Sivalbp Douglas Fir
Thermally modified European Douglas Fir from Sivalbp offers pre-weathered timber cladding. The solvent free coating will provide a low maintenance grey timber cladding product.
Key properties
PEFC certified, French grown Douglas Fir Timber Cladding is another option from the Sivalbp range through Vincent Timber.
Boards are selected to contain knots, and lean towards the rustic/ traditional timber cladding appearance. Douglas Fir from Sivalbp has a low maintenance regime and is suited to the lighter colours within the range due it its natural light appearance. As with the other species, Sivalbp Douglas Fir will naturally weather down over time to a silver/ grey as the sacrificial coating weathers back.
