Description
These 4m European Larch Wood Cladding 144mm x 19mm Shiplap Boards offer a strong, weather-resistant and visually striking solution for exterior timber projects. Manufactured from slow-grown Northern European Larch, this naturally durable softwood delivers excellent resistance to decay, making it ideal for outdoor use without chemical treatment.
The 144mm x 19mm shiplap profile creates a secure overlapping joint that provides enhanced weather protection while producing a refined shadow line that adds depth and character to façades, garden buildings and feature walls. With 135mm face coverage, these boards deliver efficient installation and a clean, professional finish.
Supplied untreated, European Larch naturally evolves from warm golden-brown tones to an elegant silver-grey patina over time. To maintain the original colour and improve resistance to UV exposure, moisture, cracking and timber movement, we recommend applying a high-quality OSMO stain.
These boards are precision-machined and planed smooth for easy handling and installation, making them suitable for both traditional and contemporary designs.

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.
