Shadow Gap Cladding
Sustainably sourced Shadow Gap Timber Cladding
At The Larch Cladding Company, we supply premium quality shadow gap cladding designed to create a clean, contemporary finish for both residential and commercial projects. Our shadow gap timber is precision machined to form consistent, evenly spaced gaps between each board, producing a distinctive shadow line that adds depth, texture and a modern architectural feel to any exterior or interior surface.
Shadow gap timber cladding is a popular choice for architects and designers looking to achieve a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. The subtle recessed joints create a refined appearance that works particularly well on modern builds, extensions, garden rooms and feature walls. Beyond its visual appeal, shadow gap cladding is also highly practical. The spacing between boards allows for natural airflow and accommodates the expansion and contraction of the timber, helping to improve long-term performance and durability.
We offer a range of high-quality timber options for our shadow gap cladding, including sustainably sourced British larch, Douglas fir and British cedar. Each timber type brings its own unique character, grain and colour variation, allowing you to choose the perfect finish for your project. British larch shadow gap timber is especially popular due to its strength, natural durability and attractive warm tones that weather beautifully over time.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. All of our shadow gap timber cladding is sourced from responsibly managed FSC® (FSC-C134890) certified forests, and can be certified upon request when ordering, ensuring minimal environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality. This makes our shadow gap cladding an excellent choice for eco-conscious developments and projects aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.

Maintaining shadow gap timber cladding is relatively straightforward. Regular cleaning with a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris will help keep it looking its best. Depending on the type of timber used, applying a protective finish or treatment every few years can enhance its durability and appearance. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for specific maintenance procedures to ensure the longevity and beauty of the shadow gap timber.
The main difference between shadow gap cladding and tongue and groove cladding is the visual finish. Shadow gap cladding features small, visible gaps between boards to create a modern shadow line, while tongue and groove boards interlock for a seamless appearance. Shadow gap timber is often chosen for contemporary designs, whereas tongue and groove suits more traditional styles.
