In Great World City’s recent enhancement works, Parklex Façade – natural wood for exterior cladding – was applied on the exterior of the mall to give the building a new look.

Parklex Façade is a high-density stratified timber panel treated with resins thermoset under high pressure and temperature, then finished with natural timber veneers highly resistant to UV radiation and atmospheric agents. These non-combustible cladding panels are fire resistant, UV-stable and require no maintenance.

Known for its capability of resisting harsh weather conditions, Parklex Façade also comes with Everlook, a special overlay that dramatically improves the durability, UV resistance and colour stability of the panels. These qualities eliminate the need for any maintenance and treatment.

Parklex Façade F has also obtained the Certificate of Conformity in Singapore which guarantees the product’s fire safety by reducing the risk of damage caused by accidental fire due to the nature of the project, construction and use of the building.

Under the Classification of composite panel, Parklex Facade falls under Class 0 – permitted for use on external walls under Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) fire code. In addition, Parklex Façade is also tested according to the European standard EN 13.501 regarding reaction to fire, obtaining the best results possible for organic materials.
