85/15 Clear Douglas Fir is a trade favorite and is used extensively for timber boarding applications, such as: floor boarding, internal and external cladding, partition boarding and so on.

What are the Options for Douglas Fir Board on Board Cladding?
We can supply Douglas Fir in two profiles, IWC28 and IWC29.
IWC28 – This traditional profile is consists of a board behind and a board in front. The front board overlaps the board beneath by 20mm. When viewed from a distance, this creates a striped aesthetic and a natural shadow gap whilst completely covering the structure beneath, protecting it from the elements. You must face fix the boards that are on top, directly into the battens, ensuring not to go through the overlapped board beneath.
IWC29 – These boards are planed all round and designed to be face fixed with a 5mm gap between the back boards which is then covered by a smaller strip. It’s important to have sufficient waterproofing behind these boards.
Both profiles are vertical fitting only.
What is the Grade of Douglas Fir Supplied?
85/15 Clear & Better Grade is a very high grade mostly free of knots. Douglas Fir is imported in a mix of No.2 grade and No.3 grade, No.2 being exceptional and No.3 being very good. 85/15 refers to the percentage of each grade, 85% will be No.2 graded and 15% will be No.3 graded. It is common for this grade to be ordered in mixed lengths so that you can cut around any knots.
