Siberian Larch Shiplap Cladding

Our Siberian Larch Shiplap Cladding is the perfect profile choice should you require not only excellent weather protection, but clean smooth lines and a smarter finish for your cladding project. Commonly fitted horizontally, once in place the visually pleasing shadow lines will accentuate the length of your building, giving you a sleek uniformed appearance.

Naturally Siberian Larch will offer your cladding project stability, durability and a beautiful grain; there are few better choices than this very slow grown, incredibly dense softwood. Due to its high resin content, Siberian Larch is one of the most naturally hardy of all softwood species and highly durable without any treatment - you'll almost be getting the abilities of oak at softwood prices!

Your boards will be supplied untreated. No treatments are required, however if you wish to preserve the supplied colour a little 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 Siberian Larch is kiln dried to an 18% moisture content, making it ideal for use in both internal and external applications. If exposed to varying weather conditions before fitting your boards, 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 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 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.

We offer the following section size with an 10mm recess:

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

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 - £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.

Please ensure when ordering that you make an allowance for wastage. We recommend adding an additional 10% over and above your initial requirements.

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!*

Please be aware that sizes are subject to change in response to changes in moisture levels. Cladding will be kiln-dried to approximately an 18% moisture content prior to machining, but may vary between production and installation on site. Cladding will be dispatched at given sizes, but a margin of error should be used when producing cladding layout drawings for expansion and contraction in the timber.
