Experience the authentic craftsmanship of our Air-Dried Oak Tongue and Groove Cladding. The air-drying process enhances the timber's natural stability and durability, ensuring a long-lasting finish. This cladding is the perfect choice for a traditional T&G look that showcases the stunning grain of the oak.

 

For superior stability and minimal shrinkage, choose air-dried oak. This timber is seasoned for 3-5 years to reduce its moisture content to 20-30%, resulting in a far more stable product than fresh-sawn cladding.

 

The boards used for this cladding are characterful and may have a small amount of sap to the underside, sound knots without limitation and occasional historic insect damage. If a higher grade with a more contemporary, straight grained, knot free appearance is required please take a look at our first grade offerings.

 

Being a natural living product, you may also experience some colour variation and when in place, some natural movement as the timber adjusts to the changing seasons. These characteristics are to be expected and will give a beautiful natural distinctive appearance.

 

These boards are fixed together by inserting the tongue into the groove. The chamfering at the top and the bottom of the boards accentuates the individual boards by creating a subtle 'V' shadow line along the joints. Dependent on your style, they can also be fitted either horizontally or vertically; should you choose to fit them horizontally, it is recommended that the boards are installed with the tongue uppermost, this is to allow any moisture to fall away from the tongue.

 

Ready to fix and available in two options - First and Character Grade:

 

First Grade is sorted to include only the clearest (most knot free) boards with the straightest grain possible. A perfect choice for all modern and contemporary applications.

 

Character Grade will have a mixture of all top four grades, 1 through to 4 - some clear of knots and some straight grain, others with knots and some sloping grain. A perfect choice for all traditional/rustic applications, it gives a less uniformed look, without compromising its excellent durability properties.

 

This machined cladding can be used for both internal and external applications. If exposed to varying temparatures and conditions before fitting your boards, they are likely to cup, warp and split; the ideal time to fit cladding externally to keep this to a minimum is between the months of October and April and within 7 to 14 days of delivery.

 

Your boards will be supplied untreated. No treatments are required, however if you wish to preserve the supplied colour or use a weather resistant sealant, please take a look at our Treatex range. Should you wish to leave it to age gracefully, it will eventually turn to a beautiful silvery grey colour.
