. Using timber
to partially clad a building can either
modernise or traditionalise new or
existing buildings in equal measure.
We select only the highest quality larch
logs sourced from FSC® certified British
forests to create our cladding boards.
Our boards come from a heartwood-
based selection and are kiln dried and
appearance graded to ensure the finest
timber product.
Typically warmer in appearance than its
Siberian counterpart, British grown larch
boasts a rich heartwood colour, more grain
character and displays a greater number of
rustic knots.
Our cladding boards are manufactured
in line with the TDCA CladMark quality
assurance scheme. This verifies our factory
production control procedures and ensures
consistency of quality.

test results
We believe our heatlogs are the best in the
market - and we have the test results to prove it.
The open fire tests were carried out in a 4.57m high brick chimney fitted with a
refractory fireback conforming to BS 12511.
Two consecutive refuel periods were undertaken for each log. The start and finish radiation level was taken as 1.3kW.
For the c omparison tests the same mass of logs were used for each log, this was 3 .97kg, the mass of Hotties logs.

density for your money. Why pay for water when you can buy dried wood with a m oisture content of around 6%.
The difference in the heat output and radiant mean figures is due to the fact that Radiant heat has a higher watts
output per metre, per degree than convection heating. A product requires less radiant heat for less time to do the job
of a standard convected product over a longer period of time.
