Nestled on the rugged Welsh coastline, Carreg Las required a cladding solution that balanced bold aesthetics with long-term stability. After collaboration with both architect and homeowner, Mokuzai® ThermoWood® PINE was specified - delivering the striking appearance of charred timber but with superior durability and reduced maintenance to that of traditionally charred timber cladding.

Millworks worked with Devlin Architects to deliver a mix of factory finished painted, fire protected and natural weathered Thermowood (Redwood) cladding. Thermowood was chosen due to the stability and ability to take a consistent painted finish, giving a longer service life. Vacuum coating gives the timber a consistent finish on all four sides. FRX Fire Treatment was pressure treated into the timber before painting to achieve a Euroclass B fire certificate. Summary: Grade. Sawfalling (sound tight knots) Width. 19x143mm Profile. MW-2 PEFC certified Fire Treated Factory coated

Built by Inti Construction Ltd using a SIPS construction method, Siberian Larch cladding factory coated with Organowood creating a consistent silver/grey façade. Planed all round, supplied in set lengths with a fine-sawn face. Spaced with 10mm shadow-gaps, sitting on black Tyvek UV wrap to give definition in appearance. The Grade A, kiln dried Siberian Larch finished to a 118mm width has been factory coated with Organowood under controlled conditions to speed up the weathering, creating a consistent, uniformed appearance to all elevations.

The project aspired to enhance the day-to-day living experience by integrating natural light, high-performance materials, and a seamless connection between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.  Sustainability was a key driver, with the house designed to Passive House principles and Western Red Cedar timber cladding was specified for its natural beauty and long-term durability. 

Mary Hare Primary School and Boarding House was designed to be an exemplary teaching, learning and living environment for deaf children. ThermoWood Pine, MillCoat Charcoal Black was used as the main cladding on the boarding house, visually connecting this to the school building whilst also creating its own strong identity. 

The Wigley Group visited our Cambridge showroom with specifications to match the existing courtyard buildings which were refurbished 3 years prior. Western Red Cedar was manufactured to exact profiles and special consideration to detailing so that the refurbishment was cohesive with the current stand used by trainers and owners.

This project consists of three family homes set into two acres of woodland. All three homes are externally clad with Millworks Western Red Cedar, selected for its sustainability credentials, natural durability, and desirable colouring. OrganoWood surface treatment was specified for accelerated weathering and a softening in the colour palette.

Seen in Grand Designs, the ‘Larch House’ is part of a professional development that sits next to the ‘Zinc House’. The complete envelope of this building is wrapped in Siberian Larch. Millworks supplied extra long lengths to set sizes. Therefore, the roof and walls have no joints – leaving the cladding clean and clinical. Millworks supplied the ‘Grade A’ Siberian Larch manufactured to exacting standards. The layout of cladding is planed all round (PAR) with a 10mm shadow gap – for added detail. Summary: Grade A (Unsorted) Width. 20x90mm Length. 6m+ (custom sourced) Profile. PAR
