English larch has striking colour variations from pinks, browns to creams depending on the section of the tree from which it is cut. There are many dark brown knots which sometimes loosen as the wood dries. If left untreated larch cladding will fade to a silvery grey over a period of time as nature does its work.
English larch is very strong and a very hard-wearing wood. Due to it's super high resin content English Larch can prove to be twice as durable as common pine. 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.
English larch is highly suitable for cladding buildings in a traditional style and offers a cost effective alternative to our oak claddings.
Please note that these product properties are not a replacement for the manufacturer's literature and it is always recommended that Railway Sleepers, UK is consulted before specifying.
