Scottish larch board on board cladding on wall

Board on Board Cladding

Back to all cladding types

Board on board cladding is a traditional sawn timber cladding, with boards provided in a fine sawn finish. For a more contemporary look, it can also be provided with a smooth planed finish.

Board on board is a vertical cladding style, using staggered overlapping boards to cover the joints. Installation is quick and straightforward, resulting in a protective, durable finish with a neat, rustic appearance.

Sawn claddings are a classic choice in Scotland. For a similar aesthetic, batten on board cladding is also available.

Our board on board cladding is made from Scottish larch, and is available in a range of standard and bespoke sizes. 

Technical specifications

  • Thickness: 22mm
  • Width: 150mm
  • Lengths: 2.4m, 3.6m or 4.8m
  • Orientation: vertical only
  • Coverage: average 125mm per board (based on 25mm overlap)
  • Price: see cladding prices here.

Bespoke sizing available

For batten on board and board on board cladding, we frequently cut orders to bespoke sizing. Bespoke widths and thicknesses are typically very easy for us to manage for both boards and battens.

The price for custom sizing will vary from the standard pricing shown based on the change in total volume. Other than this, we typically don’t charge a premium for bespoke sizes in sawn cladding.

About Scottish Larch

Larch is a naturally durable timber, meaning it requires no special treatments or coatings before being used outdoors – making it a perfect choice for cladding, decking, and other exterior projects. Larch cladding, for example, offers a lifespan of twenty to thirty years when properly applied, and requires minimal maintenance for its upkeep.

While larch may carry a higher upfront cost than other non-durable or treated softwoods, its long lifespan and minimal upkeep can make the additional upfront cost feel incredibly worthwhile in the long run.

Find more information about larch timber’s natural durability, and other factors that make it such a well-valued and versatile timber in our About Larch page.

Freshly cut larch starts out as a warm, pinkish-orange hue. Exposure to the elements will gradually cause the colour of larch to weather to a silver-grey. 

Below are some examples of the weathering and durability of untreated larch cladding on walls that are South-facing and exposed to the elements, meaning they receive high levels of weathering. None of these walls have needed any further maintenance.

Find more information and examples of weathering in our Larch Colouration and Weathering page.

  • Orange colour larch cladding
    Less than 1 year old larch cladding
  • Larch cladding that is somewhat weathered with patchy silver areas
    2 year old larch cladding
  • Weathered cladding with deep silver colour
    19 year old larch cladding
