Facades made of exotic wood, larch and cedar
Larch
Larch has a light, reddish brown colour and clear growth rings. Larch is very resinous, which makes the wood harder than other light wood species.
The light and modern expression along with the expectation of a long durability has made larch very popular over the last few years.
Larch is a light wood species, which is comparable to other light wood species such as e.g. spruce and pine, and therefore it should be treated with a wood preservative against rot and fungi.
GORI cannot guarantee against black mould attacks and/or peeling on larch, as this is caused by the quality of the wood and not the surface treatment.
New, untreated larch
Clean the wood. Leave to take effect 1-5 days. Scrub with a brush and then rinse with water.

Cedar
Cedar has a beautiful, golden colour, and is especially used for cladding or small buildings such as garages and carports.
Just as other noble wood species, cedar is naturally protected against rot and fungi. Many people therefore do not apply any surface treatment on cedar.

Nobel Wood Species
Noble wood is the common term for exotic wood species such as teak, mahogany, merbau and nyatoh. A lot of furniture is made from noble wood, but also windows, doors and cladding can be made of mahogany, teak and similar wood species.
The various noble wood species are very hard and contain natural oils. This means that they are not very absorbent. The noble wood species are also equipped by nature with protection against rot and fungi, which is why these wood species do not need treatment with a wood preservative.
