Timber Cladding
On some traditional houses, after construction of timber framed wall with mudbrick infill, timber cladding was applied on upper floors. Cladding elements were approximately in 2x25 cross-section and they protect the walls from climatic effects such as rain, sunshine, wind etc. Sometimes timber cladding was preferred because of visual concerns.
