Paneling / Wainscoting

Beautiful wood panelling, whether part of the interior or as part of the exterior façade, embodies functionality and aesthetic appeal. Indoors, it serves as a versatile design element, offering thermal regulation, visual warmth and acoustic insulation. Various wood species such as Fir, Spruce, Douglas Fir, Larch and Pine , as well as thermally treated wood/thermo-wood from Ash, Poplar, Pine, etc. , present a spectrum of tones and textures suitable for a variety of styles.

The choice between timber panelling and PVC panelling depends on the specific needs and the specific application. However, it should be noted that timber panelling can be more easily repaired, refurbished and requires minimal maintenance compared to PVC panelling, which is used as a one-off material and can become brittle over time, especially when exposed to extreme temperatures. Cracking, warping and fading are common problems with PVC cladding, potentially leading to the need for premature replacement. In addition, PVC is a plastic, a petroleum derivative that releases toxic chemicals, including dioxins, during manufacturing and when it breaks down. This contributes to environmental pollution and poses risks to human health.

Wood paneling serves as proof of sustainability, offering a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional building materials. It is fully biodegradable and produced from renewable resources.

Wood paneling contributes to the energy efficiency of the premises as it has insulating qualities. At the same time, it reduces noise intrusion from the outside environment, providing greater peace of mind for the occupants. This quality can be reinforced, if necessary, by the choice of a suitable, sound-insulating profile.

Wood paneling can be resistant to moisture and pests, thus ensuring a long life for the interior layout. It can be used in different parts of the home, both on the walls(wooden wall panelling) in the bedroom and living room, ceilings, as well as in the kitchen and even in the bathroom: heat-treated or other types of water-resistant wooden panelling find their application there. And depending on the type of wood and the treatment, in environments with low humidity – it can play a role in regulating the humidity in the room, as wood is a natural material that absorbs and releases moisture.

In general, the applications of wood panelling as a main element or accent provide designers with freedom when building the exterior or interior: as it can be combined with different materials it allows original concepts.

When applied as part of the exterior/exterior design – weather resistant and durable, paneling harmonizes seamlessly with its surroundings, aging gracefully, revealing a patina of character over time. From sleek, contemporary facades to whimsical, rustic havens, its versatility knows no bounds.

Last but not least, wood panelling offers a stylish and elegant look at a low cost compared to other cladding materials.”
