Why Choose 16x100 Tanalised Treated Shiplap?
Selecting the right timber cladding can be overwhelming given the variety available in the market. However, Timber-DIY simplifies the task by providing high-quality solutions that meet your needs.
Superior Durability and Protection
The 16x100 Tanalised Treated Shiplap benefits from an advanced tanalisation process, which enhances its longevity. Tanalisation is the impregnation of wood with a preservative under high-pressure to protect against fungal and insect attack. This treatment makes timber a great choice for outdoor structures, as it can withstand the unpredictable British weather.
Aesthetic Appeal
There’s something timeless about the look of timber that never goes out of style. The 16x100 Tanalised Treated Shiplap features a smooth, clean finish with its tongue and groove design, ensuring each board perfectly interlocks with the next. This not only provides a seamless appearance but also reinforces the structural integrity of the cladding.

Installing Your Timber Cladding
Preparation
Before starting your cladding project, it’s essential to properly prepare your surfaces. Ensure that the underlying structure on which you are applying the cladding is flat, clean, and dry. This will facilitate better adhesion and improve the longevity of your cladding.
Installation Tips
The tongue and groove design of our 16x100 Tanalised Treated Shiplap ensures straightforward installation. Start at the bottom edge of your structure and work upwards, ensuring each groove properly fits into its corresponding tongue. This secure fitting not only enhances the overall appearance but also ensures effective moisture runoff, protecting your structure even further.
Finishing Touches
Once your cladding is installed, consider adding a protective coating or wood stain to enhance the wood’s natural beauty and add an extra layer of protection. Taking this step can increase the lifespan of your cladding, providing you with years of satisfaction.
