Timber is one of the world’s top performing construction materials. Tried and tested over centuries, its inherent beauty, strength and durability has seen it remain one of the most popular building materials to this day.
Developments and advancements in engineered wood products and in timber treatments mean that timber can now be used where once materials like steel or concrete were the only option. And in key areas of acoustics, thermal performance, strength and fire resistance – timber is not just capable of answering a wide range of specifications but also of performing strongly, each and every time.
The natural appeal, versatility and strength of timber makes it the superior choice for external cladding. Through specification, planning, design and finishing processes, timber cladding / facade not only creates a building of superior strength, acoustic and thermal performance but also creates a place of beauty, style and natural appeal.
· Acoustic Performance
Not only aesthetically pleasing, timber also provides excellent acoustic properties, with many high-end architectural projects featuring external timber applications.
· Fire Performance
In a fire, timber performs in a measurable, predictable way allowing designers the ability to create strong, durable, fire resistant timber constructions.
· Strength Performance
Timber’s superior strength qualities provide a versatile building material best utilized for structural applications - from beams, walls and flooring to form work and large timber panels.
· Thermal Performance
As a naturally insulating material, timber has strong thermal performing properties. Construction design using timber, with a focus on energy efficiency will maximize comfort and minimize non renewable energy use.
No other cladding material can offer the design freedom, ease of handling, range and natural beauty of Accord Exterior Cladding. Accord Exterior Cladding can create a building to suit almost any environment, taste or style.
Accord Exterior Cladding has an inbuilt flexibility that provides natural advantages on sites subject to high winds, extreme climate, highly reactive soils, subsidence or earth tremors. And unlike masonry and other rigid materials, the natural resilience and high strength to weight ratio of timber enables it to withstand far greater stresses and movement.
Modern imported finishes give a long lasting and attractive appearance to Accord Exterior Cladding and can be used to change the colour and style of the building, making it a versatile material that will keep pace with changing tastes and fashions.
