Cladding that ages well

Untreated larch turns silver within two winters and then stays that way. Falu red is a mineral paint that chalks slowly and is repainted every ten to twelve years. Charred larch is burnt and brushed, so the surface is already as weathered as it will get.

Standing-seam aluminium is the one that needs nothing at all. It wraps walls and roof in one skin, which is why it is offered on the smaller houses only.
