Cladding a Kitchen Extension

[Energy4Vector]

Hi,

We have a kitchen extension which has failed render (all delaminated). I don’t really like render. Unfortunately the bricks underneath don’t look good so I was thinking about cladding it. I want a fairly rustic look so was considering wooden cladding.

Any advice on what timber to use? Shiplap looks a bit too formal. I was considering a simple feather edge? If so, is it worth going for oak feather edge for longevity and quality since it’s going on an extension rather than something like a shed.

Sounds like you want waney edge board.

Larch or cedar normally, elm if you can get it, oak may split

If you want very low maintenance look at cement plank cladding. https://www.jameshardie.co.uk/en/cladding/hardieplank
