CLADDING
TIMBER CLADDING ADELAIDE
Timber cladding is one of the most popular exterior finishes in Adelaide for homes and buildings, offering a natural, durable and visually striking result. Adelaide Timber Cladding supplies a wide range of timber cladding profiles, species and finishes for builders, architects and homeowners across Adelaide and South Australia.
We supply a large range of cladding boards in a variety of sizes, profiles and finishes, including rough sawn, dressed, green and seasoned timbers. With a wide selection of species and profiles available, timber cladding provides the flexibility for architects and builders to create a finish that aligns perfectly with the overall design vision.
Timber Cladding Profiles
Timber cladding is typically installed using interlocking tongue and groove (T&G) systems, allowing for concealed fixings and a clean, seamless appearance. These systems are designed for efficient installation while maintaining a high-quality architectural finish.
The most common cladding profiles include shiplap and V-joint boards, both of which provide consistent shadow lines and a refined external appearance.
Shiplap Timber Cladding
Shiplap is a popular interlocking tongue and groove profile designed for secret fixing, ensuring that nails and screws are not visible once installed. The profile features a square channel, typically around 5–10mm, creating a subtle shadow line between boards and a clean, modern finish.
V-Joint Timber Cladding
V-joint cladding is another interlocking tongue and groove system commonly interior wall panelling and ceiling linings, but widely utilised in exterior applications. This profile creates a distinct V-shaped groove between boards, adding a decorative shadow line and visual depth to the cladding. It is commonly used for both contemporary and traditional applications.

Why Choose Timber Cladding
Timber cladding is a versatile and durable material suitable for both exterior and interior applications. It offers natural insulation, acoustic benefits and a timeless aesthetic that complements a wide range of architectural styles.
When installed and maintained correctly, timber cladding performs well in Australian conditions and provides long-term durability. It is an ideal choice for residential homes, commercial buildings and feature architectural elements.
Suitable for Adelaide Conditions
Timber cladding performs well in Adelaide’s climate when the appropriate species and installation methods are selected. Many hardwood species offer excellent durability and are suitable for external applications, including exposed environments.
For properties in bushfire-prone areas, it is important to consider your Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating. Some timber species are classified under Australian Standards as bushfire-resistant and can be used in higher BAL-rated areas when installed correctly. Selecting the right timber for your BAL rating helps ensure compliance and improves overall safety.
