Character Grade Oak Featheredge Cladding

Our Character Grade (Fresh Sawn) Oak Featheredge Cladding is ideal for where you require an elegantly rustic finish to your cladding project as well as long lasting protection from the elements.

Freshly sawn on site, these boards contain varying in size sound knots, sometimes some colour variation, fissures and areas of tight/straight perfectly grained oak. As the oak acclimatises to the changing temperatures, your boards will also expand and contract. All of these natural characteristics of freshly sawn oak are what gives our Character Grade Oak Cladding its classically natural rustic charm, making it one of our most popular cladding choices.

Your boards will be supplied untreated. No treatments are required, however if you wish to preserve the supplied colour for that little while longer 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.

Our boards for the featheredge profile are cut on the diagonal, producing a tapered board that is overlapped when fitted, similar to roof tiles, thus giving that traditional featheredge finish.

We offer the following section sizes:

• 150mm x 24mm reducing to 6mm at the feather
• 175mm x 24mm reducing to 6mm at the feather
• 200mm x 24mm reducing to 6mm at the feather
• 150mm x 28mm reducing to 8mm at the feather
• 175mm x 28mm reducing to 8mm at the feather
• 200mm x 28mm reducing to 8mm at the feather

This cladding is for external use only. Please remember to make allowances for at least a 35mm overlap on each board (50mm is best) when making your calculations. If your boards are exposed to varying weather conditions before fitting, they are likely to cup, warp and split; the ideal time to fit cladding to keep this to a minimum is between the months of October and April and within 7 to 14 days of delivery.

Ready to fix and available in Character Grade:

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.

Our Character Grade Oak Featheredge Cladding 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 - £4.00 extra per square metre exc VAT
• Set lengths above 3500mm - £8.00 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 267 107 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!*
