Wood Cladding with EnviroSlat from Futurewood

Mentioning wood cladding to your clients may paint a picture of an elegant cosy Swiss alpine chalet in their minds.

Today wood cladding is no longer confined to the exterior - it has earned a diverse functionality.

Safety first!

Before proceeding on your wood cladding project, secure a building permit to make sure that any retrofits or new projects are in line with the local building code.

The Interiors

Wood cladding brings out a modern, rustic, but warm appeal to any interior. It adds a sense of balance, character and creativity. Cladding interior walls with composite timber brings warmth to a dull space, adding texture the naked eye can easily adjust to. Composite wood cladding is a convenient way to bring nature right into the heart of a home or office.

Here are some enticing wall ideas that will help you upsell composite wood cladding clients:

1. Tickle the fancy and appetite of diners by using a mahogany coloured EnviroSlat wall cladding. Extend the feature wall up to the ceiling, creating a wooden ceiling panel. For a complete rustic look, pair it up with a dark mahogany table and dining room table chairs.

2. An interesting style twist can be made out of wood cladding by using it as a vertical divider or clad nib wall, separating a large open floor plan in a home.
3. Composite wood is also a welcome addition to a bedroom fixture - the grand headboard. It could be built in a way that it extends the headboard to screen off a section of the bedroom that could be used as a walk-in closet or a mini-storage room.
4. From a grand headboard to a bed canopy! Embrace the modern rustic style by extending the simple wall cladding up the ceiling to create a timber canopy.
5. If the home has a blank white wall and the client wants to spice things up, wood cladding is the go-to remedy!

Pro tip: Keep in mind that Futurewood allows the clients to have greater control in terms of the colour, design and pattern of the wood cladding boards. This is beneficial for interior designers, architects and clients to implement their design vision.

6. Play with symmetry. Wood cladding planks create a visually stimulating feature wall by running the planks horizontally and vertically. It's a simple but effective way to show the design has been thought through.
7. A symmetrical wood cladding is a great provision for hanging or displaying artworks, cork-made reminder boards, keyholders and other DIY projects.

The Exteriors

There is no doubt that natural timber is still the material of choice in the building industry. However, a timber façade on a building or home will have higher maintenance costs. Not to mention the façade specifications that are included in builder warranties and contracts for delivery. There is no way to guarantee that the timber façade will not change over time.

With composite wood cladding, the façade will maintain its long-lasting aesthetics and natural weathered look without rotting, twisting or warping.

With Futurewood's EnviroSlat cladding, the benefits, design and functional possibilities are endless!
