Tongue and groove with a s-joint provides further demarcation and accentuation of the gap between boards than TG&V cladding. It is typically fixed vertically although may also be fixed horizontally.

TG&S cladding

TG is the abbreviation for tongue and groove which refers to the interlocking edge of the boards. TG&S refers to the square joint or more prominent ‘shadow gap’ that is created through greater demarcation of the individual boards.

Tongue and groove cladding is one of the most versatile profile types available because of its wide range of uses including gates, garden screens, fencing and cladding. It is typically fixed vertically, although often used horizontally as well in addition to mixed orientation cladding to break up a large cladding expanse. TG&S cladding looks particularly impressive when illuminated at night.

The interlocking nature of tongue and groove boards make them easy to fit and weatherproof.

A notable downside of tongue and groove cladding is the difficulty of removing or replacing boards once in place.

TG&S provides a right angled edge for a harder appearance, but we also provide TG&S Weathered with a 45 degree angle either side of the join to give a softer appearance.
