More importantly, however, the cladding had to stay straight and true.
Excellent service Fast delivery We were proud to be one of the first companies to receive the GIB chain of custody certification. “With an insulating concrete framework system, all that was required was to nail the timber batten cladding on the outside of the house and fit the plasterboard to the inside as normal.” By using intense heat to reconfigure British hardwoods, we produce a durable, stable and consistent material.
Inspired by natural limestone found in the Appalachian Mountains, North America comes Brimstone - a beige meets grey porcelain tile that has all the beauty of a natural product without any of the upkeep. (6)
PU glues have tested well.

Thermal modification is a simple but effective process. Being in a city centre location, it was also important that the cladding did not become patchy or blacken, a common problem with more reactive species such as cedar when left untreated. Brimstone wood was born out of the need to find ways to reverse the decline in the use of British-grown hardwoods and the associated decline in woodland management. The three-storey hillside house – named ‘Endeavour’ – has featured on TV’s Grand Designs and in national newspapers, and is notable for the clever use of Brimstone poplar vertical cladding that accentuates the building’s bold lines. Water based glues do not work well. One being that, no matter what the temperature or level of humidity, the wood barely shrinks or expands. With a single point calibration and three-point calibration, to ensure accuracy.
We are now building another house immediately adjacent and as planning conditions stipulate materials that should match the four properties, we are once again using Brimstone."

Brimstone also represents a real opportunity to improve the management of our mixed woodlands by creating a demand for lesser-used white hardwoods.Thomas Barnes, Managing Director of Vastern Timber, said: “After launching the Brimstone brand at Ecobuild in 2016, we are excited to be returning to the revamped Futurebuild show in 2019.

Updated daily. Since launch we’ve delivered Brimstone ash, poplar and sycamore into fantastic projects including stunning homes and impressive commercial projects.In 2019 we published an Environmental Product Declaration including a full lifecycle analysis, and in 2020 we’re planning the development of an onsite production unit for Brimstone that will be powered by solar panels. It was our first time working with this product, but we found it easy enough, especially with technical assistance from Vastern Timber. We chose not to use a secret fixing system that doesn’t show screws as we don’t think they are strong enough for hard wood decking. Not really knowing what to expect we produced some ash planks and sent them over to be modified. Exposure to intense temperatures also means the wood becomes hardier, and able to last outside for many decades, without being treated and without any danger of it rotting.
