Build Story: Using Earthen Plus Exterior Cladding for a Durable and Stunning New Build

When building our new cabin, we wanted an exterior cladding that could handle the region’s challenging environment while adding warmth and character to the design. After careful consideration, we chose Earthen Plus Cladding, and it has proven to be the perfect match for our vision from both a form and function perspective.

Here is the exact product that we used: https://www.healthbasedbuilding.com/earthen/earthen-plus-cladding/earthen-radiata-ht51-tmt-plus-shiplap-cladding-bru?gn=Earthen%20Plus%20Cladding&gp=1


Why Earthen Plus Cladding Was the Best Choice

This cladding appealed to us for several reasons:

Aesthetic Appeal: The unique grain and texture of the timber give the cabin a natural yet refined look that blends effortlessly with the alpine surroundings.
Strength and Durability: The thermal modification process enhances the timber’s durability to EN335 Class 1, making it highly stable and ideal for harsh weather conditions.
Sustainability: It mattered deeply to us that the cladding came from sustainable New Zealand sources, aligning with our values of eco-conscious living.
High Performance: Precision profiling and surface exfoliation during manufacturing ensure the timber not only performs exceptionally but also minimises ongoing maintenance.

The Outcome
The finished exterior perfectly captures the essence of what we envisioned for our alpine retreat: strength, sustainability, and timeless beauty. For anyone building in exposed or challenging environments, I highly recommend Earthen Plus Cladding for its outstanding performance and character.
