Frequently asked questions
Can the facade be fireproofed? | |
Yes, we have different solutions to achieve SP-Fire 105 (facade testing). Södra's fireproofed wood has two different names, C260 for indoor use and outdoor use if the wood is painted over, and C260 Xterior for outdoor use where the wood can be left untreated. Our fireproofed wood can also be painted in any colour while meeting fire protection requirements for various uses. | |
Can the facade be stained? | |
Yes, we offer our Signati® treatment, which is a unique water-based staining where good penetration ability is combined with a weather-resistant, mineral-reinforced surface layer. This reinforcement provides non-stickiness, enhancement of colour, durability and good dirt-repellence. Signati can be used for all our wood types and works well on both pressure-treated and heat-treated wood. Only two coats are required to achieve maximum effect. | |
Do you offer heat-treated wood? | |
Yes, we call our heat-treated wood Decori, which means decoration. All our wood types can be heat-treated, lending the panel dimensionally stability and weather resistance. With heat-treated wood from Södra, you avoid problems with shape changes in the wood: the wood is not affected by the temperature changes that normally cause it to swell or shrink. Therefore, this product is suitable for surfaces exposed to weather, such as facades, decks, and terraces. |
