Choosing Between Charred Larch, Spruce, Oak and Accoya

For cost-effective cladding: Charred Spruce is a suitable choice for low-impact areas or where budget is the main concern.
For exposed or harsh environments: Charred Larch is excellent, but consider its lower stability if seasonal movement is a concern.
For premium durability and elegance: Charred Oak is ideal, combining strength, resilience, and a timeless appearance.
For ultimate stability and sustainability: Charred Accoya is unmatched for long-term, eco-friendly performance.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your project's specific needs, budget, and desired aesthetic.
