Exterior cladding panels and wood-look facades

The Timbermax ventilated façade offers a number of benefits in terms of energy savings, sound insulation and protection of the supporting structure. We install an established and time-tested external building envelope system using exclusively dry processes. The ventilated façade system can be installed on new houses, apartment buildings or even projects undergoing renovation. The Timbermax ventilated façade system provides the building with a gap between its external wall and the external cladding. Its primary purpose is to provide heat exchange and air recovery that circulates between the interior and exterior of the building. The ventilated façade promotes natural air movement and the upward tendency of warm air flowing in the chamber between the external wall and the external cladding. The thermal efficiency of the ventilated façade is based on the difference between the temperature inside the chamber and the temperature in the exterior.

Vented facade in summer

The increase in temperature inside the cavity during the summer months creates a “stack effect” that pushes air upwards, lowering the temperature of the wall towards the inside of the building. In other words, it keeps the building cooler.

Vented façade in winter

During the cold winter months, the air envelope in the ventilated façade equalizes the temperature of the wall facing the interior of the building, reducing the risk of condensation.

Facades made of Timbermax profiles are designed for people who do not want to worry about the annual maintenance of wooden boards. They are designed for people who value their time and money. This is because they realise that an initially larger investment will pay off in the long run and eventually come back. The cost of maintaining a wooden exterior is often more than the cost of the façade itself after many years.

The facade cladding comes with a 25-year guarantee for colour fastness, stain and ffac resistance. Timbermax facade cladding requires absolutely no maintenance. This is especially true for surfaces that are exposed to rain. In these areas the surface is self-cleaning. In areas of the tiling that are not exposed to rain, it is sufficient to use a low-pressure cleaner (vape) or a stream of clean water twice a year. If bird dirt flakes have dried on the façade, simply wipe them off with a damp cloth. In case of more intense soiling, a weak, non-concentrated solution with a non-aggressive detergent can be used to clean the façade with a cloth or soft brush. Afterwards, a rinse with a stream of water is necessary. No protective coatings are necessary to maintain colour fastness. Timbermax boards cannot be impregnated.

Maintenance free

Maintenance costs over the years are almost zero. Timbermax boards can be cleaned with rainwater.

Energy saving

Less spending on heating and air conditioning. The insulating properties of the Timbermax ventilated façade achieve energy savings of 25 to 40%.

No condensation of the facade composition

The air gap facilitates the evacuation of water vapour coming from inside the building, which is greatly aided by the rise of warm air. The so-called chimney effect is a characteristic of ventilated facades.

Sound insulation

Thanks to the ventilated air cavity, the Timbermax ventilated façade system prevents the transmission of noise to the inside of the building and therefore also prevents health problems caused by noise, such as stress, fatigue, headaches, lack of concentration. We also recommend the tiles for schools, halls, theatres, offices and quiet homes.

Also suitable for renovations

A system suitable for building renovations to restore aesthetics and add material variation to the building. The ventilated façade system is easy to install over existing façade layers.

Minimum waste

The substructure and compact boards are mounted directly onto the underlying façade, avoiding the build-up of large amounts of dirt and the cost of removing it.

Added value for the building

By choosing Timbermax façade boards, which are the best quality choice on the European market, your building will completely change its appearance, making it more modern and therefore increasing its value.

Dry process only

The installation process of the Timbermax ventilated façade is carried out in a "dry process" using mechanical anchoring and fastening systems.

Hidden wiring

This system allows gas, water, electricity and air conditioning pipes to be concealed between the wall and the cladding profile in the area of the substructure grid.

Overheating of facade panels in the summer heat

Due to the inferior quality of WPC boards, which have been offered on the Slovak market for decades, some customers, when they first come into contact with Timbermax boards, are worried about overheating of WPC profiles in the summer heat. Testing and comparing the profiles over the years of working with this material shows the following.

Compared to hardwood in a similarly dark finish, the temperature difference with the timbermax profile is a maximum of 5-7 °C. This is a surface temperature that can only be perceived by touch or contact with the bare skin of the body surface.

Unlike conventional WPC, heated Timbermax patio slabs will cool down shortly after the clouds arrive or when the awning is opened, but they will never feel cold to the touch like stone or ceramic. Outside of the summer heat, the thermal properties of Timbermax profiles are an advantage for facades. Timbermax cladding is already slightly warmed under the soft March light and helps to better thermoregulate the building. The Timbermax ventilated façade makes the building healthier, gets rid of mould and, as the heat rises, makes it easier for water vapour coming from the inside of the building to escape.
