iWood is excited to introduce a painted black feather edge cladding to our product lineup, a cost-conscious alternative to our charred black cladding.
The timber is treated with an anti-fungal base coat and then has three layers of black paint applied. The boards are 175mm wide with a 153mm face and are tapered from 22mm down to 6mm.

Our painted black cladding is supplied in 4.8 metre lengths. We'll automatically set your amount to the next highest multiple of 4.8m.
How to measure for cladding
To get a price, you can type in how many square metres of cladding you need. It's very easy to work out.
We're going to work out the total area of one side of a building, then subtract the windows and doors, then add 10% extra for wastage.
1) For each wall that you’re cladding, measure the full width and the height in metres to work out the total area.
In this (expertly designed) example, the frontage is 9 metres wide and 4.7 metres high. 9 x 4.7 gives a total 42.3 square metres.
Total area of frontage = 9 * 4.7 = 42.3 square metres
2) Work out the area of the doors and windows
In this house front there are four windows and a door. Measure the width and height of each window and door, then add the areas together:
- Window 1: 1.9 x 1.2m = 2.28 square metres
- Window 2: 1.2 x 1.2m = 1.44 square metres
- Window 3: 1.2 x 1.2m = 1.44 square metres
- Window 4: 1.9 x 1.2m = 2.28 square metres
- Door: 1.0m x 2.0m = 2.00 square metres
Total area of windows and doors = 9.44 square metres
3) Subtract the area of the doors and windows from the total area of the wall.
We now have our total area (42.3 square metres) and the total area of the doors and the windows (9.44 square metres). Because we don't want cladding to cover the windows and door, we take the door and window area away from the total area.
Total area to clad = 42.3 – 9.44 = 32.86 square metres to clad
4) Add at least 10% spare for wastage
We recommend ordering at LEAST 10% more cladding than you've measured for to account for the required cutting and shaping.
32.86 square metres + 10% = 36.146 square metres. In this case, we'd round it up to 37 square metres.
Total to order = 37 square metres
Do the same for any other sides of the building, add them together and you'll have your grand total.

Why are the 'per m2' and 'per m' prices approximate?
Your total price is accurately calculated from a cubic metre rate based on the actual total volume of timber in your cladding, rather than from a stored square metre or running metre rate.
In order to show the price per square metre and the price per metre, we divide the total cost by the number of square metres and linear metres respectively. Due to rounding, this may mean that the square metre or linear metre price may be out by a few pence if you manually multiply it be the number of square or linear metres. The total price shown is accurate and we show the square metre and linear metre prices for comparison.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call.

Some popular alternatives
Premium Painted Black Feather Edge Cladding
This is a is a Kiln Dried European Whitewood cladding, first treated with an anti-fungal base coat, then painted all round with three layers of jet black durable paint.
Our painted black cladding is a feather edge, or wedge shaped profile, with a rebate at the thick end, along with three relief grooves to minimise any seasonal movement of the timber.
The boards are 175mm wide, designed to be overlapped horizontally to leave approximately 153mm of each board's face showing (not suitable for vertical fitting).
Black cladding is experiencing a surge in popularity again as shows such as Grand Designs incorporate it into many modern builds.
Also take a look at our hand-charred, burnt black cladding if you'd like a profile other than this feather edge, such as tongue and groove or shiplap.
Fitting Guidance
Our Painted Black Feather Edge Cladding is designed to be installed by a professional with previous experience in successfully fitting it. The information here is provided as an overview only and is not a substitute for professional fitting advice.
Breathable Membrane
Consult a fitter to determine if your scenario would require the fitting of a breathable membrane between your wall and the cladding. This membrane stops rain getting to the wall, but allows moisture to escape, helping to prevent internal condensation and mould that can come with it.
Treated Softwood Battens
Treated softwood battens (available from our cladding accessories pages) are most commonly used to fix to the wall (or on top of the breathable membrane) to then fix your cladding to. Feather Edge Cladding is for horizontal fixing only, so your battens need to be placed vertically, at around every 600mm (60cm).
Fixing the Cladding
** Whether you use nails or screws, it's important that they are stainless steel, or silicone bronze ARS, so that the natural tanins in the timber will not corrode them. Never use iron nails for fixing timber.
There are two common ways to fix feather edge cladding. The first is to nail it, in which case it's best to use only one nail across the width of the board, so it won't split as it expands or contracts with the seasons.
If you use nails, preferably use ring-shanked for extra grip, and again stainless steel so they don't corrode. Consider using nails with larger heads so the cladding doesn't pull through.
Secondly, you can pre-drill holes wider than the body of the screws you are using, and hold the boards with the head of the screw. This will allow movement without splitting the boards.
Either way, start at the bottom and use an extra batten to space the bottom of the bottom board away from the building. Work your way up the building. Make sure you have the thinnest part of the board at the top.
Layout of the cladding
With each new row of cladding you add, it's preferred that you stagger the joins between each board so you don't create a visible seam.
As already stated, these are just ideas to get you thinking about installation and you should consult a professional installer before fitting your cladding as every scenario is different.
Our painted black cladding is pre-treated before the paint is applied and so does not need treating before fitting.
As with anything left exposed to sunlight, the finish will eventually start to fade. This can be prevented with an OSMO 420 UV Protection Oil.
The boards are supplied in lengths of 4.8m. When you cut the cladding, you will expose a fresh, bright end on the wood. We recommend a Coo-Var Matt black exterior paint to re-blacken and seal the ends: Coo-Var Matt Black Paint .
