Preservative treatment

Not required.

NORclad Brunnea™.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Provides a 30 year warranty against rot and fungal decay.
  • The treatment process enables the timber to hold colour longer, requiring little or no maintenance.

NORclad Lite™.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Offers a 30 year warranty against rot and fungal decay.
  • Does not contain a pigment and therefore upon exposure to UV light the colour will enrich before beginning to naturally weather to a silver/ grey over time.
  • Little or no maintenance required long term.
