Painted Black Tongue and Groove Cladding
After supplying charred cladding for a number for years, iWood has worked on offering a more reliable alternative in the area of painted black cladding. To join our painted black product line, we are now supplying tongue and groove shadow gap cladding with a luxury black finish.
The finish, rather than being machine smooth, is textured and painted. This mimics the finish of charred black cladding more closely.
For the timber we use durable European whitewood, kiln dried for stability and treated with an antifungal base coat.
Painted Black Shadow Gap Cladding profiles
IWC30 – 18mm x 145mm overall, with a 135mm face and a 10mm shadow gap and relief grooves on reverse – for horizontal and vertical fitting.
A shadow gap profile when fit together leaves a gap between board faces which produces a striped aesthetic. This also allows secret fixing as the board overlaps slightly allowing you to conceal the nail.
This profile also features relief grooves on the reverse which aids stability in situ.
How long does painted black cladding last?
Our painted black shadow gap cladding with the inclusion of relief grooves, kiln drying, additional base coat treatment and several topcoats of paint is expected to last 15 years plus.
Why use painted black cladding over charred cladding?
Charred timber is a very old technique of reinforcing timber and creating a natural surface treatment. Whilst this can produce some rather unique results particularly in deeper chars, it does however come with the potential downside of “runoff”, which is effectively where the layer of char that looks so aesthetic initially, is slowly weathered off leaving black runoff beneath your building.
This is the main reason our customers opt to use the painted black cladding instead, there is no runoff and oil treatment reinforces the timber for longer durability. In addition, the painted black treatment can be touched up overtime which extends its service life until the timber itself starts to fail.
What is the best color for cladding?
When it comes to timber, most claddings when left untreated will go an aesthetic silver colour which can appeal to both modern and traditional aesthetics alike. That said, pre-painted timbers like our Painted Black Shadow Gap Cladding are very popular and black cladding adds a bold and standout element to your structure. If you contrast against the black with exotic flowers and greenery the design stands out even further.
Is cladding better than painting?
This question is what brings a lot of people to cladding their structures in timber. You're already making changes to the external wall, going a step further and upgrading it using timber cladding is only a bit more investment for quite a lot of benefits such as – thermal insulation, weather protection, longevity and aesthetic appeal. Plus, if you were thinking of coloring it black, pre-painted black shadow gap cladding is practically made for you.

Stanbrook & Nicholson Ltd have been buying European Oak from iWood since their inception. In our trade it is often difficult to get both service and product quality from our suppliers. iWood have consistently provided us with an absolute first rate product with service to match. A high proportion of our timber purchased comes as cut to size putting our wastage at nearly zero per cent. This also speeds our process of manufacture.

The website was simple to use, easy to understand, and getting an exact price was just ridiculously easy. You couldn't improve the service so far in any way
