WHY AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE TO USE OAK CLADDING SLATS?
Combine the natural charm and warmth of wood with our oak slats for wall and ceiling cladding both indoors and outdoors and you get a winning partnership with beautiful natural appeal and quick installation, you can also take advantage of the high acoustic properties of oak slat walls or ceilings wherever it’s needed. Oak cladding battens and battens have a beautiful and decorative pattern and appearance, and oak battens are characterised by their resistance to mechanical stress and environmental influences. Oak battens complement the range of oak lumber in smaller dimensions.
The wide use of oak cladding slats, which is characterised by its long service life even when directly exposed to the weather and even without surface treatment. Oak wood is often used for the production of wooden terraces and grates, fences, pergolas, gazebos, staircases in the garden and indoors. Oak slats are used as facade cladding, fences and other facades, as well as for the substructure of support grids and mounting planes of oak structures. The entire structure is thus made of one type of wood that has the same appearance, properties and durability, thus avoiding unsuitable combinations of wood and materials.
We can produce oak slats of the necessary dimensions and sizes to order, exactly according to the specific requirements of each building. At the customer’s request, we can supply planned, sanded, milled edges to the radius.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH OAK
We produce an extensive range of joinery products manufactured through our facilities in our small sawmill, enabling us to machine and finish our range of oak battens to a high standard to meet the requirements set by our customers.
In this section, you will find everything you need to create a cloud of oak slats in your garden, living room or study. Are you building a space for gathering with your guests or a place to relax on a sun lounger by the pool? We are confident that we can offer you solid oak slats to suit your needs to create your dream solid wood environment.
By processing the material for oak slats in a complete manufacturing process, from the tree to the finished product, we are able to have full control over the product. The finished product will be a testament to our proven manufacturing methods that allow us to deliver beautiful yet durable oak slats to our customers.
Our oak cladding slats are available from European oak and European larch coming mainly from Kokořínsko or Křivoklátska , so we are sure that with its quality due to the origin of the wood from this location with a suitable substrate for the growth of these species, quality technological production process and proper storage of finished products we are able to supply you with slats in the design in which you wish to complete your exterior or interior aesthetics.
WHICH OAK CLADDING SLATS CAN WE MAKE FOR YOU DEPENDING ON THE PURPOSE?
Freshly sawn (tarred) oak cladding slats with unspecified moisture content
The disadvantage of using unprocessed lumber may be the high water content and the subsequent volume changes and deformation when drying to equilibrium moisture content. The higher water content can also be problematic in terms of increased risk of attack by wood-boring insects, moulds and fungi, but this is of little concern for oak, which is resistant to these attacks.
When buying raw timber, it is a good idea to choose the right quality for the application. In general, centre sawn timber, ideally radial with no pith content, will be the strongest and most stable.
On the other hand, the incorporation of elements made of uncured wood containing pith can cause undesirable effects in the form of twisting, drying cracks, etc.
This product of basic sawmill processing does not lose its popularity in traditional carpentry constructions, where a relatively wide range of cross-section dimensions is applied – exterior constructions, oak slats in the garden, pergolas, screens.

Technically dried, planed oak cladding slats
The profiles are made of technically dried oak lumber with guaranteed moisture content (exterior usually 15% ±3%, interior 10% ±2%). The central lumber, ideally radial without pith content, will be the strongest and most stable, and care is taken to cut the pith (centre of the log) during the primary cutting of the log. This ensures greater dimensional stability.
Four-sided planing or sanding and bevelled edges are a matter of course with self-dried cladding battens.
For the production of oak joinery planks, logs are used in the order of the first and second pieces from the bottom of the tree with fewer cut branches (knots) and minimal curvature.
