Rockpanel Natural

The true beauty of a facade is sometimes quite puristic. Be brave – let the sun, wind and rain play their part. Without applying paint or surface sealer, Rockpanel Natural allows the elements to take an active role in your facade.

Your building fits organically into its surroundings, in an interactive way from day one. When you're looking for a unique and innovative facade, Rockpanel Natural might just be exactly what you need.

Rockpanel Natural has quite an extraordinary feature: the boards change under the effects of the weather. The fresh yellowish green colour scheme turns into a velvety, slightly sparkling brownish red surface over time. The effect is similar to the way wood takes on a patina under the effects of the weather.
