Abodo Cladding is a high quality clear grade cladding timber which has been thermally modified to provide enhanced stability, reduced resin content and very high natural durability. Although naturally durable, Abodo can be factory coated for added performance and aesthetics with Millcoat coatings. As Abodo is a low movement product, it is ideally suited for surface textures, factory coating and is compatible with FRX fire treatment. All our timbers are harvested from FSC® certified, rapidly renewable plantation forests . They are ethically crafted with respect from beginning to end allowing us to meet todays increasing needs without disadvantaging future generations .

Millworks® offer in-house advanced factory coating systems in collaboration with industry leading paint manufacturers. After extensive research and development, Millworks® use innovative technology in our state of the art finishing line which produces consistent coating results for any project. Surface texture can be added to create accentuated depth to the timber, this also increases coating performance. For best results Milltex® surface finish is recommended.

Specifically manufactured stainless-steel fixings, available in secret-fix, face-fix or facade clip systems, are designed for Millworks® timber cladding and decking profiles. Our fixings ensure long service life for best performance of the timber and coatings in any location. These systems can be written into the NBSH21 specification.

Millworks® Mokuzai® uses 'Shousugiban', a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation by charring with fire. Each piece is burned, textured and then coated, resulting in a scorched finish bringing out the natural beauty of the woods texture and grain pattern with a magnificent depth of colour. Different surface finishes can be achieved depending on the wood species, burn intensity, texture and coatings.

Siberian Larch is an attractive, contemporary cladding with a long and reliable lifespan. Straight grained, with tight annual rings and relatively few knots, boards come in a range of warm colours. Millworks® Siberian Larch is kiln dried at source, increasing the stability and making the moisture level optimum for factory processes and its intended environment. Our Siberian Larch Cladding is sourced from old-growth, slow grown logs, plentiful in the vast forest region of Northern Europe. Sustainably sourced from FSC® certified sawmills with a full chain of custody.

Thermowood® (Redwood) cladding is carefully selected from leading PEFC certified Finnish sawmills and suitable for use on a range of external building projects. Using a unique heat treatment modification process, reaching up to 212c, properties in the timber change permanently, making it resistance to fungi and giving a service life of over 30 years. Millworks® Thermowood® is less likely to warp, twist or cup due to the inability to absorb moisture, making it perfect for factory coatings.

Cedar is a very stable cladding timber with a long and maintenance free service life. Due to its low density and low shrinkage factor it resists warping, twisting and checking, making it a great choice for external exposure. If left untreated, Millworks® Western Red Cedar will weather unevenly to a silver-grey. Although naturally durable, Cedar can be factory coated for added aesthetics and performance. Coating options include translucent UV protection or, when treated with OrganoWood®, a consistent weathering to silver-grey. Millworks® Western Red Cedar Cladding is attractive, sustainable and has exceptional performance. Slow grown in The Pacific North West of Canada and sustainably sourced from leading sawmills with a full chain of custody.
