Exotic and Softwood Facades
Wooden facades have recently become one of the most fashionable exterior design elements of modern homes. A wooden accent on the facade adds variety, style, and elevates the overall standard of the building. In our offer you will find facade boards made from softwood and exotic wood species such as Siberian larch, Scandinavian spruce, meranti, and okoume.
Exotic wood species perform exceptionally well in changing weather conditions. Thanks to the natural content of oily substances within the wood structure, exotic woods are resistant to moisture and pests. Moreover, due to the unusual and variable environments in which these species grow, they are exceptionally hard, dense, and dimensionally stable.
Maintenance of wooden facades is based on cleaning and impregnating the boards with an appropriate product every 1–3 years (depending on the protective coating used). For exotic woods, maintenance aims to restore and preserve the natural colour of the wood. Regular impregnation is not required for their longevity. For softwood species, however, maintenance is recommended not only to preserve colour but also to protect the wood itself.
WOODEN FACADE INSTALLATION
We offer comprehensive installation of wooden facades, including moisture protection and insulation. Using the correct installation technology, ensuring proper ventilation, and protecting against moisture guarantees long‑lasting aesthetics and durability. Roble’s experienced installation teams can handle even the most demanding projects.
CHARRED AND BURNT WOOD FACADES
An interesting alternative to traditionally oiled wood are unique facade boards in charred or burnt versions. To achieve the effect of a blackened, carbonised, or beautifully toasted wooden board, we use a proven Japanese technique. A facade finished in this way not only offers a striking visual effect but also gains natural resistance to biological factors.
How does facade installation work?
As part of our comprehensive service, we offer wooden facade installation using a cross‑batten system, which includes:
- installation of a substructure made of battens and counter‑battens from impregnated or exotic wood, mounted crosswise using steel brackets,
- mineral wool insulation filling the cross‑batten structure,
- installation of a vapour‑permeable membrane ensuring proper moisture drainage,
- installation of facade boards using a hidden or visible system (depending on the selected board profile).
