WoodPartners EN FAQ

Question 1

How do I know which type of wood is suitable for my outdoor project (deck, cladding)?

Accepted Answer

Outdoor wood must be durable and moisture-resistant. This is known as the use class, and class 4 is ideal for direct contact with the ground or water. On WoodPartners, use our filters by use case to discover naturally resistant or treated species, then contact an expert to confirm compatibility with your environment.

Question 2

Can I get a quote through WoodPartners?

Accepted Answer

WoodPartners makes it easy to get in touch. When viewing a manufacturer's or distributor's page, you will find a "Request a quote" or "Contact" button. Your request is sent directly to the local professional, who can prepare a personalised estimate based on your measurements.

Question 3

How do I find a qualified craftsman to install my flooring or deck?

Accepted Answer

In our professional directory, filter by "Craftsmen/Installers". You can browse their past projects to assess their style and expertise before contacting them for technical advice or an installation quote.

Question 4

Why choose wood for my renovation or construction work?

Accepted Answer

Wood is a bio-based, durable material with excellent insulating properties. Beyond its warm, attractive appearance, building or renovating with wood often reduces your home's carbon footprint and naturally improves your thermal comfort.

Question 5

Can WoodPartners help me choose between different wood species?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our product pages detail the characteristics of each species, such as colour, density and required maintenance. If you are unsure, use our general contact form or ask your question on distributor profiles: they are best placed to advise you based on your budget and your maintenance expectations.

Question 6

What maintenance does an outdoor wood installation require?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance depends on the chosen species. Some woods weather to grey naturally over time without losing their strength, while others require occasional applications of oils or saturating finishes to keep their lustre. Find maintenance products in our dedicated category and ask our professional partners for advice.

Question 7

Does wood cladding require a lot of maintenance over time?

Accepted Answer

The maintenance of your wood cladding depends on the chosen species and the applied finish. Some woods, such as larch or Douglas fir, can weather to grey naturally without losing their sturdiness. If you want to keep the original shade, regular treatment with saturating finishes or stains is recommended. Discover the protection solutions suited to each species on our partners' product pages.

Question 8

How do I choose the profile and installation of my wood cladding for a modern house?

Accepted Answer

The choice of profile, such as clapboard, open-jointed or wide boards, plays a major role in the appearance and performance of your wood cladding. For a contemporary style, the open-jointed profile is very popular for its interplay of shadows. To ensure a professional installation, with proper air gaps and ventilation, we recommend consulting the experts listed on WoodPartners.

Question 9
