European Larch Shadow Gap 145mm x 19mm Cladding

European Larch Shadow Gap 145mm x 19mm Cladding

Create a contemporary timber exterior with our European Larch Shadow Gap Cladding, 145mm x 19mm. Machined in-house at our Devon workshop, these smooth-planed boards combine warm timber tones with recessed joints, bringing depth and definition to garden rooms, extensions, garages, porches and outbuildings.

European larch’s distinctive grain, visible knots and natural colour variations give each installation individual character, complementing brick, stone, glazing and other timber finishes.

What Is Shadow Gap Cladding?

Shadow gap cladding has profiled edges that create a recessed line between adjoining boards. This produces a coordinated timber surface with defined joints, offering a contemporary alternative to traditional shiplap or a plain boarded finish.

Each board measures 145mm wide x 19mm thick. Effective face coverage is less than the overall width because of the profiled joint. Use the effective cover width when calculating quantities.

Secret or Face Fixing

This profile allows both secret fixing and face fixing. Secret fixing conceals fixings within the profiled joint for a clean appearance, while face fixing secures boards through the front face.

Use suitable stainless steel fixings and follow the recommended fixing positions and sizes for the profile. Pre-drill where required to help reduce splitting.

Maintaining the Timber’s Colour

To help retain European larch’s warm tones and slow natural greying, we recommend a suitable Osmo UV-Protection Oil, with a tinted finish providing additional colour protection.

Follow Osmo’s preparation guidance for larch, including any recommended weathering period before application. Always test on an offcut first and maintain the coating according to exposure and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Left unfinished outdoors, the timber will gradually weather towards silver-grey.
