British Western Red Cedar Cladding – TLAV Shiplap Tongue & Groove
Secure premium architectural timber directly from our highly advanced Somerset milling facility. The highly traditional TLAV shiplap tongue and groove profile is explicitly engineered to deliver exceptional weather resistance alongside a highly classic aesthetic. The deeply machined scalloped curve actively ensures that severe exterior moisture is channelled directly away from the structural joint. Combined with the immense natural durability and striking character of British Western Red Cedar, it actively provides a highly reliable, entirely flawless architectural facade for prestigious residential and commercial properties.
Mechanical Profile Advantages
The highly specialized TLAV shiplap profile is explicitly designed to solve complex commercial installation challenges requiring extreme exterior weather resistance. The deeply engineered curved scoop directly above the interlocking tongue actively forces severe external moisture to cascade entirely down the external surface, completely protecting the vulnerable underlying cavity from damaging water ingress.
Because our master machinists utilise strictly heavy duty carbide tooling, the classic curved profile lines sit perfectly flush. This precise dimensional accuracy actively creates an incredibly traditional, beautifully continuous architectural shadow effect across expansive commercial elevations without compromising structural rigidity whatsoever.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Advice
Why specify the TLAV shiplap profile in British Cedar?
Choosing British Western Red Cedar immediately provides an incredibly robust, deeply characterful timber boasting exceptional natural durability against severe United Kingdom weather cycles. When machined specifically into the highly traditional TLAV shiplap profile, you actively maximise these inherent weather resistant benefits, creating a classic aesthetic that performs flawlessly across your entire commercial facade.
What is a shiplap tongue and groove profile?
The highly traditional TLAV shiplap profile features a deeply machined scalloped curve above the joint. This highly specific curvature naturally forces severe exterior moisture to continuously cascade downwards, while actively creating a beautiful traditional architectural line completely favoured by heritage developers.
How does this profile prevent water ingress?
By precisely overlapping and incorporating the curved scallop, the shiplap profile completely forces exterior moisture to aggressively run down the external face, actively safeguarding the structural integrity of your underlying commercial batten structure from decay.
Expert Application Advice: Because the TLAV profile actively relies on gravity to shed moisture highly effectively, you must strictly ensure the boards are installed entirely level horizontally using premium stainless steel fixings.
