Wood-effect flat sheet, BPA dark Winchester, 2000 mm length

Wood grain gives warmth to a façade, garage or soffit. Wood-effect sheet achieves this with a decorative surface on steel. The grain gives cladding a more domestic character while the metal retains its usual forming properties. It is an option where you want a timber appearance with less of the upkeep associated with natural boards. A small area can stand out against a light-coloured house.

A decorative coating changes how a metal component looks. A soffit or garage wall can pick up the colour of wood-effect windows and complement light render and garden greenery. Even a small section can link the working areas of the property to the house without covering the whole façade. Shade and grain direction affect the proportions you see, and ribs change the way light falls on the surface.

The steel base needs none of the periodic preservative treatment common with wood. The coating still needs care suited to the product and its exposure, but there are no natural fibres to refinish or swell as moisture changes. This makes it easier to keep hard-to-reach soffits looking tidy. Whereas each timber board is unique, the more regular grain on sheet metal suits large areas designed around a repeated detail.

Grain can tie metal cladding to windows and doors in similar shades.

A factory finish supplies the decoration without painting bare sheet on site.

Lightweight sheets are convenient for screens and trims mounted high above ground.

Choose the profile to vary the visual spacing while retaining the same grain pattern.

Depending on the intended use of the profile, wood-effect sheet can be used on soffits, garage walls, screens and other features. It can connect a carport visually to the house or soften a plain garage. The grain can be used wherever low weight and formability are also helpful. Owners get a decorative surface that suits everyday buildings, and installers can finish the edges much as they would on other sheet-metal products.
