Balau Wall Cladding – Recently Completed

Balau Wall Cladding – Recently Completed
We recently completed this exterior wooden wall cladding project using 19 x 140 mm Balau timber boards, creating a clean, modern finish with the natural warmth and character of real wood.
Balau is a dense and durable hardwood that works particularly well for exterior applications. Its rich natural colour, strength and weather resistance make it a popular choice for wooden wall cladding, decking and other outdoor timber features.
Exterior Wooden Wall Cladding
Wooden wall cladding can completely change the appearance of a home, entrance, boundary wall or outdoor entertainment area. It adds texture and warmth while helping to create a more contemporary architectural finish.
For this project, the Balau boards were installed to create a strong horizontal feature that complements the surrounding exterior surfaces. Depending on the design, timber cladding can be used across an entire wall or as a feature section to highlight a specific area of the property.
Why Choose Balau Cladding?
Balau is well suited to Cape Town’s outdoor conditions and offers a number of benefits for exterior wall cladding:
- Durable hardwood suitable for outdoor use
- Attractive natural grain and colour
- Strong and stable timber
- Suitable for modern and traditional properties
- Can be treated or oiled to maintain its appearance
- Naturally weathers over time if left untreated
Like all exterior timber, Balau will change colour with exposure to sun and weather. Regular maintenance and the correct timber treatment can help preserve its richer natural tones, while untreated Balau can gradually develop a more weathered appearance.
