Sivalbp wood cladding & panelling certifications

In a context where expectations in terms of transparency, quality and environmental responsibility are ever higher, certifications play an essential role. They provide reassurance, guarantee compliance with strict standards and affirm our concrete commitments to our customers, partners and specifiers.
At Sivalbp, we consider these certifications to be markers of reliability, but also levers for continuous improvement. They support our industrial standards and reinforce the credibility of our products in the construction and development markets.

Wood certifications: quality, sustainability and traceability at Sivalbp

The quality of our products, their durability over time and our environmental commitment are at the heart of our industrial approach. That is why we have chosen to rely on recognised certifications that attest to our compliance with the most demanding standards in terms of sustainable forest management, wood traceability and product performance.

These certifications – such as PEFC, CTB B+ and CE marking – are much more than simple regulatory guarantees. They embody our desire to offer certified, responsible wood products that comply with current construction requirements, particularly in the context of RE2020, low-carbon initiatives and sustainable building projects.

Choosing Sivalbp certified wood cladding means opting for a reliable, controlled and traceable product sourced from responsibly managed forests. It also means contributing to a more virtuous wood industry, promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly architecture.

PEFC certification - For sustainable forest management

Sivalbp is committed to promoting sustainable and responsible forest management by sourcing wood exclusively from PEFC-certified species and other controlled sources.

PEFC certification (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification)

PEFC forest certification certifies that the wood used comes from sustainably managed forests.

PEFC certification attests to the sustainable management of the wood used at all stages of the wood cladding manufacturing process:

1. Forest: compliance with sustainable forest management rules
2. Harvesting: compliance with sustainable forest management rules
3. Marketing and use: compliance with chain of custody rules
4. Placing the finished product on the market

Bois de France certification – Promoting the local industry

Sivalbp is Bois de France certified for its wood cladding made from French species, particularly Douglas fir and Alpine spruce.

This certification guarantees that the wood used is of French origin and certifies complete traceability from the forest to the finished product.

It reflects our commitment to a local and responsible industry that promotes French forest resources and supports a circular economy. By favouring wood from sustainably managed forests, we help reduce the carbon footprint of our products while ensuring consistent quality.

CTB B+ certified preserved wood cladding – Guaranteed durability and performance

CTB B+ certification, issued by the FCBA (Forêt Cellulose Bois-construction Ameublement) Technology Institute, attests to the quality and effectiveness of the preservation treatments applied to cladding wood. This independent label guarantees long-lasting protection against wood-eating insects and fungi, for structures designed to last.

At Sivalbp, the cladding boards concerned are treated in-house at our production site in Thônes, according to a strictly controlled process that complies with French standard NF B 50-105-3. This control of the treatment chain, from the reception of the wood to the final certification, ensures a high and consistent level of reliability for our customers.

Choosing CTB B+ certified wood cladding means choosing a technical product that is well protected, fully traceable and compliant with the use classes defined by regulations. It is a safe choice to guarantee the durability of façades exposed to the most demanding outdoor conditions.
