Continental wood-effect facade films – for modern facade design
The natural look of wood on building facades is always appealing: panels, shingles or hints of half-timbering lend their unmistakable character to more than just traditional architectural styles. In modern architecture too – in combination with glass, stone or exposed concrete, for example – wood or wood-effect facade cladding creates a lively and contemporary look.
There are many reasons to choose Continental’s innovative films for exterior facade design. Thanks to their lifelike wood decors, a wide variety of facade and building elements can be designed in a consistent way. In contrast to the real thing, visual and functional defects – such as weathering, deformation or cracking – are virtually impossible with wood-effect facades. Continental wood-effect facade films offer industrial processors stylish design options at an excellent price-performance ratio!
High heat resistance for the wood-effect facade film
If a facade heats up considerably when exposed to sunlight, this can lead to damage to the outer shell of the building in the long term. Conti® woodec facade films – just like all Continental films for outdoor use – come equipped with the unique cool colors technology and are therefore particularly weather-resistant. A special coating reflects most of the near-infrared radiation away, keeping the surface measurably cooler than conventional surfaces. The risk of functional defects is significantly reduced as a result. The decors remain brilliant for many years, as the films are highly UV-resistant. In addition, when applied professionally, Continental facade films also support the waterproof sealing of the substrate. This keeps facades perfect in terms of their shape and well protected for many years.
An authentic wood effect with no need to use real wood
Conti® woodec facade films exude the natural charm and lively structure of a real wooden facade, while also offering the benefits of state-of-the-art film technology. Whether Scandinavian oak in a wide range of color variations or Mediterranean pine with its typical grain: Continental facade films can be used for applications that would be much more complex – or even impossible – to implement using real wood. A unique manufacturing process makes this possible: the special vinyl sheet is first printed with a detailed wood decor. A deep surface embossing is then applied to the film, creating living wood structures that are modeled on nature. Finally, the film is given several coatings to offer permanent protection of the surface. The level of detail, design variety and technical properties of Conti® facade films are unmatched on the market. Conti® woodec wood-effect facade films can be recycled at the end of their long service life. See the benefits for yourself and request your sample collection free of charge.
A wide range of design options with the wood-effect facade film
Full cladding or sophisticated visual effects? Anything is possible with Conti® facade films. Typical areas of application for Continental wood-effect facade films include curtain walls, pergolas, balconies, gable cladding, conservatories, terrace ceilings, privacy screens and many more besides. Cladding with facade panels is particularly attractive, either with or without shadow gaps. Panels for balconies or the entrance area structure the look of the building and create exciting contrasts. And for all applications, you benefit from unbeatable technical benefits. Continental woodec® facade films are maintenance-free, protect against wind and weather, and look as good as new even years later. Let your creativity run wild!
