Welcome to a world of inspiration 

bringing you the finest quality and 

choice of cladding products 

At Arnold Laver Timber World we have been working with timber 

for over eighty years, and we recognise that the appeal of natural 

materials such as wood, is based partly on its inherent beauty 

and strength. This is demonstrated in the growing popularity and 

appreciation of timber when it is used for the cladding of a building, 

whether it is a private property or a commercial application. 

A Single-source Solution... 

we have developed what we believe is a first class 

product and service offer, which combined, provides 

our customers with a single-source solution for all their 

cladding requirements. Ranging from advice on materials 

and designs through to installation, coating application 

and planned maintenance. 

Match Your Budget... 

as timber experts we are able to utilise our extensive 

sourcing and procurement network to obtain the right 

products at the right prices. This in turn allows us to offer 

a broad range of products, which will provide an effective, 

attractive and affordable offer, which will match your 

budget. 

Timber Experts... 

Arnold Laver Timber World has experience of supplying 

timber since 1920. Our reputation and expertise is second 

to none. We take great pride in our ability to provide no 

nonsense advice and guidance throughout the entire 

specification and purchasing process – we are here to help, 

and make this the focus of our approach in providing what 

the customer needs. 

Environmental Responsibilities... 

we are always thinking about the environment and 

our responsibilities to ensure that we play our part in 

helping to promote responsible purchasing. To this end 

we are signatories to the UK Timber Trade Federation’s 

Responsible Purchasing Policy, and also look to ensure 

that all of our cladding products are purchased from 

suppliers who are accredited with one of the 

internationally recognised schemes – 

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) – www.fsc-uk.org 

Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Control 

(PEFC) – www.pefc.org 

Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI) – www.afandpa.org 

Canadian Standards Association (CSA) – www.csa.ca 

At Arnold Laver Timber World we actively support and 

promote the legal and sustainable timber certification 

schemes and endeavour to source all of our timber 

materials in an ethical manner. All of our cladding 

products are covered by one of these certification schemes 

and all our main Timber World branches have third party 

audited Chain of Custody accreditation providing you 

and your customer with peace of mind. 

All Of The Products And Services You Will Need... 

we are here to make the purchasing and installation of 

cladding as easy as possible, so we work hard to ensure 

that all aspects of both our material and service offer 

are something you can rely on. We have developed our 

products over time, to cover the wide range of cladding 

materials available. This, together with a full family of 

services, provides our customer base with an offer that 

we feel cannot be beaten. 

A Family Of Services... 

Stock – we hold a substantial amount of material 

throughout the Group, enabling us to deliver your full 

requirements on time via our dedicated delivery fleet. 

Estimating – our estimating facility uses the experience 

we have gained over the years to arrive at the optimum 

product solution that matches your requirements. We are 

confident that we can respond to any enquiry within 

24 hours of receipt. We will also – where appropriate – 

suggest any improvements in your specification that may 

assist in the design and development of your application.

Kilning – materials are, where appropriate, kiln dried to 

achieve optimum consistency and performance, so that 

once installed, the cladding not only looks attractive but 

does exactly what it should. The process of kilning can also 

help in the handling and fixing of the timber, as it helps to 

reduce the weight by drawing away excess moisture. 

Machining – there is already a wide range of choices when 

it comes to the profiles for external cladding, and we hold 

a good range of these materials in stock at any one time. 

However, we also have the facility to machine bespoke 

profiles to a specific pattern should this be required. 

Fire Treatment – where the application of the product 

requires that the cladding be treated to help reduce any 

likelihood of fire, we can ensure that the goods are 

pre-treated and delivered to site ready to fix. If you need to 

comply with Building Regulations on fire protection, our 

partner Arch Timber Protection, offers a range of industrial 

pre-treatments for timber and related substrates at its Fire 

Retardant Treatment Centre. 

Fully / part finished – as we all know, time is money, 

which is why at Arnold Laver Timber World we have access 

to a complete range of finishing solutions to meet your 

requirements. By providing you with a finished product, 

we can reduce the installation time as well as ensure 

that the finish is both colour correct and to the required 

standard. Our partner Akzo Nobel specialises in the 

development and supply of innovative protection 

products, Sikkens among others, to meet stringent 

industry and regulatory demands. 

A Family Of Products... 

Smartside is a treated engineered wood siding product, 

that is a blend of wood strands, water-resistant resins, wax 

and zinc borate. This stable construction is completed with 

a tough Kraft paper overlay, which provides the effect of a 

natural timber-grained texture along with great strength, 

stability and durability. 

Smartside 

Smartside provides the natural warmth of wood with the 

added advantage of extra long panels and a warranty that 

lasts up to 30 years. Manufactured from exterior grade 

0SB, the material can be cut and machined like wood and 

is available in a range of colours that are factory finished 

and complemented with an extensive range of accessories 

such as fascias, soffits, trims and colour-match nails. The 

surface finish is guaranteed for 12, 15 or 25 years 

depending on your preferred option. 

Siberian Larch (Larix Decidua) 

Larch is the perfect cladding material for projects such 

as schools, walkways, commercial and public areas where 

a high impact, durable, attractive product is required. 

The colour of larch can vary from golden brown to pale 

yellow and with its easy workability it lends itself to 

drilling sawing and sanding. 

ThermoWood® 

ThermoWood® is a physically engineered timber that 

is produced by specialist heat treating Scandinavian 

Redwood/Whitewood. It is this alteration in structure 

that results in a more stable, anti-fungal timber ideal 

for use in exterior applications. 

Canadian Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata) 

Western Red Cedar, with its unique range of properties 

including workability, performance, versatility and weather 

resistant characteristics, have propelled this timber to 

become the number one choice in cladding, for architects 

and specifiers. This timber has excellent stability and is 

ideal for outdoor projects, with its inherent resistance to 

decay and fungal attacks. It is also able to dampen sound 

vibrations and has superior thermal insulation properties. 

Visually this is a beautiful timber, with colour variations 

from pale honey through to a deep rich brown. Left to 

weather naturally, Cedar will turn an attractive silver grey 

colour. Our wide range of products is further extended, 

by stocking Cedar Shingles, for use in roofing and the 

cladding of vertical surfaces. 

Accoya 

Accoya is a ‘new wood species’ whose performance 

credentials have been extensively researched and 

repeatedly demonstrated. It is a product that has 

properties, which match those of the best tropical 

hardwoods, yet, it is manufactured using a non-toxic 

acetylisation treatment and wood from sustainable 

sources. With Class 1 durability, dimensional stability, 

resistance to mould and insects and ease in machining, 

andthe treatment provides a life expectancy externally 

of 50/60 years unprotected with surface coatings. 

Accoya represents a significant step forward in wood 

technology. This is the ideal material for exterior 

cladding, providing improved life expectancy of 

surface coatings for up to 10 years. 

Hardwood 

Various durable species of hardwood are suitable for 

cladding, including Cumaru, Red Louro and Ipe, which are 

also available as FSC Certified.
