How to order cladding

When enquiring, to help us create a quotation quicker we need to know the following. Please dont hesitate to phone if you need help deciding, we want you to be happy with the end result

1. Select Timber Species

In ABODO we offer two options, each are different in characteristics and price; flat sawn and vertical laminated. Both super stable and knot free however the laminated process offers further stability.

2. Select Profile

What appearance do you want your facade or timber clad project to look? All profiles will give off a different look, we can do all profiles with our on-site tooling station, but ask us if your having difficulty deciding

3. Select type of finish

Choose from a dressed, fine sawn or sawn finish. IF you are planning on staining/oiling/painting then a fine sawn/sawn is highly recommended

4. Coatings (optional)

All timber will weather to grey/silver in time. Fact. Do you want to prevent this or accelarate the weathering process? We can factory coat your cladding and recommend coating to achieve your desired aesthetic. (OSMO) wood stains provide the highest protection against the sun compared to oils.

4. Extras (optional)

Looking for something unique? Ask us about our riven effect (free of charge) textured finishes we can apply to your cladding! We are also the UK & Ireland agents for Holz Technic by Rothoblaas and can supply you with all the fixings you need. Last but not least, make your corners stand out by asking us about our different corner details

4. Delivery Location (important)

In order for us to work out an accurate delivery charge we need to know the site location and if there is suitable access for an arctic lorry – other arrangements can be made if there is limited access

The 2 popular profiles we are constantly machining are the WB12 (vertically fitted) and WB10 (both vertical and horizontally fitted) because they offer a secret fixing. The WB12 can also be machined with a centre and offset groove which gives a mixed width illusion

Testimonials

Thank you – The help you gave us was truly amazing – you said yes to what seemed an impossible request in a heartbeat and what a difference it made – The house looked beautiful and we’re all so proud of what everyone achieved – the family were utterly overwhelmed by the sheer force of goodwill that everyone showed them

Gordon Whistance, In House Designer | BBC DIY SOS
It was an easy choice to move to using Glenalmond Timber’s floor joist system. It gives an improved specification for many aspects of the build, including acoustics, ease of installation, lack of bounce in the floor as well of course as cost effectiveness. A great all-round product, it’s a lot more than just a joist and the level of service from Fraser has been a joy. Whenever you deal with people such as that, the business process becomes a pleasure
Steven Streets, Technical Manager | Muir Group

The larch cladding we got from you is outstanding. We absolutely love the smooth riven effect. Thanks again for supplying the cladding

Adam Turner, Happy Customer
Thanks for the impromptu tour on Friday. I was very impressed with your set-up there, great to see yours and Martin’s enthusiasm for the business and getting quality products out into the market so we can build with quality materials
Angus MacDonald, Morgan Sindall
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team for my order. We received it this morning and I am very impressed with the quality of the cladding and also how well it was all packaged. I would certainly recommend you to anyone who may be looking for cladding in the future.
Steve Holyland, Happy Customer
Fraser we are really happy with the finish and look. Actually the Abodo cladding is main thing people remark and compliment about the house, we’ve certainly been spreading the word about you guys and the Abodo cladding.
