Lightweight Oak Featheredge External Cladding

Our Lightweight Oak Featheredge External Cladding is a cost effective way of achieving oak cladding coverage in place of cheaper softwood options. Freshly sawn and machined into a smaller section size - 125 mm wide and 15 mm reducing to 5 mm at the feather, you'll still have the natural beauty of oak at a more affordable price.

These boards contain varying in size sound knots, sometimes some colour variation, fissures and areas of tight/straight perfectly grained oak. As the oak acclimatises to the changing temperatures, your boards will also expand and contract. All of these natural characteristics of freshly sawn oak are what gives our Lightweight Oak Featheredge Cladding its classically natural rustic charm.

Our boards for the featheredge profile are cut on the diagonal, producing a tapered board that is overlapped when fitted, similar to roof tiles, thus giving that traditional featheredge finish.

Your boards will be supplied untreated. No treatments are required, however if you wish to preserve the supplied colour for that little while longer or use a weather resistant sealant, please take a look at our Treatex range. Should you wish to leave it to age gracefully, it will eventually turn to a silver grey colour as the suns rays do their work.

This cladding is for external use. Please remember to make allowances for at least a 35mm overlap on each board (50mm is best) when making your calculations. If your boards are exposed to varying weather conditions before fitting, they are likely to cup, warp and split; the ideal time to fit cladding to keep this to a minimum is between the months of October and April and within 7 to 14 days of delivery.

We offer the following section sizes:

• 125mm x 15mm reducing to 5mm at the feather
• 150mm x 15mm reducing to 5mm at the feather

Ready to fix and available in two options - First and Character Grade:

• First Grade is sorted to include only the clearest (most knot free) boards with the straightest grain possible. A perfect choice for all modern and contemporary applications.
• Character Grade will have a mixture of all top four grades, 1 through to 4 - some clear of knots and some straight grain, others with knots and some sloping grain. A perfect choice for all traditional/rustic applications, it gives a less uniformed look, without compromising its excellent durability properties.

The advertised price of our Lightweight Oak Featheredge Cladding is priced per square metre and comes in random lengths up to 3000mm.

Still unsure? We offer up to two samples of our cladding boards for a £5 inc VAT postage charge. Should you wish to then purchase cladding boards that are the same product as your samples, we will reimburse you the £5 postage charge upon ordering!*
