Material and use
The Rockpanel Natural boards are produced from compressed natural basalt, a sustainable and readily available volcanic rock and bonded with an organic binder from which all Rockpanel products derive their unique properties. The products combine the advantages of stone and workability wood.
The cladding boards are suitable for use as exterior cladding, applications along the roofline and for building detailing.
Rockpanel Natural weathers and changes colour through exposure to natural elements such as UV light, wind, rain and the surrounding environment, for example trees in the immediate area.
Examples of natural weathering are:
Rockpanel Natural combines the natural appeal of wood with a number of additional benefits such as high dimension stability and water resistance.
For a perfect final result with Rockpanel Natural it is important to work carefully during application and in detailing. Bear in mind the following points:
