The advantages of wooden cladding

The advantages of wooden cladding

Wooden cladding is becoming increasingly popular. Not only among architects and contractors, but also among private individuals. Are you curious about the advantages of wooden cladding? We list them for you in this blog. 

Wood has a beautiful look

Wooden cladding gives your home or building a unique and characteristic appearance. Because wood is a natural material, it gives the exterior of your home a look and feel that cannot be achieved with other materials. Because wood adds a natural feeling of warmth, it looks robust and it suits almost every type of home. From rural to industrial and from modern to classic. That’s why more and more people are choosing for a unique wooden cladding

Wood can be a sustainable choice

Sustainability is an important concept more than ever. You therefore want your new cladding to be made from a sustainable material. Wood is a good example of this, as each board stores CO2 and thus contributes to the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere. In addition, wood from sustainably managed forests is an especially good choice. By using wood from demonstrably sustainably managed forests, we ensure that these forests are preserved for the future.

Burning the surface of the wood further extends its lifespan. So check out black charred wood too!

Customised wood for any design

Wood can be made in various dimensions to fit any design. Think of small planks or thick beams and a vertical or horizontal installation.

There are endless possibilities that make the façade look unique. At Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban, we can give you advise for your aesthetic and technical design choices. In addition, you can choose our own professional Zwarthout installation service to assembly your charred wood perfectly.
