British Douglas Fir Rainshield Cladding

We offer a standard British Douglas Fir Rainscreen Cladding which is profile IWC8. IWC8 can only be fitted horizontally and is fitted with around a 12mm gap (click on 'more information' next to the profile above for a diagram).

Home grown Douglas Fir is one of the most versatile British softwoods you can buy as it is useful for external purposes like cladding, and when purchased as beams can also be used for constructional purposes. Our British Douglas Fir cladding is graded as 'Fresh Sawn Merchantable', which is quite knotty when compared to its imported counterpart.

British Douglas Fir naturally varies in colour and can be anything from a pale red to a light orange. The variation of the timber is what makes it so appealing for use because it provides you with a unique product.

We are selling more and more British Douglas Fir as customers look towards British Timbers over foreign alternatives. We are proud to support British Forests which are well managed and help to gear the supply of timber towards making it a reliable resource.

Usually, we supply British Douglas Fir rainscreen cladding in random lengths of 3m and longer. If you have any requirements for exact lengths then please give us a call on 01889 279 018 or talk to us on the online chat so that we can discuss and confirm the availability of your requirements. If we can supply the lengths you need please enter them into the “Special Instructions” box on the shopping basket page.

Treatments

Most people leave their timber to go the traditional silver-grey in the sun. We recommend talking to www.wood-finishes-direct.com if you would like to treat your timber. If you do decide to treat your timber, it needs to be treated all the way round including the ends to prevent moisture getting in at all.

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.

How to measure For Cladding Step 1

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:

How to measure For Cladding Step 2

  • 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.
