Our carefully machined Air-Dried Oak Half Lap External Cladding is the perfect choice for a clean, contemporary finish with impeccable weather protection. Unlike shiplap, with its distinctive shadow lines, the Half Lap profile offers a smoother finish with a slimmer shadow gap, making it ideal for contemporary builds or extensions.

This oak is air-dried for 3-5 years to a lower moisture content (20-30%) than fresh-sawn cladding, which makes it more stable and less prone to shrinkage. While some natural movement may occur as the timber adjusts to the seasons, this is to be expected and gives the oak its distinctive beauty.

Grades & Appearance:

  • Character Grade: Features a rustic mix of sound knots, color variation, and natural imperfections.

  • First Grade: Offers a cleaner, more contemporary look with straighter grain and fewer knots.

End-Matched for Faster Installation: End-matching with a tongue and groove profile allows you to join boards between studs, which speeds up installation and reduces waste without sacrificing quality.

Important Notes:

  • Dimensions: Available in 115mm and 142mm widths, with a visible face of 105mm and 132mm respectively.

  • Treatment: Supplied untreated, no treatment is required. It will naturally weather to a beautiful silvery-gray. You can apply a Treatex sealant to preserve its initial color.

  • Pricing: Priced per square metre in random lengths (1200mm to 3600mm). Set lengths are available for an additional charge.

  • Installation: We recommend fitting the cladding between October and April, and within 7-14 days of delivery, to minimize natural movement.
