Larch: a durable and robust wood for exterior joinery

Larch remains a highly sought‑after wood species for exterior applications in construction and wood processing. Within our range, Canadian larch plays an important role. This species combines natural durability, mechanical strength and a distinctive appearance, making it particularly suitable for façade cladding and other outdoor applications.

Canadian larch: a technically reliable wood species for façades and terraces

In exterior applications where wood is permanently exposed to weather conditions, material selection and technical performance play a decisive role. Within this context, Canadian larch is often chosen for its structural composition, resistance to moisture and predictable behaviour in both vertical and horizontal applications, such as façade cladding and terraces.

Padauk: a durable wood species for demanding exterior applications

When selecting wood for exterior applications where durability and stability are key, padauk is often considered. This tropical hardwood is known for its long service life, dimensional stability and consistent material behaviour, making it suitable for façade cladding, terraces and exterior joinery in professional projects.

Safety on site and effective branding? A strong combination

Guard rail boards, also used as C24 safeguard rails, are widely applied in site setup and temporary safety solutions. They contribute to safe walkways and fall protection on construction sites. Depending on the situation, custom‑made elements in strength class C24 may be required to ensure stability and safety in a reliable and compliant manner.
