What makes this rustic wood cladding so special?
This extra rustic wood wall cladding stands out with its highly vivid surface featuring visible signs of use and natural aging. Each element carries marks of time – from discolorations to distinctive structures – creating an unmistakable appearance.
The cladding is available either with straight edges or with a connection system and can be easily installed both indoors and in protected outdoor areas. Thanks to thermal treatment according to ISPM 15, it is pest-free and ready for immediate use.
By default, we supply this wood cladding in natural mixed widths from 6 to 20 cm – creating a varied and vibrant look. For a more uniform design, fixed widths in several dimensions (e.g. 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17 cm) are available – ideal for structured laying patterns with precise butt joints.

It is ideal for feature walls, ceiling cladding, shopfitting or as façade cladding with striking character. The combination of expressiveness and natural feel makes it a durable and stylish solution for both modern and traditional projects.
This vintage wood cladding pairs perfectly with materials such as concrete, glass or metal and blends harmoniously into various architectural styles. Thanks to custom-made production, we deliver each wood wall cladding exactly to your specifications. This simplifies installation and ensures a precise end result – natural and low-maintenance.
Which wood cladding for outdoor use?
The best wood cladding for outdoor use is a thermally treated cladding with a natural surface and high durability. Our extra rustic variant is heat-treated, ISPM 15 certified and therefore pest-free and highly durable. It is ideal as exterior wall cladding or façade cladding, e.g. for chalets, garden houses or commercial buildings. The striking structure creates an authentic look that blends seamlessly into any environment – whether traditional or modern. Over time, it convinces with natural aging and minimal maintenance requirements.
How do you install wood cladding on a wall?
Installing wood wall cladding begins with a stable substructure made of wooden battens. This is always mounted perpendicular to the intended laying direction – for vertical cladding horizontally, for horizontal cladding vertically. Especially in moisture-prone areas, such as with wood cladding in bathrooms, sufficient rear ventilation is crucial. A vertical battening is recommended here to ensure air circulation between wall and cladding.
Once the substructure is in place, the wooden cladding is attached element by element. Depending on the design and desired appearance, there are different fastening methods:
- Wire nails – simple and discreet
- Angled nailing or screwing – without visible fastening heads
- Board clips (for tongue-and-groove system) – concealed fixing, gentle on the material
This creates a uniform surface without visible fasteners. A detailed installation guide for our wood cladding for interior and exterior use can be found here in our installation manual.
Rustic wood cladding – sustainable and unique
Our extra rustic wood wall cladding represents a responsible material choice with history. Instead of using fresh wood, we select timbers from existing stocks – such as former agricultural buildings or historic structures. This vintage wood cladding fascinates with the traces of time and is now valued as a distinctive design element.
Each cladding is unique: shaped by weather, use and an individual patina. Anyone who chooses to buy such wood cladding consciously opts for sustainability, character and durability. Whether as a rustic design element for interiors, ceilings or façades – this rustic wood wall cladding adds substance, warmth and authenticity to any construction project.
Drying Reclaimed Wood Cladding in the Drying Chamber
Our extra rustic wall cladding is carefully brought to a wood moisture content of 12–14% in our in-house drying chambers. This guarantees stable form and meets the ISPM 15 standard for pest-free quality. This way, the vintage wood cladding is not only a visual highlight but also technically ready for immediate use – ideal for interior finishing or protected outdoor areas.
Please note: Genuine reclaimed wood is alive. Small cracks or shape changes are natural characteristics of the material and signs of its authenticity – not quality defects. Thanks to gentle drying, the distinctive surface is preserved while the cladding becomes durable and resistant. For those seeking rustic wood cladding that combines aesthetics with construction quality, our extra rustic variant is a conscious choice for style, substance, and longevity.
What Kind of Care Does Wood Cladding Require?
Our rustic wall cladding is easy to maintain and designed for long-term use. Its textured, natural surface requires no special treatment – it naturally retains its rustic character. For those seeking a durable and hassle-free solution, this vintage wood cladding is the perfect choice.
For cleaning, a slightly damp cloth is sufficient to remove dust or light dirt. Thanks to its robust surface, hand-hewn wood is also suitable as exterior cladding, without the need for additional treatment. This way, the natural patina of the extra wild hand-hewn surface is permanently preserved.
Important Product Note:
Those who buy extra rustic wall cladding are choosing a living natural material with character. Like any untreated wood, this vintage cladding reacts to environmental conditions such as air humidity – with natural shrinkage or expansion. These changes are typical of genuine wood and do not represent a defect. Dimensions, color tones, and surface textures may vary slightly. Cracks, discolorations, nail holes, or other traces of previous use are intentional features that make each wall cladding unique. During processing, the structure may cause occasional wood splinters – therefore careful handling during installation is recommended.
