Description
Our Spotted Gum Sawn Face Shiplap Timber Cladding is crafted from one of Australia’s premium native hardwoods, known for its exceptional strength, natural durability, and vibrant colour palette. The sawn face finish preserves the timber’s natural rugged texture, providing a unique aesthetic that complements a wide range of architectural styles.
Spotted gum is the common name for four species of trees that grow along Australia’s east coast, from northeast Victoria to the northern tablelands of Queensland, with some occurrences in southern Queensland’s western areas. These species are valued for their straight, slender trunks, smooth bark (which sheds in patches to give a characteristic “spotted” appearance), and attractive timber.
The timber itself is highly sought after for its back-sawn grain structure, vibrant colour palette, and distinctive markings. Its heartwood ranges from light to dark brown, with occasional reddish hues, while the sapwood is pale to light brown. The natural wavy grain often creates a stunning fiddle-back figure, enhancing its visual appeal. Spotted gum is also notable for its slightly greasy texture, which improves machinability and reduces tannin bleed-through, a common concern with other hardwoods.
Our Spotted Gum Sawn Face Shiplap Timber Cladding meets fire resistance standards for bushfire-prone areas without requiring additional fire retardant treatment, making it an ideal choice for Australian conditions.
With its timeless aesthetic, proven durability, and sawn face finish, our Spotted Gum Sawn Face Shiplap is a premium choice for both residential and commercial projects. Whether you’re designing a modern facade, rustic interior, or durable exterior feature, this timber cladding delivers exceptional performance and visual appeal.
