Vertical Exterior Wood Cladding – A Modern Solution for the Façade

Vertical exterior wood cladding gives the façade a modern, stylish look, visually emphasising the building’s height and proportions. This installation method is particularly suitable for contemporary projects that aim for a clean, minimalist aesthetic. In addition, vertical siding lines allow you to freely combine different design elements, such as horizontally installed siding or contrasting materials, to create a unique façade character. Thermo pine and spruce are the most commonly chosen options for façades due to their excellent balance of durability and cost, while thermo ash is considered a premium solution for projects requiring higher density and a darker, more expressive appearance. This variety of thermo wood cladding allows each building to achieve a natural, durable and visually distinctive façade that meets both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Thermally modified vertical exterior cladding boards are distinguished by their exceptional durability and resistance to environmental influences. They tolerate moisture well, do not deform, and are less prone to moisture absorption and surface contamination even in heavy rain or snow. In addition, such siding is resistant to decay and ultraviolet rays, so the façade retains its natural wood colour and structure for a long time. Due to these properties, thermally modified siding façade finishes require minimal maintenance, saving time and money while ensuring the building’s aesthetic and functional durability.

Vertical external timber cladding also offers great design freedom – it can be combined with horizontal cladding or used as the main façade element. Vertical installation is particularly suitable for modern projects, as it visually emphasises the building’s height and gives it an elegant, contemporary look. Siding can be installed in various ways: using visible fasteners such as screws or nails, or a hidden fastening system where the fasteners are not visible. Most cladding profiles are suitable for both horizontal and vertical installation, but some are designed specifically for vertical fastening.

Vertical outdoor cladding panels can be fastened in various ways, including with wood screws, nails, or special concealed fastening solutions. The chosen fastening method not only determines the façade’s aesthetics but also ensures the durability of the wood. It is imperative to follow the installation instructions when installing a ventilated façade, as properly installed cladding helps provide air circulation, prevent moisture accumulation, and extend the façade’s service life. Properly installed siding retains its natural appearance, resists environmental influences, and requires minimal maintenance. Thanks to simple maintenance and proper fastening, the façade retains its aesthetic appearance for a long time, making vertical exterior cladding a reliable and functional choice for both residential and commercial buildings.

Therefore, vertical exterior siding is an excellent choice for those seeking a modern, aesthetic, and durable façade. They visually emphasise the building’s height, add naturalness and warmth, and various installation and surface-treatment methods allow the finish to be adapted to individual projects. Thermally modified siding is resistant to moisture, rot, and UV rays, so the façade retains its appearance for a long time. Simple installation and minimal maintenance requirements ensure functionality and aesthetics. This makes vertical exterior cladding a reliable solution for both residential and commercial buildings, combining modern design and practicality.
