These Douglas Fir boards have a shiplap edge profile, which is characterised by a rabbet (or groove) cut into the top and bottom of the board, allowing them to overlap and create a seamless, finished surface. This type of siding is commonly used in residential and commercial construction, and is an ideal choice for creating a rustic, natural look. Douglas Fir is known for its strength and durability, making it a great option for exterior use, as well as for interior walls and ceilings. The wood has a natural, warm appearance that can add character and charm to any space.

Why choose Douglas Fir?

Douglas Fir is a durable and rot-resistant wood species that is native to North America, making it well-suited to the local climate and able to withstand the elements. This means it can have a longer lifespan in exterior cladding applications. Furthermore, Douglas Fir is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and its stability, making it a suitable choice for cladding in areas of heavy wind or snow loads. Additionally, Douglas Fir has a uniform colour and tight grain pattern, giving it a clean and attractive appearance that can complement a variety of architectural styles. It is also an affordable and sustainable option, being readily available and responsibly managed by forestry companies.

Why choose Shiplap?

Shiplap timber cladding is a popular choice for its unique aesthetic and practicality. The shiplap design is characterised by a series of overlapping boards that have a slight “rabbet” or groove cut into the top and bottom of each board, allowing for a tight and secure fit when installed. This design not only creates a clean and modern look, but it also helps to protect against water and wind penetration. Another advantage of shiplap cladding is that it is easy to install and maintain, as individual boards can be easily replaced if necessary. Additionally, shiplap cladding is versatile, as it can be used for both interior and exterior applications, making it suitable for a wide range of projects.
