Any idea what percentage of rated output a woodburner will average?

With a large overhang it should be fine. Sun and heat won't do it any great deal of harm if it's correctly screwed into place (allowing for expansion). Same applies to moisture.

 

 

 

What other options are there in Scotland for exterior wall coverings? Stone is not even remotely economical in this day and age. Brick is almost never used. Harling looks hideous within a couple of years due to staining and mould due to the aforementioned damp. I do think that wood is the best option and most abundantly available. And I don't just say that because I produce huge amounts of cladding annually!

 

 

Breezeblock, wet dash and a good few coats of white masonry paint, lets me sleep at night. No worries about twisting, shrinking, cracking larch[emoji42]
