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.

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.

When it comes to application, Parklex^® Façade sets no boundaries for creativity by offering a variety of finishes and colours in natural and dyed panels; in 2440 x 1220mm format with thickness between 6mm and 22mm. These set Parklex^® apart as a result of its versatility, making it the ideal covering for any type of project.

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.

Used by world-renowned architects and designers, Parklex^® Façade is the best choice of material for any project where wood is the architecture.
