Parklex® Façade panels can be applied as decorative cladding by combining various wood finishes and colours; an aesthetic appeal appreciated by architects from around the world. It can be installed as a ventilated façade system by allocating space between the thermal insulation, the load-bearing structure and the Parklex® Façade panel. To improve air circulation, it is also necessary for there to be openings at the base and the crown of the cladding.
