Description

Frake Noir Cladding is supplied in a choice of two tongue and groove options; either a V-joint 18x94mm or a Shadow Gap 18x144mm. External Corner Trims 42 x 42 x 7mm can also be supplied.

All items sold by the linear metre. Varying lengths available, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Frake Noir is a thermally modified, west African hardwood called Limba. Thermal modification increases Frake’s natural durability and dimensional stability, often achieving high durability classes suitable for external cladding. Attractive, uniform mid-brown tones after modification; ages gracefully to a silvery finish if left untreated. Good option when looking for a hardwood appearance with lower maintenance needs than many unteated tropical species.

Can be used untreated for long life; to maintain the original brown colour apply exterior wood oils or stains and reapply as required (commonly every 2-5 years depending on exposure). As with other timber claddings, ensure good ventilation, drainage and avoid direct ground contact; periodic cleaning and inspection for mechanical damage recommended. 

FSC certified.
