Original Tudor building
Mock Tudor Cladding.
Between the late 1400’s and mid 1600’s oak framing was a staple in the construction of houses and buildings. All oak frames were pegged and designed with strength in mind, but designs were starting to become lavish and pleasant on the eye.
The design of Tudor Buildings is still in fashion throughout the UK, however the way they are constructed has moved on. Now we can make a modern structure look like a Tudor design with “Mock Tudor Cladding”.
This Mock Tudor design above a garage is sliced sections of oak, installed to look like oak framing.
This stunning vertical cladding gives a contemporary look
We saw air dried oak beams to various widths, and thick enough that the oak is stable on installation. We us air dried oak so that it has done the majority of its movement already. I think you’ll agree that the finish is quite lovely.
Its not just Tudor cladding that can be achieved. Oak can be used to clad anything from the front of a building, internal walls, or even boxes and vanity units.
This storage box is entirely clad in oaks sections.
Below you will see the oak cladding before it is installed. These sections sawn from oak beams retain the lovely character of oak and whether we sand it, brush, or just leave it to weather naturally it really does look great.
