Elegant White Pine cladding boards, pale grain

· Natural pine, full length ·

The longest boards in the range

Solid pine in EmotionWood's natural finish, drawn out to a full six metres. One board can run a wall or a ceiling without a join, so there is less to interrupt the grain across a long line. Choose the cool, pale White Pine or the deeper amber of Brown Pine.

Where Yakisugi is fire, Elegant is grain.

More than just wood

Born from Estonian forests.

EmotionWood has crafted eco-friendly wood design panels and timber cladding in Estonia since 2014, where nature and design meet in balance. Every board is made by hand by skilled artisans, guided by Nordic values of quality and responsibility.

Which is why these boards aren't only a surface to look at. They're solid timber that earns its place on the wall: acoustically, environmentally and for years.

Made in Estonia. Defined by quality. EmotionWood · Tallinn

Softer, warmer rooms

Natural wood improves acoustics, thermal comfort and indoor climate, so spaces feel calmer, not just look richer.

Solid, not veneer

Solid timber right through, not a veneer over board, so it can be cut, sanded and lived with.

An original design

A distinctive EmotionWood pattern, handcrafted and made to your order in Estonia: originality you can specify with confidence.

Documented & declared

Eco-friendly production, with technical and installation data sheets: the paperwork trade and architect specs ask for.

Why it lasts

Solid pine, run long.

Elegant is solid pine in EmotionWood's natural finish, drawn out to a full 6 m board and priced the same in either tone.

Elegant Brown Pine cladding boards, warm amber grain

Six metres

Six metres, no join

Every board runs the full 6 m, so long walls, ceilings and facade runs can be clad in single lengths with far fewer joins.
Fewer joins means a cleaner, uninterrupted line, fewer cut ends to detail, and less setting out on site. These are the longest boards in the EmotionWood range, and that length is what the series is built around.

Elegant White Pine cladding board finish

Two tones

White Pine or Brown Pine

Two tones on the same 120 x 28 mm pine board. White Pine is pale and cool, Brown Pine a deeper amber, and both are priced the same, so the choice is only the tone you want in the room.
Grain, knots and colour shift from board to board, as they do in any solid timber. Dry lay and mix the boards across a run so the variation spreads evenly.

Natural

Natural, not charred

Yakisugi is the charred board, listed separately. Elegant is its natural counterpart, so the grain and its tone carry the wall rather than a layer of char.
It is weather-resistant and suits indoor walls and ceilings, outdoor environments and saunas. How the surface is treated from here, and how it ages, is your call.

The finishes

One board, many characters.

One board, one profile; the character comes from the timber. Every finish is solid wood, milled and finished in Estonia.

Brown Pine

A warmer, deeper amber. The grain carries more contrast against the darker ground, giving the face depth along the full length of the board. Same profile, same price, so it comes down to the tone you want.

White Pine

Pale and cool, with a light, open face that holds daylight rather than absorbing it. The grain and markings stay visible across the full length of the board, so the wall reads as texture rather than pattern.

Installation

Fixed to battens, built to breathe.

Solid timber boards are fixed to battens over a ventilated cavity, the way cladding has always been hung. Set a level datum, allow for movement, and seal the trimmed ends before they go up.

Face-fixed boards over counter-battens, stainless screws through the board face into the timber behind.

Face-fixed to battens.

The direct method for facades, feature walls and ceilings. Boards are screwed through the face into the battens behind, leaving a clean, honest line of fixings.

  1. Batten out the wallFix timber battens over your membrane to create a ventilated cavity behind the boards. Run them counter to the board direction so air can move freely.
  2. Set a level datumStrike a level line for the first board and check it with a spirit level. Leave a gap at the base for airflow and drainage, and keep boards clear of the ground.
  3. Seal the cut endsEvery trimmed end exposes fresh end grain. Seal the cuts before fixing so the protection carries through the board rather than stopping at the face.
  4. Fix through the faceScrew through each board into the battens with stainless fixings, keeping a consistent line. Pre-drill near board ends to avoid splitting.
  5. Leave expansion gapsAllow a small gap at board ends and around openings so the timber can move with the seasons. Stagger end joints for a balanced, natural pattern.

Before you start

  • Acclimatise the timber. Let the boards rest in the space where they will be fixed for a few days so the solid timber settles to the local humidity.
  • Build a ventilated cavity. Batten out over a membrane so air can move behind the boards. The cavity keeps moisture off the timber and is the key to a long, stable install.
  • Seal the cut ends. Cutting exposes fresh end grain, which is where boards take up moisture fastest. Seal every cut end so the protection runs right through.

Care & repair

  • Let it settle. Solid timber moves a little with the seasons, and boards left outdoors will silver over time. Keep the cavity clear so the wall can breathe.
  • Brush, do not scrub. Clear dust or cobwebs with a soft brush or a gentle rinse. Avoid harsh scrubbing or pressure washing, which can damage the surface.
  • Touch up as needed. If a board is cut or knocked back to bare timber later, treat the exposed area so the finish and its protection stay consistent.

Common questions

Questions about Elegant

The practical detail on ordering, coverage and living with natural pine cladding.

Talk to a specialist
Where can Elegant be used?

Indoors on walls and ceilings, outdoors on facades and exterior detailing, and inside saunas. The boards are weather-resistant, so the same profile can run from an interior wall out onto a facade if you want one material across a project.

How is Elegant sold and priced?

By the lineal metre, at about $26 per metre. Boards are supplied as full 6 m lengths, so one board is 6 lineal metres and costs about $156. Orders are made up of whole boards, then cut to fit on site. White Pine and Brown Pine are the same price.

How many metres do I need?

The boards are 120 mm wide, so a square metre of cladding takes about 8.3 lineal metres, close to one and a half boards. Work out the area of the run, multiply by 8.3, then add an allowance for cuts and round up to whole boards. The calculator on this page will do it for you.

What is the difference between White Pine and Brown Pine?

Tone. White Pine is pale and cool; Brown Pine is warmer, a deeper amber. They are the same solid pine board at the same 120 x 28 mm profile and the same price, so the choice is only the tone you want. Both are supplied in EmotionWood's natural finish. If you need the exact detail of how each tone is produced, ask a specialist and we will confirm it with EmotionWood.

How are the boards fixed?

Face-fixed to timber battens over a ventilated cavity, the standard approach for solid-timber cladding, and they run vertically or horizontally. Let the boards acclimatise on site first, as solid pine moves with moisture and a 6 m board moves along its length. The installation section on this page walks through the method and the layout.

Does the timber need a coating or maintenance?

Elegant is supplied in its natural finish rather than charred, so the surface treatment is your call. The pine is weather-resistant and suits indoors, outdoors and saunas. We do not publish a coating schedule for it, so if you want the boards coated, ask a specialist about a product suited to your application before you order.

Will the boards vary in grain and colour?

Yes. Pine is a natural material, so grain, knots and tone shift from board to board. That variation is part of the character rather than a fault. If you want to see the finish in your own light first, ask a specialist about a sample.

What is the lead time, and how do 6 m boards arrive?

Boards are made to order in Tallinn rather than held in stock, so allow for production and freight to Australia. A 6 m board also needs vehicle access and room to unload and handle on site, so confirm the delivery point when you order. If a length other than the standard 6 m is essential, raise it with a specialist before the order is placed.

Are there fire or bushfire requirements I should check?

We do not publish a fire rating, a BAL rating or a combustibility classification for these boards. If the project sits in a bushfire prone area, or the external cladding has NCC requirements, confirm what your site needs with your builder or certifier before you specify Elegant.

How does Elegant compare to Yakisugi?

Same board, different surface. Yakisugi is charred, which gives it a dark, textured face. Elegant is left in its natural finish, so the grain and tone carry the wall. Yakisugi is a separate listing if you want to compare the two.
