Timber Cladding/Lining
Internal and External Timber Wall Cladding
Cladding a new facade, lining a feature wall, or matching boards on a renovation? Our timber cladding and lining range covers both sides of the wall, from external weatherboards and shiplap to internal VJ lining boards and panelling. Choose Western Red Cedar, Cypress Pine, Design Pine H3 primed pine, internal pine, hardwood lining, Easycraft and Surround by Laminex, in profiles including shiplap, V-joint, weatherboard, castellation, chamfer, tongue and groove, and cedar shingles.
External Cladding: Cedar, Cypress and Treated Pine
For outside walls, pick the timber for the finish you want and the exposure it faces. Western Red Cedar gives warm, natural red-brown tones in weatherboard, shiplap, castellation and shingle profiles, a common choice for architectural facades. Cypress Pine suits a rustic log cabin weatherboard look. Design Pine H3 comes pre-primed and treated for above-ground exterior use, in rusticated and chamfer weatherboards, VJ shiplap and tongue and groove, ready for a topcoat once it is up.
Internal Lining: VJ, Shiplap and Panelling
Inside, timber lining boards are used for feature walls, ceilings, wainscoting and full-room wraps. Pine lining boards come raw for staining or white primed for painting, in #302 Vee Joint and #321 Regency profiles. Easycraft and Surround by Laminex add ready-to-install panel profiles such as VJ, batten, scallop and heritage styles for a coastal, Hamptons or contemporary look. Hardwood lining is there where you want a natural hardwood face on the wall. Finish the job with matching skirting boards and mouldings.
