It is important to care for your exterior timber shiplap cladding to ensure that it remains in good condition and stays looking at its best.

Here are some tips on how to care for and maintain exterior timber shiplap cladding:

  1. Clean the cladding regularly: Dirt, debris, and algae can accumulate on the cladding over time. It's important to clean it regularly using a soft-bristled brush and a mild detergent solution. Avoid using a pressure washer, as it can damage the cladding.
  2. Inspect for damage: Regularly inspect the cladding for any signs of wear, such as cracks, splits, or rot. Repair or replace any damaged sections as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
  3. Apply a protective finish: A protective finish such as paint, stain or sealant can help to protect the cladding from the elements. Apply the finish according to the manufacturer's instructions and reapply as necessary.
  4. Maintain adequate ventilation: Good ventilation is essential to prevent moisture from accumulating behind the cladding, which can lead to rot and other damage. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation behind the cladding by installing vents or leaving gaps in the cladding.
  5. Trim nearby vegetation: Overhanging trees and shrubs can cause damage to the cladding and also prevent it from drying out properly. Trim back any vegetation that is too close to the cladding.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your exterior timber shiplap cladding in good condition, prolonging its life span and ensuring that it continues to look great for years to come.
