West African Sapele Timber Cladding
Transform your wall space with the finest durable hardwood timber cladding. West African Sapele is renowned for being fantastically durable in very wet environments and is often used for external windows, doors, gates, conservatories and exterior timber cladding. Its natural oils and dense course grain make it resiliant to exreme wet conditions but it is also suitable for painting. The appeal with the Sapele timber cladding is that it is clear of knots but has a wonderfully natural character with variable grain patterns and rich mahogany colour. When exposed to long spells of UV it will silver down naturally to create a stylish grey look. We have a variety of decorative profiles for exterior timber cladding designed to allow for water run off. These profiles, from tongue & groove timber cladding to shiplap timber cladding, are cleverly designed to not only lock together for durability but are weatherproof . Perfectly engineered for the aesthetic and installation, these Sapele timber cladding boards are the perfect way to cover large elevations in a natural solid timber effect.

Appearance
The appeal with the Sapele timber cladding is that it is clear of knots but has a wonderfully natural character with variable grain patterns and rich mahogany colour. When exposed to long spells of UV it will silver down naturally to create a stylish grey look.
Durability
Sapele is a hardwood that's resistant to rot, insects, and water damage. It's also fire resistant and can withstand indentation, bending, and shock. Its resistance to termite attack is variable.
West African Sapele is one of the most versatile timbers currently available in the UK due to its accessible workability and natural durability. Its clear, knot-free, reddish-brown surface is easy to paint and maintain, and the timber itself can be used for anything from pergolas to window frames to skirting. Sapele has been recognised as a more sustainable alternative to mahogany with its similar colour and strength. Sapele is a great all rounder and can suit almost any project.
