Heat-treated poplar cladding…

Hannu and Sally are pleased with all aspects of their contemporary home, including the Brimstone heat-treated poplar cladding. Together with the Equitone fibre cement cladding, they feel it will help the house blend into the hillside as it ages over the years. Made of British grown wood, Brimstone poplar is a thermally modified timber cladding that’s sustainable and responsibly harvested. Relatively free of knots, it’s durable and ages evenly. Although the timber is initially not as strong as some types of wood, thermal treatment transforms the material into an ideal product for use as cladding, which is highly resistant to pests and rot, plus is certified to withstand the weather for over 30 years.
