British Larch Cladding – TLAT Shadow Gap Tongue & Groove
Secure world-class architectural timber directly from our highly advanced Somerset milling facility. British Larch is globally recognised as the ultimate premium cladding material, boasting exceptional dimensional stability, very few knots, and a stunningly rich, uniform colour palette. When strictly machined into the TLAT profile, it delivers the ultimate combination of contemporary recessed aesthetics and severe weather structural integrity. This homegrown British timber is absolutely perfect for high-end luxury developments demanding rigorous durability and absolute aesthetic perfection.
Mechanical Profile Advantages
The highly specialized TLAT profile is explicitly designed to solve complex commercial installation challenges requiring both extreme modern aesthetics and maximum structural rigidity. While traditional halflap profiles merely overlap, the TLAT profile actively utilises a deeply machined interlocking tongue. This creates an incredibly tight mechanical bond that drastically reduces board movement while still projecting the highly desirable recessed shadow gap.
Because our master machinists utilise strictly heavy duty carbide tooling, the sharp right angled profile lines sit perfectly flush. This precise dimensional accuracy actively ensures a completely seamless installation across expansive commercial elevations, actively protecting the underlying structural cavity from severe weather ingress.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Advice
Why specify the TLAT profile in British Larch?
Choosing British Larch immediately provides a world-class, premium grade timber boasting exceptional dimensional stability and a stunningly uniform rich colour. When machined specifically into the highly architectural TLAT profile, you actively combine this premium aesthetic with rigorous weather deflection and structural integrity.
Why choose British Larch over British Cedar?
While British Cedar is highly celebrated for its rustic, knotty character, British Larch is typically supplied in a strict clear grade, meaning it is virtually knot-free. It also offers a much richer, uniform colour palette and slightly higher natural dimensional stability.
Expert Application Advice: If you demand the absolute pristine, clean facade favoured by ultra-modern luxury developments, British Larch is unequivocally the gold standard choice.
