For a beautiful, durable, and affordable finish, choose our British Larch Shadow Gap External Cladding. This carefully machined product provides a clean linear appearance with impeccable weather protection, making it an excellent alternative to oak. Unlike the distinctive lines of shiplap, the Shadow Gap profile offers a smoother finish with a slimmer gap, creating a look that's 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. It has striking color variations and will have natural characteristics like dark knots and occasional resin patches. This cladding is for external use only, and for best results, we recommend fitting it between October and April, and within 7-14 days of delivery, to minimize natural movement.

 

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 as the suns rays do their work. 

 

We offer the following section sizes:

  • 142mm x 20mm - The overall width is 142mm, with the visible face measuring 122mm with 36mm tongue and square edges.

The visible face size is 20mm less to account for the joint and the namesake shadow gap which measures at 16mm. Please note that the sizes are nominal and may vary slightly.

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 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
