19 x 125 mm Redwood Rebated Shiplap - Treated
The name ‘shiplap’ refers to the way the timber boards overlap each other. The way each board has a ‘rabbet’ (recess) cut into both the top and bottom of each board allows them to be slotted together with no gaps providing a watertight structure. This means that the chance of any water leakage is very minimal,
External timber cladding is an arrangement of boards covering the exterior of a building. It provides extra protection against the elements and also adds an attractive design feature to the building.
In the UK, timber cladding on occupied buildings should be designed as a rainscreen – meaning it is fitted over a drained and ventilated cavity (ventilation top and bottom). The cavity is created by the battens on which the cladding boards are fixed.
Timber is a natural material, so the cladding design must accommodate natural movement, as well as avoiding moisture traps to facilitate drying following inevitable periods of wet weather.
