Our Air Dried Oak Half Lap External Cladding is half lap cladding in European oak, for external use.

About European oak

Air dried (seasoned) European oak, more stable and less prone to shrinkage than fresh sawn oak.

The boards are air dried outside for approximately 6 months, to between 16% and 25% moisture content.

Characterful boards that may show a small amount of sap on the underside, sound knots without limitation and occasional historic insect damage.

Supplied untreated.

Left alone it weathers to silver grey.

Profile and fitting

Half lap boards overlap at a rebate along each edge, giving a neat shadow line between boards. Fitted horizontally only.

Grades and options

  • First Grade: mostly clear of knots, with some knots up to 5 mm allowed and a small amount of sap on the underside only.
  • Character Grade: sound knots without limitation, sap and occasional historic insect damage.

Finishing and aftercare

Supplied untreated. No treatment is needed, but to hold the colour for longer or add a weather-resistant finish, see our cladding treatments.

Good to know

  • Use stainless steel fixings only. This is essential for oak: its tannin reacts with ordinary steel fixings and causes dark staining.
  • Natural timber varies: expect some differences in colour and grain from board to board and from the photos.
  • Boards left exposed to changing weather before fitting are likely to cup, warp and split. We suggest fitting between October and April where possible, within 7 to 14 days of delivery.
  • Sizes are nominal and can vary slightly with moisture content.
  • Not sure? Order up to two cladding samples first.
