Wooden façades give your house a particularly natural look.
Wood creates a warm, natural look, while aluminium offers durability and weather resistance. PREFA makes it easy to combine the two materials, whether you want to accentuate a wooden façade or create a deceptively realistic imitation wood effect. The result is a stylish, low-maintenance and durable solution for any façade.
Wood meets aluminium on the façade
Aluminium façades are largely maintenance-free. Some types of wood are also suitable as façade cladding without surface treatment and therefore do not require regular painting or varnishing. For this reason, and also because of their unique look, the combination of aluminium and wood has been a proven a popular combination for decades!
For more sustainability: renewable wood – recyclable aluminium
Sustainability plays a major roll in this context: while wood grows back, aluminium is fully recyclable. Compared to conventional façades, most of the elements used in a ventilated rainscreen façade, in particular, can be separated by type and returned to the material cycle at the end of their long life cycle. Thanks to the ventilation gap, moisture problems in the entire wall structure are reliably avoided. In addition, the sub-structure framework and insulation can be installed throughout, regardless of the cladding material chosen, whether wood or aluminium.
Both materials, wood and aluminium, also impress with their long lifespan, which also helps to keep maintenance costs low.

If materials go well together and create visual pressure at the same time, they can be deliberately staged. Discover interesting examples of the successful combination of wood and aluminium here:
