Is this Cladding?

[Rollerball]

Okay, just showing my ignorance of terminology here, but are these planks of wood commonly referred to as cladding:

They are 12.5cm in width and 2cm thick

As can be seen from the pics, they are designed to overlap. Also one side is rounded, the other flat.

If they're not called cladding, then what are they?

I need to buy some 10 foot 'planks' of them, so I guess they'll be expensive?

Then again, I guess I could use standard planks instead!

suspect youll need to visit a wood yard to get 20mm thick and around 1.25 to £1.75 m
