Kiln Dried Shadow Gap Cladding

Our carefully machined Kiln Dried Douglas Fir Internal Shadow Gap Cladding is the perfect choice should you require a clean linear appearance, impeccable weather protection and a cost effective alternative to our oak claddings. Unlike a shiplap profile, with its distinctive shadow lines once fitted, the Shadow Gap profile offers a more smoother finish with its slimmer shadow gap, making it ideal for use on contemporary builds or extensions to an older property.

Douglas Fir have striking colour variations from pinks, browns to creams depending on which part of the tree it is cut. There are some dark brown knots which can loosen as the wood dries, this occasionally results in resin patches that may ooze a little at first and sometimes during subsequent hot summers. Due to its super high resin content, Douglas Fir can prove to be twice as durable as common pine, making it an incredibly strong and hardwearing species. 

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.

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 - £15 ex VAT per sqm
• Set lengths above 3500mm - £18 ex VAT per sqm

Please contact our Sales Team on 01536 267107 to pay for the set lengths.
