Despite the buzz of trendy ecologists, external timber covering is not new. It used to be called clapboard siding, and while the current trend is not painting it, this was also common in history. Most farm outbuildings were not painted, and many homes as well. Certain types of wood didn't require painting, even without treatment, but admittedly most of the less expensive woods do require treatment. Timber covering walls with pine and other common wood necessitates the use of certain chemical treatments, but compared to the production of vinyl siding it's still very easy on the environment.
Both old and new in origin modern timber cladding only varies from traditional clapboard application in some cases. Some external timber covering involves placing wood vertically or diagonally instead of horizontally like traditional clapboard. Still the majority of timber cladding wall treatments are exactly like historical use of unpainted clapboard.

In addition to external applications timber covering also works on the interior. Historical examples of timber cladding were bead board, and wood paneling. Today acoustical wall panels made of wood are used to prevent echo and vibration in homes, and many people are using more interior wooden wall for interior design as well. The natural color and texture of wood gives a cozy feeling to a home, like nothing else. Reminiscent of log homes where the interior was the same wood as the exterior, interior timber covering proves to be a very comforting wall treatment for most people. So it is well worth a look.
