Why Choose British Larch Shiplap Cladding?
British Larch is one of the UKs most durable and attractive softwoods, offering long-term protection against weather and decay. Its dense grain and natural resins make it tough yet easy to work with, while its warm colour tones age beautifully to a sophisticated silver-grey patina.
The shiplap profile offers both style and practicality, forming a tight, overlapping joint that enhances rainwater runoff and provides excellent insulation and visual uniformity.
Compared with imported species, home-grown Larch features a more open grain and rustic texture, prized for its natural beauty and lower environmental footprint.
