Exclusive Products & Innovation

Innovation has always been an important part of Vincent Timber’s approach. Alongside supplying many of the world’s leading timber species, we’ve developed proprietary treatment systems and formed exclusive partnerships that give architects, contractors and developers more choice when specifying timber.

One example is VTX Preservative®, Vincent Timber’s own high-pressure preservative treatment. Available as VTX Pigmented® and VTX Zero®, it provides long-lasting protection against rot and fungal decay while enhancing the natural appearance of timber. Developed in response to changing specification requirements, VTX Pigmented® also offers a high-performance alternative for projects seeking the rich brown aesthetic associated with products such as NORclad Brunnea®.

We’re also proud to be the exclusive UK partner for Cape Cod® Wood Siding, a premium pre-finished timber cladding system renowned for its exceptional quality, factory-applied finish and industry-leading 15-year paint warranty. Combining the beauty of natural timber with outstanding long-term performance, Cape Cod® offers architects a low-maintenance cladding solution without compromising on design.

We also exclusively supply Sivalbp®, a premium pre-finished timber cladding range and a strong alternative to SiOO:X. Sivalbp’s factory-applied saturator deeply penetrates the timber, enhancing the natural colour while allowing it to weather gradually to a consistent silver-grey patina. Sivalbp® timber cladding is highly desirable for projects wanting very low ongoing maintenance.

These exclusive products reflect Vincent Timber’s commitment to quality, technical excellence and helping customers specify timber solutions that deliver lasting performance, durability and architectural impact.

Exceptional service and very helpful team.
From my first enquiry to delivery the service was highly professional. Louis from the sales team was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and patient, putting us under pressure whilst we decided on the best option for our job. The delivery driver was equally friendly and helpful. You can tell this is a company that puts the customer at the centre of their business but also values their employees. Would definitely use again.”
– Ian, 2026, Trustpilot
Been doing business with Vincent for just over a year. Moved from a previous supplier who were beginning to fail, missing key delivery dates & prices forever going north. Vincent have been brilliant & I will continue using them. Please keep up the excellent service. FYI – Love their products, amazing quality & competitive rates.
