High-Quality Feather Edge Timber Cladding with Durable Feather Edge Boards

We supply high-quality feather edge timber designed to deliver a durable, attractive and traditional finish for a wide range of exterior applications. Also commonly referred to as feather edge boards, this style of cladding is one of the most popular choices in the UK due to its overlapping profile, excellent weather resistance and timeless appearance.

Feather edge cladding is created using tapered boards that overlap horizontally, allowing rainwater to naturally run off the surface. This overlapping design makes feather edge timber highly effective at protecting buildings from the elements, making it ideal for exposed locations and long-term exterior use. As well as providing strong weather protection, feather edge boards also offer natural insulation benefits, helping to improve the overall performance of your building.

Our feather edge boards are available in a range of timber options, including British larch, Douglas fir and cedar, each offering its own unique characteristics. British larch feather edge timber is particularly popular due to its strength, durability and natural resistance to decay, while cedar provides a lighter tone and excellent dimensional stability. All of our feather edge cladding is carefully selected and machined to ensure consistent quality and a clean, professional finish.

One of the key advantages of feather edge cladding is its versatility. Whether you are cladding a traditional cottage, agricultural building, garden room or a contemporary new build, feather edge timber can be adapted to suit both classic and modern designs. The natural grain and texture of the timber create a warm, organic finish that improves the character of any property.

We offer a variety of sizes, thicknesses and finishes for our feather edge boards, giving you complete flexibility in how your cladding is installed and styled. From wide boards for a bold, rustic look to narrower profiles for a more refined finish, our feather edge timber can be tailored to meet your exact project requirements.

All of our feather edge timber is sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally conscious choice. Combined with expert advice and reliable supply, The Larch Cladding Company is your trusted partner for premium feather edge cladding solutions.

Feather edge and shiplap each have their advantages. Feather edge offers a more traditional and rustic appearance, with good weather resistance due to its overlapping design. Shiplap, on the other hand, provides a more uniform and modern look with interlocking boards that offer superior airtightness.

Feather edge boards can be fixed using either nails or screws. Screws provide a more secure and long-lasting hold, especially in areas exposed to high winds or heavy use.
