NATURCLAD-W is a laminated wood board for exteriors that requires zero maintenance. The panels combine the virtues of wood, its natural warmth and beauty, with technical requirements to ensure optimum performance on exteriors over time. NATURCLAD-W can be installed as a ventilated façade by way of louvres or overlapping slats, on false ceilings and on curved walls.

Zero maintenance wood The surface composition of the NATURCLAD-W boards protects the wood from the most extreme weather conditions, removing any need for subsequent treatment. Weather resistance The EN 438-6:2005 European standard specifies that compact exterior cladding such as NATURCLAD-W must offer a certain resistance to weather according to the Resistance to Artificial Weathering Test. After 3000 hours of exposure, the material should have a rating variation of ≥4 in appearance, and a rating of ≥3 in contrast. NATURCLAD-W attains these values following exposure of up to 5 times greater...

The ventilated façade is an efficient bioclimatic architecture solution that provides thermal insulation. In other words, it reduces heat dissipation in the cold months and heat absorption in the warmer months, resulting in a marked improvement in comfort inside the building.

The NATURCLAD-W panels are available in nine shades that are obtained through ayous or okume veneer, which we get from forests that respect controlled felling. Due to the fact that wood is a natural product, each veneer must be considered as unique. The presence of slight differences in colour and structure is normal. Peculiarities such as knots or resin inclusions are not considered to be defects, but as part of the decoration. Depending on the species and the source of the wood, differences in performance may be observed, as regards the colour's light fastness. For this reason, no claims...

Product: NATURCLAD-W / Wood: Rustik Le Monastère des Augustines, by ABCP Architecture (Quebec, Canada) The NATURCLAD-W installation system in fixed louvre mode enables slats to be installed at 0º, 30º and 60º, both horizontally and vertically. Valid for boards with a thickness of ≥10 mm. Parklex Prodema supplies the slats in three different widths: 86, 94 and 114 mm, with a maximum slat length of 2440

Product: NATURCLAD-W / Wood: Rustik KNDU Villas, by GAD Architecture (Antalya, Turkey) The flexibility of the wood fibres allows NATURCLAD-W panels to adapt to certain radii of curvature, whether concave or convex. Parklex Prodema offers two different solutions for projects that require NATURCLAD-W to be installed as a curved façade cladding: either standard panels, if radii above 3 m are required; or pre-bent panels, if smaller radii are required.

The overlapping slats system enables a range of assembly procedures without needing to change the position of the parts' profiles. Two different slat widths are supplied: 190 and 290 mm, both with a maximum length of 2440 mm. This concealed fixing system is only valid for thicknesses of 8 mm.

NATURCLAD-W boards can be installed on false ceilings by means of exposed or concealed fixing systems. In the case of false ceilings, a minimum perimeter space of 20 mm must be left to enable ventilation through the chamber. Product: NATURCLAD-W / Wood: Rustik Sutton Offices in Magog (Quebec, Canada)
