Our Douglas Fir Internal Rain Screen Cladding is rain screen cladding in Douglas fir, for internal use.

About Douglas fir

Colour varies from pinks and browns to creams depending on where in the tree the board is cut. Dark brown knots can loosen as the wood dries, and resin patches may ooze a little at first and in later hot summers.

Kiln dried to 8–12% moisture content, for internal use.

Profile and fitting

Rain screen (also called splayed) cladding gives bold shadow lines between boards.

Our suggested gap between boards: 5 mm.

Visible face approximately 120 mm on the 142 mm board.

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: knots, splits, sap, historic insect damage and other defects without limitation, as long as they don't affect usability.
  • End matching (tongue and groove on the board ends) lets you place joints where they fall rather than on a batten, which speeds up fitting and reduces wastage.

End matching available

End matching is a paid option you can choose from the dropdown. The board ends are machined to interlock end to end as well as along the edges, so joints can fall between battens instead of having to land on one. That makes fitting faster, cuts waste because offcuts can be used, and gives a neater finish with no visible butt gaps.
