Cladding is like the lungs of a house. With it the house can breathe freely and become one with its surroundings. Apart from providing protection against different weather conditions, wood cladding is light and airy, which has a benign effect on the micro climate of the house. Wood adds to the feeling of warmth and cosiness. Cladding is used to cover external walls, either completely or partially (for instance, dormer windows, eaves or balconies), in combination with other types of facade. Siberian Larch and thermally treated wood, which contain no harmful chemical preservatives, are resistant to both decay and insects; over time, without any maintenance, they develop a silver patina.
Thermal treatment removes resin from coniferous wood, thus allowing easier maintenance of the wood surface. The density of thermally treated wood is 10% greater than that of untreated wood. Cladding also functions as high quality, long term insulation, requiring low maintenance costs.
