Technical Date Sheet

Iroko is characterized by its brown, yellow colour that changes with time in a soft dark brown colour. This wood species grows mainly in Tropical Africa. Iroko is a very stable type of wood that hardly distorts after it has been placed. The workability of this type of wood is good, both with machines and by hand. However, Iroko also achieves outstanding points on sustainability. The wood type belongs to the durability class 1-2. After 25 years, the wood is still in perfect condition.

Due to the extensive stock at Woodstoxx, most facade claddings are immediately available. If this 15x130 Iroko Planchet Facade Cladding is not in stock, we offer delivery within 2 to 3 weeks. A facade cladding that is placed with you by our team means that you get a 10-year warranty on this terrace.

Story Jonas, Installer facade cladding

Take it from an experienced joiner: no wall is straight. That is why a straight-lined structure is placed first when fitting wooden façade cladding. “With control screws. This is how we keep everything level. To the millimetre”
Says Jonas Allegaert. For the past four years he has specialized in finishing facades and exterior wood accents. "External joinery is always challenging. You never know what the wall looks like, and in particular how straight or crooked it is. In practice, we always work with a laser to place the structure. With or without insulation. It’s a case of being alert and doing the maths.”
“You never know what the wall looks like, and in particular how straight or crooked it is.”
As team leader Jonas has a view of all the detail relating to the finish. From modest cladding to a complete office building or apartment. "Preparation is everything. I run through what needs to be done and what needs extra attention with the project manager on a daily basis. It requires efficient organisation to make everything run smoothly.
"I prefer working with ayous. It’s a soft wood, but very stable and always perpendicular.
More to the point all wood is different. In the words of Jonas: “Some wood species are nervous." Which means that the weather and temperatures are more influential in terms of expansion. “We factor this in and use expansion joints. The clearance depends on the type of wood. "I prefer working with ayous. It’s a soft wood but very stable and always perpendicular. Padauk is also very pleasant to work with. It ages well. That’s how I prefer it.”
