Kiln dried Sawfalling I-IV grade Siberian Larch tongue & groove channel cladding. This product is planed smooth on the exposed face and is machined with stress relief grooves on the reverse to increase stability. Our Siberian Larch cladding is quality controlled by the Federation of European Planing Mills (VEH) to a consistent grading standard.
With 'Tongue & Groove V - Joint' cladding the line between the adjoining pieces has a 'v-shaped' profile that creates a subtle shadow line.
Tongue & Groove profiles are easy to install. The tongue projects from the edge of the board and fits into a groove on the edge of the adjacent board. Once installed the adjoining boards lock together to maintain the clean straight lines of the 'v-joint' profile.
