Wood texture has a strong impact on how a building or interior is perceived. We have expanded our product range of wood cladding with hewn cladding boards, bringing back a surface that was once created entirely by hand.
In traditional woodworking, timber was shaped using tools, and the marks they left behind became part of the material’s character. What once emerged from practical necessity has today become a deliberate design choice in both architecture and wood cladding interior design. Today, designers increasingly look for organic surfaces and authenticity that only real wood can provide. The irregular texture and visible tool marks give depth and vibrancy that perfectly smooth, planed timber surfaces often lack.
Our hewn cladding boards combine this traditional character with modern wood technology. The boards are made from thermowood (thermo timber), specifically thermally modified pine, which enhances durability and dimensional stability while giving the wood a deeper, natural tone.
The surface is intentionally rough and uneven, creating a natural handcrafted appearance. Due to the hewn treatment, every board is slightly different, making each installation unique – whether used as wood wall cladding, facade material or even in garden shed timber cladding projects.
But what is thermowood and why prefer it?
Thermowood is heat-treated timber that has improved stability, durability and resistance to moisture without the use of chemicals. This makes it a reliable choice for both thermowood cladding and thermowood decking, especially in demanding climates.
This material is particularly suitable for projects where the surface itself becomes part of the architectural expression, from residential interiors to public spaces and facade applications. For architects and builders, it offers a practical way to introduce natural texture into a project while maintaining the reliability of modern wood processing.
