150mm x 22mm Homegrown Cedar Shiplap Cladding

150mm x 22mm Homegrown Cedar Shiplap Cladding, Profile Reference PFC008

Shiplap cladding can be fitted vertically, but it is usually fitted horizontally.  Shiplap is a traditional profile which creates a weather-tight exterior. An overlap is created when the cladding boards fit together, to provide weather proofing to an exterior façade. Shiplap cladding has a small channel running along side the timber which allows water to run off the building very quickly.

British ‘homegrown’ cedar is a cost effective alternative to Canadian western red cedar. The timber is grown sustainably in the UK, and therefore offers a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to imported species.

Appearance: Faster growing than Canadian western red cedar, homegrown cedar features frequent small-to-medium sized knots which can appear feathered around the edges. It is a soft amber colour and if left untreated, the cedar will lighten to a subtle, silver-grey.

Performance: Homegrown cedar from Premier Claddings is air dried naturally to achieve a high quality, smooth finish when machining. It is stable with low shrinkage.

Longevity: Expected service life is 15-20 years (out of ground contact).

This cladding is part of the Premier Claddings range which is produced from top quality timber and beautifully machined in the UK by Premier Forest Products’ in-house workshops. As a natural material, timber is durable and sustainable, with every tree featuring different patterns, grains and knots. This means that your cladding will have a unique character, with an individual look.
