British Larch has striking colour variations from pinks, browns to creams depending on which part of the tree it is cut. There are some dark brown knots which can loosen as the wood dries, this occasionally results in resin patches that may ooze a little at first and sometimes during subsequent hot summers. If left untreated larch cladding fades to a silvery grey over a period of time and as nature does it's work.

British Larch is very strong and a very hard-wearing wood. Due to it's super high resin content British Larch can prove to be twice as durable as common pine.

British Larch is highly suitable for cladding buildings in a traditional style and offers a cost effective alternative to our oak claddings. Rebated for the featheredge to fix flat for additional stability and improved weather resistance.

Using rebated feather-edge horizontal boards for cladding, it is possible to reduce the overlap to 25mm but you should have a 2mm gap to allow for possible expansion of the boards.

BS EN 350-2 classified British Larch meaning that this timber is moderately durable and as such can be used externally without treatment if no sapwood is present. Larch sapwood is however generally accepted to be almost as hardy as the heartwood.

Available in the following section sizes:

  • 150mm x 24/6mm
  • 175mm x 24/6mm
  • 200mm x 24/6mm
  • 150mm x 28/8mm
  • 175mm x 28/8mm
  • 200mm x 28/8mm 

Ready to fix and available in two options - First and Character Grade:

First Grade is sorted to include only the clearest (most knot free) boards with the straightest grain possible. A perfect choice for all modern and contemporary applications.

Character Grade will have a mixture of all top four grades, 1 through to 4 - some clear of knots and some straight grain, others with knots and some sloping grain. A perfect choice for all traditional/rustic applications, it gives a less uniformed look, without compromising its excellent durability properties.

We do not machine larch to a profiled finish, the many hard knots prevent it. British Larch is prone to splitting when worked.

The advertised price is per square metre and comes in random lengths between 1200mm and 3600mm unless otherwise specified for an additional charge.

Additional charges for specific lengths:

Set lengths up to 3500mm - £4.00 extra per square metre

Set lengths above 3500mm - £8.00 extra per square metre
