Shadow Gap Timber Cladding

Shadow gap timber cladding is perfect if you want a clean, modern look with strong, defined lines. The clever profile creates uniform gaps between boards, giving your building a sharp, architectural finish while still providing solid weather protection.

It’s a really popular choice for contemporary homes, garden rooms and feature walls, because it makes timber cladding look crisp, structured and intentional rather than rustic or traditional.

Why choose shadow gap timber cladding?

Shadow gap cladding is all about clean lines and visual depth.

Instead of overlapping boards, each board is installed with a precise, consistent gap that creates strong shadow lines across the wall. This gives you:

• A bold, modern façade
• Strong horizontal or vertical visual lines
• A more architectural, high-end appearance
• Good airflow and moisture management behind the boards

It works beautifully on modern houses, extensions, garden offices, studios, commercial buildings and feature walls.

A wide range of timber options

This shadow gap timber cladding is available in a range of premium timber species so you can choose the right look and performance for your project:

• British cedar shadow gap cladding
• British larch shadow gap cladding
• European larch shadow gap cladding
• Western red cedar shadow gap cladding
• Iroko shadow gap cladding
• Accoya shadow gap cladding
• Redwood shadow gap cladding

This gives you flexibility whether you’re building something subtle and natural or bold and contemporary.

British-made precision where it matters

Many of our shadow gap boards are precision-machined for sharp, consistent profiles, giving you tight tolerances and a reliable finish once installed.

The British larch cladding options use home-grown timber and are produced in the UK, giving you excellent consistency, strong longevity and a product you can trust on higher-end projects.

Easy to install, beautiful to live with

Shadow gap cladding can be installed vertically or horizontally, depending on the style you want.

You can leave the timber untreated so it naturally silvers over time, or treat it with oils and coatings to maintain its original colour and increase lifespan.

Either way, it’s a long-lasting, low-maintenance way to completely change the look of a building.
