Woodfac Panel

WOODFAC Panel is a closed façade system that wraps your building in real wood while quietly handling the hard work behind the scenes. Wooden lamellae sit on a structure of 100% recycled Greenline® aluminium, forming a breathable climate screen that protects the building without trapping moisture — the look of a timber façade, with the performance of a modern rainscreen. Every lamella is FSC®- or PEFC™-certified and fire-impregnated with a Cradle to Cradle–certified, natural flame retardant, reaching fire classifications up to B-s1,d0 (EN 14915 / EN 16755).

SPONTANEOUS PROFILE

Typical architecture in a specific territory produces a varied composition and the unique character of a spontaneous wall solution. The combination of shapes and colours expresses the significant geographical and cultural roots of the original location, and transforms cultural identity and traditions into cosmopolitan charm, making an important contribution to contemporary architecture. ©Geopietra® ©Geopietra® ©Geopietra® ©Geopietra® ©Geopietra® ©Geopietra® ©Geopietra® ©Geopietra® More

Stone block wall, worked from its initial rough form into a more rectangular shape, with horizontal courses of varying heights and vertical joints nicely staggered.
