Shiplap

Our shiplap exterior cladding is machined from a quality redwood and is pressure treated for maximum weather resistance. The cladding profile is chosen to allow water to run off quickly and the lap allows for some board movement which will occur as the timber responds to different weather conditions.

Shiplap cladding is stocked in three sizes: ex 19mm x 125mm; ex 19mm x 150mm and ex 25mm x 150mm. After machining the boards finish at approximately 14mm and 20mm thick respectively, and the board covers are 110mm, 135mm and 135mm. Board length availability is variable; the normal range of pack sizes is 3.6 metres up to 5.1 metres. Where required we are able to get other profiles machined, although the minimum run order is normally 700 metres and lead-time of 4-8 weeks.

Shiplap can be used on a variety of buildings – sheds, garages, offices, summerhouses - and as part or full cladding of houses and larger buildings. All our shiplap is pressure treated and will weather to a silvery-grey finish. Alternatively the shiplap can be painted, or for a lower maintenance finish the colours can be maintained with a choice of stains.
