Open-joint wood cladding - openwork design and natural ventilation

Why choose open-joint or perforated wood cladding ?

Open-joint wood cladding is becoming increasingly popular with architects and homeowners looking for a cladding that is attractive, technical and durable. Here are its main advantages:

A modern architectural look: the spaced boards create an elegant visual rhythm, playing with light and shadow for a contemporary and refined effect.
Enhances the natural beauty of wood: open-joint cladding allows the richness of the wood species to shine through, with their authentic nuances and grain.
Good ventilation of the façade: the spacing between the boards promotes air circulation, limiting moisture and extending the life of the cladding and the substrate.
Great aesthetic freedom: slat dimensions, choice of wood species, finishes... open-joint cladding adapts to all architectural styles, from the most traditional to the most contemporary.
Installation that combines aesthetics and technical expertise: when done well, it guarantees a neat finish while meeting technical requirements for durability and protection.

This type of cladding is therefore an excellent choice for those seeking a balance between design and performance, with all the charm of natural wood.
