Material Overview: Timber panels represent a wooden panel product that offers both density and durability in certain rainscreen contexts. Colors can evolve and change over the life of the product, providing designers with an exterior facade that offers organic variety and the ability to weather naturally over time. Design Considerations: Timber panels are an interesting choice for rainscreen appliations given the density of their structure. The panels themselves do not take well to stain or exterior finishes and so it is recommended to allow them to age and 'silver' over time, creating a natural and modern exterior aesthetic. Contact an ECO Cladding representative for more details for designing with timber panels.
