Product Information

Full details

The Snowdon Timber Untreated Shiplap Cladding is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and interior renovators looking to add a textured, decorative finish to internal walls or ceilings. Its primary benefit lies in the tongue and groove design, which simplifies installation and ensures a seamless, professional appearance for both modern and traditional projects; however, as the timber arrives completely untreated, users must budget for and dedicate time to sanding, priming, and painting or staining the wood before final installation to ensure long-term durability and the desired aesthetic.

FAQs

Can this cladding be used in a bathroom?

This product is untreated and intended for general interior use. It is not recommended for high-moisture environments like bathrooms unless sealed thoroughly with high-performance moisture-resistant wood treatments.

How many square meters does one 10-pack cover?

Each board is 0.12m wide by 2.4m long, equaling 0.288 square meters. One 10-pack provides approximately 2.88 square meters of coverage.

Do I need to sand the boards before painting?

Yes, even though the boards are smooth, a light sanding is recommended to remove any surface impurities and to ensure the primer or paint adheres correctly.

Should I paint the boards before or after I put them on the wall?

It is best to paint or seal all sides of the boards before installation to ensure the tongue and groove areas are protected and to avoid gaps in coverage if the wood expands or contracts later.

Can these boards be attached directly to drywall?

While they can be, it is highly recommended to fix them to timber battens secured to the wall to allow for slight movement and to provide a more stable mounting surface.

Troubleshooting

Boards are not sitting flush when slotted together

Check the tongue and groove for debris or wood shavings and ensure no paint or finish has accumulated in the groove during your prep work.

Timber is bowing or warping after installation

Verify that you have provided sufficient fixing points (battens) and that the wood was allowed to properly acclimatize in the room before installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Interlocking design makes installation straightforward for DIYers
  • Untreated surface allows for complete customization of final look
  • Suitable for both wall and ceiling applications
  • Adaptable for either horizontal or vertical orientation

Cons

  • Requires finishing (painting/treating) before or immediately after installation
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas without specialized treatment
  • Requires basic woodworking tools for cutting and fastening

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, allow the boards to acclimatize in the room where they will be fitted for at least 48 hours to minimize natural expansion or contraction. Ensure your wall surface is flat and dry; if the surface is uneven, install timber battens first to provide a level substrate. Use a fine-tooth saw for cross-cutting and either a nail gun or high-strength panel adhesive for mounting. Since the wood is untreated, it is highly recommended to apply your chosen wood stain or primer to all sides of the board, including the tongues and grooves, before installation to prevent warping and to ensure full coverage.
