Façade cladding in the form of wood can be individually designed. The choice of the type of wood, the shape of the profile or cross-section, the type of installation and the surface treatment influence the design of the façade.
Wood can be used as a load-bearing substructure for façade cladding or as façade cladding itself. Solid wood, profiled boards and wood materials can be used. Of the native wood species, spruce, pine, oak and chestnut are suitable as clothing.
Solid wood:
Solid wood has been used as façade cladding for centuries. Attachment can be done quickly and without a lot of dust, dirt and construction waste.
Wood-based materials:
Profiled boards:
a wooden façade, a structure with rear ventilation is usually required. For this purpose, frame timbers are mounted vertically on the load-bearing wall at certain intervals (e.g. every 50 or 80 cm).
If the insulation of the load-bearing wall is not sufficient, or if the wall is not yet insulated, (additional) insulation can be installed between the frame timbers.
For horizontal façade cladding without additional insulation:
The horizontal wooden cladding can be mounted on the frame timbers. Rear ventilation is provided, as the air can circulate between the frame timbers.
For vertical façade cladding and horizontal façade cladding with additional insulation:
A horizontal counter batten is mounted on the frame timbers. The façade cladding will be attached to it.
Profiled boards belong to building material class B2 according to DIN 4102
The wood moisture content should be between 12 and 18% during installation
