Native British Larch Cladding: Tongue & Groove & Shadow Gap Profiles
Looking for high-quality, sustainable timber cladding? Native British larch cladding is a premium choice for builders, architects, and homeowners who want durability, character, and low environmental impact. Available in both Tongue & Groove and Shadow Gap profiles, British larch offers a stunning natural finish that ages gracefully.
Why Choose Native British Larch?
Grown in responsibly managed UK forests, British-grown larch timber is known for its high resin content, durability, and eye-catching grain. Compared to imported species like Siberian or European larch, native British larch offers:
- Natural durability (Class 3–4)
- Unique character with rich golden hues and visible knots
- Lower carbon footprint due to local sourcing
- Excellent resistance to decay, moisture, and insects
Whether you're cladding a new build, extension, or outbuilding, British larch provides lasting performance with minimal maintenance.
Popular Larch Cladding Profiles
At our timber yard, we offer British larch cladding in two of the most popular profiles: Tongue & Groove and Shadow Gap. Each profile is kiln-dried and machined for a precision fit.
Tongue & Groove Cladding
Ideal for both vertical and horizontal installation, tongue and groove cladding features interlocking joints for a flush, seamless finish. It’s perfect for those seeking a modern or traditional look with clean lines.
- Strong, tight-fitting joints
- Excellent weather protection
- Suitable for residential and commercial facades
Shadow Gap Cladding
For a contemporary aesthetic, shadow gap profile cladding creates a defined space between boards, adding depth and visual rhythm to your exterior. It’s especially popular in modern architectural designs.
- Linear, minimalist appearance
- Highlight timber grain and texture
- Easy to install and allows for timber movement
Natural Weathering or Finishing?
British larch cladding can be left to weather naturally, developing a soft silvery-grey patina over time. For those who want to retain its original golden colour, we recommend applying a UV-resistant oil or stain.
Common Applications
British larch is a versatile cladding material, suitable for a wide range of external applications:
- New build homes and extensions
- Garden rooms, sheds, and cabins
- Barns and agricultural buildings
- Timber frame and passive houses
Sustainable Sourcing & Local Benefits
By choosing UK-grown larch cladding, you're supporting British forestry, reducing environmental impact, and investing in a product that's designed to last. Our timber is sourced from certified British woodlands and milled to order for each project.
