Russwood were excellent to deal with, particularly from a technical point of view. They went out of their way to demonstrate all options for the cladding and coating system and their remote assistance throughout the design process was exceptional

The expertise received from Russwood was excellent from the design inception stage through to construction. The team members we dealt with had a comprehensive working knowledge of the cladding products as well as finishes. Communication was always very good, and helped us deliver the project effectively

Russwood are amongst the leaders in the UK in their knowledge of the use of timber cladding and other products. They give the architect confidence that a beautiful and low carbon material can be specified for building projects. They are passionate about timber and how it is used and they want to help achieve the best design results and this is unusual for a product supplier in the building industry
David Jamieson Zone Architects

Russwood were very professional, with an outstanding expertise in their products. Communication was great, with all issues answered immediately. The elegance of the cladding is a representation of what we wanted to achieve for the rest of the building. You could almost say that the cladding determined how and what we did with the rest of the building’s details. The design seamlessly ties together old and new… keeping a vernacular style of architecture that will improve and enhance the site for many years to come

Russwood are always a great company to deal with, from sourcing sample material, to technical literature and assistance with NBS specifications. The assurances of a quality product, that we know has great durability, leaves us confident in the longevity of the material and finish itself.

With Russwood there’s a sense of a smaller, compact, friendly and efficient operation. I never felt as though I was being lost in “the system”. They became a partner for me to work with – someone who cares about the project. Russwood products invariably do what Russwood say they will do, cost what they say they will cost and arrive when they say they will arrive.

Russwood sawn larch cladding provided the exact appearance and feel that we wanted for the project. The teams efficiency and eagerness to get the job right is always apparent and they are a delight to deal with
Chris Terry AR Design Studio

The form of the existing building created a facade with many different conditions from fully sheltered to fully exposed south facing facade. Longevity and maintenance were a key concern for the client so if the wrong product was specified or if the detailing was not carefully considered it would weather unevenly and not age well. Throughout the project Russwood provided expert and detailed advice and were always easy to work with. The result is a beautiful and finely detailed facade that will last.
