Bring timeless sophistication and long-term performance to your project with Accoya 145mm x 18mm Shadow Gap Cladding.
Crafted from premium, acetylated Accoya timber, this cladding delivers the ultimate combination of beauty, stability, and sustainability. Designed for architects, builders, and homeowners who demand excellence, it offers a crisp, contemporary aesthetic with the reliability of Class 1 durability.
Engineered through an advanced acetylation process, Accoya timber undergoes a molecular transformation that enhances its resistance to rot, decay, and insectswithout the need for toxic chemical preservatives. The result is a dimensionally stable, eco-friendly material that performs exceptionally in any environment, from coastal faades to modern interiors.
The Shadow Gap profile creates bold, linear lines and subtle depth, making it ideal for sleek, architectural exteriors or refined interior feature walls. With its light blonde tone that naturally weathers to a beautiful silver-grey, this cladding complements both minimalist and natural design schemes.
