Shiplap Cladding 180
Using Golden Cypress for your next cladding project creates a world of aesthetically-pleasing opportunities. Think perfect, lustrous and golden lines either vertically or horizontally, encasing your building in a stylish yet durable facade. The natural charm of timber will add character and warmth, while simultaneously providing thermal protection and acoustic absorption. Continuous, clean lines are created with profiled, overlapping cladding boards. And of course in terms of sustainability, Golden Cypress timber is the natural choice – ethically sourced and locally grown!
Benefits of Golden Cypress shiplap cladding
• A truly sustainable alternative compared to other cladding options.
• Naturally durable without added chemicals.
• Exceptionally stable.
• Intrinsically beautiful (like Kauri – lustrous and golden) or allow to weather naturally to a silvery-grey patina.
• Old-growth trees. Slow growing. Tight grain. Fiddleback is common.
• Use vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Design freely!
• Super wide boards, end matched to reduce labour and minimise waste.
• Locally grown and milled – unlike Oregon, Merbau and Cedar, which are imported and very likely entirely unsustainable.

Choose your texture
Choose from Rough Sawn face (shows circular saw marks, sometimes weathering marks and is our most popular raw finish), Band Sawn face (shows saw lines across the face of the board) and Dressed face (highlights all the inherent variations of the timber).
Shou Sugi Ban
Shou Sugi Ban also known as Yaki Sugi and Shogyu Ban is a Japanese technique of charring or scorching timber, usually cladding or siding, to increase durability and reduce maintenance. We’ve found that dressed face suits Shou Sugi Ban scorching processes best.
Choose your finishes
We use Woca products, made in Denmark (http://www.wocadenmark.com/shop/product/exterior-oil). All Woca Exterior Oils preserve timber and add UV protection.
Choose Woca Natural Exterior Oil for preserving sawn timbers, for extra depth and lustre to dressed face timbers and for dark char. Also recommended for light char. This also helps bind the charring from rubbing off and reduces its glossiness.
Choose Woca Grey Exterior Oil for a quick, and consistent, weathered look to all raw timber faces, sawn or dressed.
Choose Woca Black Exterior Oil over Crocodile Skin for a most refined and sophisticated effect. This also helps bind the charring from rubbing off and reduces its glossiness.
