Horizontal wood cladding: width and harmony for your facade
Horizontal wood cladding is especially valued for the sense of width and visual stability it gives a building. This installation orientation, the most common and the easiest to install, is compatible with all of our wood species, including Western Red Cedar, Thermo Larch and Nordic Spruce, as well as our various profiles (traditional, open-joint, false open-joint, board-and-batten).
Horizontal cladding for every type of project
Our horizontal cladding projects cover everything from single-family homes to larger-scale developments: collective housing, public buildings, commercial and industrial buildings, and hotels & restaurants.
Horizontal or vertical: which installation should you choose?
Horizontal cladding evokes traditional construction and creates a sense of width, while vertical installation accentuates a building's height for a more contemporary look. The choice mainly depends on the architectural style you're after and your facade's proportions. Our team can advise you on the best orientation for your project.
