Our carefully machined British Larch Half Lap External Cladding is the perfect choice for a clean, linear appearance, impeccable weather protection, and a cost-effective alternative to oak cladding. Unlike the distinctive lines of a shiplap profile, this half-lap profile offers a smoother finish with a slimmer shadow gap, making it ideal for contemporary builds and extensions.

British Larch is incredibly strong and hard-wearing, with a high resin content that makes it twice as durable as common pine. This timber also has striking color variations and will have natural characteristics like dark knots and occasional resin patches, adding to its unique charm.

This machined cladding is recommended for external use only. To minimize the risk of cupping, warping, and splitting, we advise fitting your boards between October and April, and within 7 to 14 days of delivery.

The boards are supplied untreated, as no treatment is required. You have the option to either leave the timber to age gracefully to a beautiful silvery-grey or apply a weather-resistant sealant from our Treatex range to preserve its original color.

 

We offer the following section size:

  • 142mm x 20mm - the overall width is 142mm, with the visible face measuring 132mm
  • 142mm x 24mm - The overall width is 142mm, with the visible face measuring 132mm

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.

End-Matching (Tongue and Groove) will allow you to place joints where they fall, instead of on the stud, allowing you to finish the job more quickly without sacrificing on quality and helps minimise wastage.

This profile is priced per square metre and comes in random lengths between 1200mm and 3600mm unless otherwise specified for an additional charge:

  • Set lengths up to 3500mm - £8.00 extra per square metre exc VAT
  • Set lengths above 3500mm - £12.00 extra per square metre exc VAT

This can be done by adding the Set lengths (Cladding) product to your basket (1 quantity = 1 square meter of cladding). You will need the same amount of cladding and set lengths in your basket to get the set lengths that you need so make sure to double check you have added the correct quantity. 

 

Please contact our Sales Team on 01536 267107 should you have any issues.

 

Still unsure? We offer up to two samples of our cladding boards for a £5 inc VAT postage charge. Should you wish to then purchase cladding boards that are the same product as your samples, we will reimburse you the £5 postage charge upon ordering!*
