Wooden facade

A wooden facade can almost be a work of art. Okoume wood is a real gem from Central and West Africa, a rarity among exotic wood species. Okoume has been known in Europe since the beginning of the nineteenth century, but recently this material has become especially popular.

Since the early nineteenth century, the African state of Gabon has been one of the largest exporters of okoumé. This wood is highly valued in Western Europe and has been used for many years as a material for finishing facades. Thanks to its aesthetic properties, okoumé allows you to create a unique facade with a touch of African temperament, a facade that evokes images of the wild savannah.

Wooden facade with "African character"

Modern houses often have simple, minimalist facades. They can be complemented and enlivened with wooden decorative elements and colored window frames. An okoume facade will give the building an original look. Warm shades of okoume vary from orange-pink to dark red and resemble the color of an African sunset, which creates stunning visual effects. Horizontally arranged okoume elements will help to visually enlarge the building. If you arrange okoume boards diagonally or in other bizarre shapes, the appearance of the building will become truly unique.

Wooden facade - durable beauty

As a rule, special fastening profiles are used for installation of okoume facade boards. The boards are often supplied in two standard sizes - 15x145 mm and 15x108 mm. This will help you choose and adapt the elements to any surface. Okoume facade boards are assembled using the tongue-and-groove system, which greatly simplifies the installation process. The high dimensional stability of okoume protects the entire facade from possible deformations. However, the facade boards must be additionally protected with paint or impregnation. Take care of proper protection of the wood, and it will delight you with its beauty for many years.
