Tiga Wood Cladding takes a timber with a strong grain pattern, usually British Larch, and sees the surface lightly-charred by hand to vividly bring out the grain detail.
The cladding is made to order and so the level of charring can be varied if required.
Tiga Wood Cladding is lightly hand-charred, wire brushed and then sealed with Danish Oil.

IWC8 Rainshield 142mm (138 face) x 19mm
The rainshield profile is a slanted rectangle shape (nearly a parallelogram, technically an obtuse trapezoid with chamfers!). It's designed to be installed horizontally with a slight gap between the boards, giving an extremely modern, uniformed look. People often cut to exact lengths too to give a purposefully regimented, grid-like pattern.

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.

Tiga Wood Cladding
Tiga Wood cladding is a new product which is quickly becoming one of our favourites. The cladding is lightly seared by hand with a blow torch, vividly highlighting the grain pattern, then steel-brushed to remove any loose charring and finally coated with a Danish oil to protect the surface.
We can supply Tiga Wood cladding in multiple profiles including:
- Tongue and Groove
- Shiplap
- Rainshield
- Feather Edge
When fitting your Tiga Wood cladding we recommend you start by fitting a breathable membrane to your wall. This will help to protect against moisture build up behind your cladding. Next, fit battens that you will then fit your cladding to. This will leave a gap between your cladding and the building so air can circulate behind it which will help to stop your timber from degrading.
When fitting machined cladding like Tongue and Groove, Shiplap and Rainshield leave a 3mm gap between the boards. If fitting tongue and groove cladding make sure that the groove is facing downwards so that moisture doesn’t gather in it.
For feather edge, start at the bottom and then work your way upwards overlapping the cladding as you go. We work out how many boards you need off a 25mm overlap so if you want more overlap you will need more timber.
See our "Fitting Guidance" section above for more tips.
Take a look at the photos below for some examples of how this cladding looks when fitted.
Fitting Guidance
Our Tiga Wood Cladding is designed to be installed by a professional with previous experience in successfully fitting cladding who understands how timber can expand and contract. 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. If you choose our Rainshield profile, ie. IWC8, you will most probably need a membrane as a gap is purposely left around the cladding.
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. If you are fixing your cladding horizontally, your battens need to be placed vertically, at around every 600mm (60cm), and vice versa.
Fixing
The method of fixing depends on the profile you choose. You can fix with nails or screws, but whichever method you choose, make sure you use stainless steel or another type which will not be corroded by the natural acids in the timber. Never use iron fixings with timber.
If using screws, we recommend pre-drilling the timber and holding the cladding on with the head of the screw. If nailing (again, don't use iron), use a nail with quite a large head so the cladding doesn't pull through.
If you opt for a Feather Edge profile, ie. IWC9 or IWC10, start at the bottom of the building and use some extra batten to hold the bottom of the bottom board out from the building. Feather Edge cladding is for horizontal fixing only.
If you choose a tongue and groove profile, make sure the tongue is at the top, otherwise moisture will sit in the groove. We sometimes alter the profiles that are available in Tiga Wood finish. Profiles IWC1 to IWC4 can be fit horizontally or vertically, IWC5 can only be fit vertically so water doesn't sit in the channel.
Rainshield cladding should only be fitted horizontally with a gap of around 3mm.
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.
Tiga Wood Cladding Treatment
As standard, your Tiga Wood cladding comes pre-treated with a Danish oil.
If left without annual re-treatment with Danish oil, weathering will very slowly take the wood back to its natural appearance. To maintain the seared finish, re-application of Danish oil is recommended every year.

Have used before. Great products and service.

Just a quick line to say thanks for the swift delivery of the ash I ordered a couple of weeks ago. It is now installed as stair treads/ landing and looks superb. Just one small gripe, the delivery driver didn't call me to say he was on his way which meant I had to rush over; he did help me carry it into the house though.
I think the picture does them justice.
