The advantages of raw wood cladding - Authentic Collection
Raw wood: a living material that stands the test of time
Choosing raw wood cladding means choosing a material that fully embraces its natural appearance. Without varnish, stain or saturator, the wood reacts freely to its environment. It is this evolution that makes it unique: each façade becomes a living element of the architecture, constantly changing depending on its exposure, the climate and the passing seasons.
The natural greying of wood is not a flaw, but an aesthetic value sought after in many projects. It gives the building a discreet nobility, far from standardised finishes. This type of cladding is aimed at architects, project managers and individuals who want to give character to their construction without artifice.
A raw material, but not basic
Contrary to popular belief, raw wood cladding does not mean ‘unfinished’. In the Authentic collection, each board is carefully selected: species, drying, surface appearance, stability... nothing is left to chance. Some variants offer sawn or brushed textures for a subtle relief that captures the light and accentuates the visual depth of the façades.
The absence of finish also highlights the natural richness of the wood: grain, knots, irregularities... all elements that tell the story of the material and create a unique visual identity.
A response to contemporary challenges
In a context where sustainable construction is becoming the norm, raw wood cladding is a simple, local solution with a low environmental impact. The absence of finishing products means:
- Less grey energy associated with manufacturing and the application of treatments
- No release of chemicals into the environment
- Recyclability at the end of its life
