Timber cladding for steel buildings
Timber cladding provides a building with a natural aesthetic

At Three Counties Steel Buildings we fully appreciate that not every location lends itself to a traditional steel clad building.

Particularly in countryside locations, planning constraints will often insist upon a softer exterior to any building.

In response to the need for large span buildings (not achievable economically with a building manufactured entirely from timber) 3CB now offers a timber clad alternative for the exterior of our steel framed buildings.

Before - a steel framed building After - a waney edge larch clad building showing the aesthetic benefits of the timber cladding
This is an example of a waney edge larch clad building showing the aesthetic benefits
of the timber cladding whilst the fully insulated building is totally weatherproof and, in this case, insulated.
This particular building also houses a 3m x 3m Bat Box at the request of our Clients.


Modern Timber Cladding for your steel buildings Timber cladding provides a solution to the dual requirement of a strong purpose built steel framed construction and the visually pleasing effects of a wooden structure
The result is an aesthetically pleasing exterior with all the benefits that a tough, durable steel frame brings including large open spans, high eaves, ready accommodation of large door sizes allowing access for equipment etc., and all this is achieved more economically and quickly than with a laminated timber frame.

Rural Timber Cladding for your steel buildings Multiple styles of cladding are available.

Many of our Customers value the opportunity to meet planning requirements with our product route which can be supplied as a roof and frame system with timber exterior offering a low cost, non insulated solution.

Alternatively the roof and walls can be provided clad in our sophisticated composite panel system with a timber overlay to achieve the cosmetic result desired by so many authorities.


This is achieved whilst retaining excellent thermal performance within the secure and watertight envelope.

Naturally all of our timbers are fully impregnated for extended life but additionally can be stained to achieve the chosen visual effect.

We offer a variety of timber cladding options to personalise your project. We have a range of timbers and profiles including Shiplap and Loglap timber cladding. Tongue and groove finish allows quick and easy construction, whereas Featheredge timber cladding allows a generous overhang on each board for a more 'rural' look.
