About Larch
British larch cladding is a widely used timber for exterior applications where durability, availability, and natural character are key considerations. Its warm tones and pronounced grain pattern make it suitable for both traditional and contemporary designs, giving flexibility across a range of residential and commercial projects.
Naturally high in resin, British larch offers inherent resistance to moisture and decay without the need for additional chemical treatment. This makes it a practical, low-maintenance option for façades, garden buildings, and landscaping features where long-term performance is important.
Larch is commonly specified by contractors and designers for its balance of performance and cost-effectiveness. It machines well on site and can be installed using a variety of profiles, including shadow gap for a modern linear appearance or shiplap for a more traditional overlapping finish with strong weather protection.
As part of our wider cladding & landscaping offering, British larch sits within the cladding by timber category alongside other high-performance species.
For alternative finishes and tonal variation, you may also wish to explore Western red cedar cladding and Frake noir cladding, both of which offer different aesthetic and performance characteristics depending on project requirements.
