Frequently Asked Questions

Is Shiplap Cladding a cost-effective natural cladding material

Shiplap cladding, made from pressure-treated softwood, is a cost-effective option. Its special treatment process enhances durability and resistance to moisture and decay, making it a durable and economical choice for cladding sheds, summerhouses, garages, and house walls.

How is timber cladding attached to a building or structure?

For timber cladding, such as shiplap, tongue and groove, and waney edge boards, nails or screws are commonly used to attach the boards to the underlying framework or battens. The nails or screws are driven through the cladding boards into the wooden framework, providing a secure attachment.

Shiplap Cladding has interlocking profiles that fit together to create a seamless and secure attachment. This method helps to prevent water penetration and provides an aesthetically pleasing finish.

How do I properly care for and maintain Shiplap Cladding?

Softwood cladding products, such as Shiplap, require regular maintenance to ensure their durability. Inspect the cladding for signs of decay or damage. Clean the surface and reapply an appropriate wood preservative or stain every few years to protect the timber from moisture and extend its lifespan.
