Milled from the finest Canadian Western Red Cedar, this cladding is prized for its natural durability, warm tones, and low maintenance requirements. Each board is planed to a consistent 18mm thickness and is available in a range of widths to suit different aesthetic and coverage needs.

Whether you’re building a modern garden room or recladding a classic home, Shiplap cladding offers visual clarity and performance in one package.

Shiplap Western Red Cedar Cladding is an excellent choice for both residential and commercial projects where weather protection and visual appeal are key priorities.

Whether you’re creating a feature wall, cladding a garden room, or finishing an entire façade, shiplap provides a professional, elegant look with minimal effort. Its consistent board spacing and seamless interlocking design make installation faster and more forgiving especially for DIY users.

Pair it with clear UV oil for rich colour preservation or let it gracefully weather into a silver-grey tone over time. Our Canadian Western Red Cedar shiplap boards are kiln-dried, precision-cut, and sustainably sourced ensuring both performance and peace of mind for years to come.

What Is Shiplap Cladding?

Shiplap is a horizontal timber cladding profile with a rebated overlap that allows boards to nest neatly together. Unlike tongue and groove, Shiplap overlaps instead of interlocks, which creates a more pronounced shadow line and a defined linear aesthetic.

Its design helps shed water effectively, making it a practical choice for both exterior and interior applications. It’s easy to install, forgiving on slightly uneven surfaces, and offers a clean look that works well in both traditional and modern environments.
