PROFILES

The shape of your project starts with the right timber profile.

The Shape of Your Project

The right profile gives your wood true character. It goes beyond simply connecting boards to define how light hits the surface and how the finished space feels. Whether you want a tight, modern finish or a textured, traditional look, we have you covered. We provide standard profiles for soffit, siding, decking, and interior paneling. We also offer the flexibility to build custom profiles for your specific needs.

Standard Profile Options

Fineline Tongue & Groove

Fineline Tongue & Groove

A refined tongue & groove profile with a minimal reveal for a clean, continuous surface.

  • Tight, consistent joints
  • Ideal for siding and interior applications
  • Subtle shadow line for a modern look
Tongue & Groove (V-Joint & Micro-V)

Tongue & Groove (V-Joint & Micro-V)

A classic profile with a subtle V-shaped reveal at each joint.

  • Minimal reveal for a sleek look - 1/4" with Micro-V, 1/2" with V-Joint
  • Clean, consistent lines create a smooth consistent surface
  • Timeless and versatile
Shiplap

Shiplap

A stepped profile that creates a small shadow line between boards.

  • Easier installation in some applications
  • Works well for both interior and exterior
Channel Siding

Channel Siding

A siding profile that creates a defined, uniform shadow line between boards.

  • Consistent spacing for a balanced appearance
  • Designed for exterior durability
  • Adds depth without heavy texture
Decking (Grooved for Hidden Fasteners)

Decking (Grooved for Hidden Fasteners)

Decking boards with a side groove designed for use with hidden clip systems such as Ipe clips.

  • Clean surface with no visible fasteners
  • Consistent spacing between boards
  • Designed for durability in exterior environments
Boards

Boards

Straight, square-edged boards with no profile, offering maximum flexibility.

  • Clean edges for a simple, modern look
  • Suitable for trims, fascia, and custom applications
  • Can be adapted to a variety of design needs

3D Profiles

3D profiles are designed to create texture, shadow, and visual movement.

  • Custom spacing, depths, and shapes
  • Ideal for feature walls and modern exteriors
  • Highly design-driven

Custom Profiles

We have the capability to design custom profiles that fit your vision. We can develop custom profiles based on:

  • Architectural drawings
  • Reference materials or images
  • Existing profiles that need modification
  • Completely new concepts

How It Works

  • We review your design intent and application
  • Develop shop drawings or mockups if required
  • Produce samples for approval
  • Move into production once finalized

Whether it’s a subtle variation or a fully unique profile, we’ll make sure it’s buildable, repeatable, and performs in the field.

Practical Considerations

Ease of installation

  • Movement and expansion
  • Moisture management and drainage
  • Maintenance access

We work closely with builders, designers, and architects to make sure the selected profile works both visually and technically.

Precision Milling

Profile consistency matters, especially across large projects.

What You Can Expect

  • Tight tolerances for a consistent fit
  • Clean, accurate profiles for smooth installation
  • Compatibility across batches and orders

Profiles & Finishing

Choosing the Right Profile

The right profile balances aesthetics, installation, and performance.

Design Considerations

  • Desired shadow lines and depth
  • Horizontal vs. vertical installation
  • Interior vs. exterior use
  • Scale of the space or building

Interaction with Color

  • Deeper grooves create more shadows, giving a darker appearance
  • Smooth profiles reflect more light, creating a lighter appearance
  • Texture can subtly shift how color is perceived

We consider profile and finish together to ensure the final result matches your expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the most popular profile?
Tongue & groove fineline is the most common profile that we supply.
Do profiles affect maintenance?
Not significantly, but deeper profiles may collect more dust or debris depending on the application.
Do you offer fully custom profiles?
Yes. We regularly produce custom profiles based on project-specific requirements.
Will custom profiles increase lead time or cost?
Yes. Custom tooling and sampling can add time and cost, but we’ll outline all of this upfront.
Can you provide samples?
Yes. We supply sample pieces so that you can review the profile before moving forward with your project.
