Short answer: for façade cladding, Douglas fir Swedish-profile cladding 27 × 195 mm is the standard board: €11.40 per 3.00 m length, effective width 18 cm. Black dipped, it costs €13.35. Pressure-treated spruce Swedish-profile cladding costs €11.25 per 3.00 m. We do not stock larch, red cedar, fraké, rhombus, thermowood or Trespa.
Which timber do you choose for the façade?
- Douglas fir: durability class 3, suitable above ground without impregnation. Left untreated it weathers to grey; with stain you keep the colour. Choose from Swedish-profile cladding, half-lap cladding and log cabin profile.
- Pressure-treated spruce or pine: the most economical choice. The pine cladding board of 18 × 145 mm costs €6.00 per 3.00 m.
- Oak: planed half-lap cladding for those who want a crisp, heavy façade. Limited availability; ask about availability in advance. Fix oak with stainless steel.
If you see "larch" in our shop, it refers to a Douglas fir stain colour, not larch wood.

Frequently asked questions
Is rhombus the same as rabat cladding?
No. Rhombus is a profile with bevelled edges that is screwed onto battens with an open joint. Rabat cladding boards overlap each other. We do not stock rhombus, but we do stock rabat cladding. Explanation: what is rabat cladding?
Can I impregnate Douglas fir for the façade?
Douglas fir does not need to be impregnated, and the heartwood absorbs the preservative poorly anyway. It is naturally durability class 3 and suitable for a façade above ground. If you want to keep the colour, use stain. See Douglas fir maintenance.
Does untreated Douglas fir turn grey?
Yes. In sun and rain, untreated Douglas fir turns silver-grey. That is a colour change on the surface, not rot.
Do you sell fascia boards?
We do not have a product called fascia board in the shop. Ask us, giving the size you are looking for.
Is Cedar composite suitable as façade cladding?
No. At Jan Sok, Cedar is a colour of composite decking board for patios, not façade cladding and not red cedar wood.
