ATTENTION INSTALLERS!
WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT?
Hull-based Hawthorn Timber is asking installers if they ‘want something different from the same old
stuff’ in the shape of CanExel Cladding, described as giving a property the ultimate in kerb appeal.
Timber alternatives are in-

opportunities to expand their

cladding is one such product - a

manufactured in Canada and loved

It is produced from wood fibre
resin wax fused under pressure
and is resistant to moisture.
CanExel cladding is finished in the
plant, resulting in durable easy
maintenance products with all the
beauty of wood.
Darren added: “For installers,
the product is fast and easy to fit.
It is resistant to cracking, splitting,
