Treated Loglap Cladding – Tanalised Redwood Timber | 21mm x 88mm
Description
Treated Loglap Cladding
Our treated loglap cladding is manufactured from redwood softwood timber and pressure treated for use on suitable external structures. The distinctive curved face gives the boards a traditional timber appearance, while the tongue and groove profile allows the boards to interlock to create a neat and consistent finish.
Also known as log lap cladding, treated loglap timber is a popular choice for sheds, workshops, summerhouses, garden rooms, cabins, storage buildings and other suitable outdoor structures.
This loglap cladding is supplied in a 21mm x 88mm finished size. The timber is kiln dried before machining and pressure treated to help protect against fungal decay and insect attack.
What Is Loglap Cladding?
Loglap cladding is a profiled timber cladding product with a curved outer face designed to create a traditional log-style appearance. The boards are machined with an interlocking profile so adjoining boards can fit together neatly when installed correctly.
Compared with flat timber cladding, the curved profile gives the finished wall a more rounded appearance. This makes loglap particularly popular for garden buildings and other structures where a traditional timber finish is preferred.
The terms loglap and log lap are both commonly used when referring to this style of profiled timber cladding.

Where Can Loglap Cladding Be Used?
Treated loglap timber cladding can be used on a wide range of suitable external timber structures. Its distinctive appearance makes it a particularly popular choice for garden buildings and outdoor projects.
Garden Rooms
Loglap cladding can provide a traditional timber exterior for suitable garden rooms, offices and other garden buildings.
Sheds & Workshops
A popular option for external shed and workshop walls where a traditional timber appearance is required.
Summerhouses
The curved profile provides a traditional finish that works well on summerhouses and other garden structures.
Garden Cabins
The rounded profile makes loglap a popular choice for cabin-style garden buildings and outdoor rooms.
Storage Buildings
Suitable for a variety of timber storage buildings where an attractive external cladding finish is required.
Outdoor Structures
Can be considered for other suitable external timber structures, subject to appropriate design, framing and installation.
Why Choose Pressure Treated Loglap Cladding?
Pressure treatment introduces preservative into the timber to help protect it against biological threats such as fungal decay and insect attack. This makes treated timber a practical choice for many external applications.
The treatment gives the timber its familiar treated appearance. As with all external timber, correct installation, suitable ventilation, appropriate fixings and ongoing maintenance are important for achieving the best long-term performance.
Where boards are cut during installation, exposed cut ends should be treated with an appropriate end-grain timber preservative in accordance with the treatment manufacturer's recommendations.
How Much Loglap Cladding Do I Need?
The amount of loglap cladding required depends on the total wall area and the effective coverage of the installed boards. When calculating your requirements, allow for doors, windows, corners, joins and cutting waste.
To calculate the area of a rectangular wall, multiply the width by the height. For example, a wall measuring 5 metres wide by 2.4 metres high has an area of 12 square metres.
If your project has several walls, calculate each wall separately and add the areas together. Large doors and windows can then be deducted from the total area. It is sensible to allow additional material for cutting, joins and unavoidable waste.
When working out quantities, use the effective cover width of the loglap profile rather than simply dividing by the nominal board width. The tongue and groove overlap means the actual coverage can be different from the finished board width.
How to Install Loglap Cladding
Loglap cladding should be installed onto a suitable supporting structure using appropriate battens and fixings. The supporting structure should provide adequate strength, ventilation and drainage for the finished cladding system.
Loglap vs Shiplap Cladding
Both loglap and shiplap are popular forms of external timber cladding, but they provide different visual finishes. The best choice depends on the appearance you want and the requirements of your project.
| Loglap Cladding | Shiplap Cladding |
|---|---|
| Distinctive curved profile | Generally flatter profile |
| Traditional log-style appearance | Clean overlapping appearance |
| Popular for cabins and garden buildings | Suitable for a wide range of external structures |
| Interlocking profile | Overlapping board profile |
| Rounded visual appearance | More linear visual appearance |
