What is the best aluminium cladding
The dynamic of design is constantly changing, and what we have is right up to date with current trends. Biophilia is certainly a design style to connect us closer to nature, and so is Technowood. This is Aluminium cladding that has been completely covered in a beautiful timber veneer. It looks like timber, not aluminium…
How long does aluminium cladding last?
Aluminium as a stand-alone product will last for over 40 years, with most aluminium covered in plastic lasting about 15 years. Technowood is warranted for up to 20 years and has a service life much longer than that.
Aluminium cladding with texture
Technowood aluminium profiles are wrapped in real wood veneer, which gives texture to the cladding and adds sophisticated quality to any project.

Is aluminium cladding suitable for houses?
Of course, there have been hundreds of properties that have been clad in the many different products that Technowood has to offer, from plain cladding boards to complex cladding and fin arrangements with matching windows and doors.
How do you clean and maintain Technowood cladding?
Due to the make-up of the timber fibres and the specialist oils that are applied the surface has micro technology to enable a self-cleaning surface. Maintenance is therefore very much removed in the short term. If after many years, you with to apply a finish oil again simply wipe down with a mild soapy cloth, dry and then reapply the surface oil…
