Waney-edge cladding is a very traditional style of cladding created by overlapping boards sliced straight from the tree. Each board has one waney edge (with bark on) and one square edge.

The boards are laid to show the waney edge, with an overlap of 40 – 50mm.

Waney-edge boards are supplied green* (wet) with a sawn finish, cut from logs harvested in well-managed native woodlands.

Boards are supplied in random lengths from 2.0 – 4.0 metres. (Elm is supplied in the shorter specification 1.8 – 3.0 metres.)

Boards may vary in each dimension by +/- 3mm.

*It is important to consider the potential dimensional shrinkage and movement of green timber. Depending on the species, boards may shrink by 10% over the first two to three years as the wood dries. If exposed to hot, dry weather, before or soon after fitting, boards are likely to cup, warp and split. The best time to fit cladding is in the autumn or winter.
