The Snowdon Timber Treated T&G Matchboard Cladding is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and professional builders looking to protect or renovate outdoor sheds and timber structures. These 15mm thick boards provide a durable, weather-resistant barrier that offers a clean, professional aesthetic for exterior walls. While the tongue and groove design simplifies the installation process, users should note that the timber is pressure-treated for exterior use and may require further sealing or staining if a specific decorative color finish is desired.

These are primarily designed for external use. Due to the pressure treatment, they are not recommended for interior living spaces.
Painting is optional. While they are treated to resist decay, a stain or paint can be applied to enhance the aesthetic and provide an extra layer of UV protection.
With 10 boards in a pack, each providing 0.36m2, the total coverage per pack is 3.6m2.
Use corrosion-resistant nails, such as stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized, to avoid chemical reactions with the wood treatment.
Yes, but you must install vertical battens first to provide a fixing surface and to create a necessary air gap for drainage.
Check that the tongue is free of debris or wood splinters; verify that the boards are perfectly square to the frame before fastening.
This is often normal for pressure-treated wood; a quick sanding followed by an exterior-grade wood stain will restore the desired appearance.
Ensure that the cladding is securely fixed at every stud point and that adequate ventilation is maintained behind the boards.
To ensure the longevity of your cladding, store the boards in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area until installation. During setup, it is recommended to use stainless steel or galvanized nails to prevent corrosion from the treatment chemicals within the wood. When installing, leave a slight gap at the ends to allow for natural timber expansion. For maintenance, it is advisable to apply a high-quality exterior wood preservative or outdoor wood stain every 2-3 years, depending on the exposure levels, to maintain the water-repellent properties of the boards.
