Description
Bring timeless sophistication and long-term performance to your project with Accoya 145mm x 18mm Shadow Gap Cladding.
Crafted from premium, acetylated Accoya timber, this cladding delivers the ultimate combination of beauty, stability, and sustainability. Designed for architects, builders, and homeowners who demand excellence, it offers a crisp, contemporary aesthetic with the reliability of Class 1 durability.
Why Choose Accoya Shadow Gap Cladding?
Engineered through an advanced acetylation process, Accoya timber undergoes a molecular transformation that enhances its resistance to rot, decay, and insects—without the need for toxic chemical preservatives. The result is a dimensionally stable, eco-friendly material that performs exceptionally in any environment, from coastal façades to modern interiors.
The Shadow Gap profile creates bold, linear lines and subtle depth, making it ideal for sleek, architectural exteriors or refined interior feature walls. With its light blonde tone that naturally weathers to a beautiful silver-grey, this cladding complements both minimalist and natural design schemes.

Help with my new garage roof!
Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.

Right product, right price, right delivery.
Right product, right price, right delivery. Sure, it was only one length of cast iron guttering but they took the order seriously, packed it well and kept me updated on delivery. And when I opened the very good packaging I found it was exactly what I had wanted. How can you do better!!
