Cladding

What is shiplap cladding?

Shiplap cladding consists of wooden panels that overlap and create a flat surface that is much more weather resistant than the overlap construction method.

What is cladding used for

Timber Cladding is suitable for both internal and external use on both domestic and commercial properties and there is a wide range of reasons you might opt for cladding:

Cladding benefits:

• Appearance. Timber is a popular choice because of its naturally attractive appearance from the warm colouring to the distinctive character of its grain.
• Weather Resistance. Designed to reinforce a building from the elements, the wood will stop rainwater and winds from penetrating.
• Thermal Insulation. It will also help to keep a building warmer which will reduce your overall energy consumption.
• Acoustic Insulation. Timber acts as a natural barrier because it absorbs sounds; helping to reduce the levels of noise passing through the cladding.
• Environmentally Friendly. All our timber cladding is manufactured from timber which is sourced sustainably. Plus, when it needs replacing, timber can be recycled. Timber also has a low carbon footprint, requiring less energy than any other material to produce.

Types of Cladding:

We offer a range of high-quality timber cladding board options available in a variety of timber species:

• Cedar
• Redwood
• Larch
• Pine
• Ash

PTGV:

This traditional style of timber cladding features a tongue and groove profile with a v-joint and has a planed finish. It is popular because of the way each board interlocks creating a system that is reliable and resilient.

Shiplap Cladding:

This is like tongue and groove, in that the boards click together to create a reliable connection that won’t move; however, shiplap differs in that it has a slight slant to the profile that allows rainwater to run off it easily.
