Introduction
PARKLEX PRODEMA introduces the NATURCLAD – W exterior wood cladding, a versatile material designed for external applications such as ventilated facades, curved facades, and louvers. Crafted with precision, this cladding solution combines flexibility, durability, and aesthetic appeal, making it an ideal choice for projects that demand distinctive facade elements.
Panel Composition and Features
NATURCLAD – W stands as a high-density laminate timber panel, engineered from kraft paper treated with thermoset resins. Subjected to high pressure and temperature, it culminates in a robust panel finished with natural timber veneers known for their resilience against UV radiation and atmospheric agents. The inclusion of Everlook®, a special overlay, significantly extends the panel’s lifespan, enhances UV resistance, and ensures color stability. This commitment to durability and minimal maintenance establishes it as an exemplar of sustainability throughout its life cycle.
Parklex Facade Construction: Ventilated Facade System
The installation of NATURCLAD – W as a ventilated facade presents a bioclimatic architectural solution that harmonizes with climatic conditions. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this system enhances energy efficiency by providing thermal insulation. The ventilated facade minimizes heat dissipation during colder months and reduces heat absorption in warmer months, contributing to an overall improvement in comfort. Its advantages, coupled with a sophisticated appearance, make it an optimal choice for building renovations.
1.Ventilated Facade Benefits
- Permeability: Allows air movement, preventing condensation behind panels and protecting against rainwater infiltration.
- Thermal Insulation: Eliminates thermal bridges, reducing temperature fluctuations and leading to energy savings.
- Solar Protection: Prevents overheating in summer, contributing to improved thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
- Acoustic Protection: The layered compound system enhances noise absorption.
2. Mounting Systems for Versatility
NATURCLAD – W offers various mounting systems catering to diverse architectural needs:
- Concealed: For a sleek appearance in wall and ceiling applications.
- Exposed: A cost-effective exposed fixing system.
- Louvers: Ideal for ventilated facades, creating shading devices.
- Clapboard Facade: Blending tradition with the benefits of a ventilated facade.
- Curved Facade: Adaptable connections for installation on curved surfaces.
3. Details: Low Maintenance, High Resistance
- No Maintenance: The surface composition protects against adverse weather conditions, eliminating the need for maintenance.
- Resistance: Complies with European Standard EN 438-6:2005, showcasing resilience to weather conditions and artificial weathering.
- Fire Safety: Meets European Standard EN 13501 for reaction to fire, ensuring the best possible results for organic materials.
