Step 2
Cladding selection
Two options are available for the exterior material of your Woodcab, both featuring ventilated openwork cladding with alternating 7 cm slats (2.4 cm thick) and 1 cm gaps:
1. Thermally treated wood cladding
The wood here has been heated to a high temperature to make it rot-resistant. The process, which uses no added chemicals, causes a permanent physicochemical transformation of the wood’s components. This results in a change of color, increased dimensional stability, and greater resistance to fungi and wood-boring insects. The wood is treated throughout.
2. Burnt larch wood cladding
Based on the ancient Japanese technique “Shou sugi Ban” (burnt + brushed + oiled). This treatment provides protection against insects, rot, and sunlight. The dark color remains stable over time, and the cladding’s lifespan can exceed 20 years.
