Siberian Larch Cladding – SLJ (T&G) Profile
Siberian Larch T&G cladding profile is stable and dense, while being incredibly easy to install without visible nails thanks to the tongue and groove joint. The bevel, where two boards meet, creates a small gap along the joint, making it the perfect timber cladding choice for a contemporary look, whether installing horizontally or vertically on residential or commercial buildings. The timber is resistant to rot when in contact with the ground, and is suitable for use as posts and in fencing.
Siberian Larch Tongue & Groove Cladding is often a very popular choice for its appearance. It is regarded as having a very desired finish and provides beautiful colouring and texture. The shapes and patterns of the growth rings are very aesthetically pleasing and provide real character to each cladding panel. Siberian larch will often start life as pale yellow/golden brown in colour but weathers to striking silvery grey colours, although treatment and staining can change this.
Due to this durability, it is a wood that isn’t as vulnerable to knocks, scrapes and scratches as other woods. This is an important aspect for Siberian larch exterior cladding. Siberian larch can be sawn and machined well, making it a practical and efficient choice of timber for building projects. Siberian Larch Tongue & Groove Cladding Profile not only has a pleasing appearance but is also durable, stable and dense and will therefore provide excellent long term performance even in the harshest of environments.
