The Paris profile has long been a popular choice for open facade cladding. Also known as rhombus, this refers to the shape of the profile. By open cladding we mean vertical or horizontal cladding with spaces between the profiles. The Paris profile is available in different widths and one thickness. It is an easy-to-install model that creates a beautiful spatial image. An advantage of this profile is that it provides direct ventilation and that, when installed correctly, constructive tensions never arise. According to the building code, the gaps must be between 7 and 10 mm, due to vermin and the natural shrinkage and swelling of the wood. With the Paris profile it is important to take into account the correct framework and a vapour-open moisture-resistant foil, which must also be completely UV-resistant due to the spaces in between. The ventilation slats should be mounted center to center every 40 to 60 mm. With vertical cladding it is possible to stagger the lengths, which often means less wood is needed and the ease of layout is increased. If you prefer a rhombus profile, but as closed cladding, you can look at the Berlin profile or the new Forestlines profile suitable for Fire Class B. The Paris profile is often used for cladding, fences, sheds and garden houses.
Many treatments offer a demonstrably longer lifespan for cladding, meaning less frequent maintenance is required. Accoya cladding, for example, lasts twice as long thanks to its high dimensional stability and the film-forming coating system. It is easy to finish and requires little preparation or sanding.
The Paris (Rhombus) profile is available in the above standard sizes. Please contact us for any other sizes upon request.
Hollands Hout (Staatsbosbeheer) has developed an outdoor collection of larch cladding in collaboration with Boogaerdt Hout. Larch Dutch Wood comes from the Dutch forests of Staatsbosbeheer. It has a good natural durability and can be finished with various paint systems. The first outdoor collection line available is produced from spin-free Larch. The quality is optimized by finger-jointing the parts under KOMO and is therefore available in longer lengths. Larch Holland wood can be finished with mineral paints from KEIM, which has developed a colour palette especially for Larch Holland Wood. The Larch Holland Wood has been tested in End-USE for an open façade, including this finish, and achieves fire class D-s1,d0. A closed façade can also be equipped with fire class D. Other paint systems are currently being tested.
