Natural wood is timeless and versatile and has been used for centuries to beautify and protect facades.
With its inherent beauty, warmth and closeness to nature, wood gives every facade a unique character and creates a harmonious connection between the built environment and the surrounding landscape.
The use of natural wood for facades offers numerous advantages, ranging from aesthetics to sustainability.
The different grains, textures and color tones of the different types of wood contribute to an impressive facade that evolves gracefully over time and develops a special patina that tells the story of the building.
Wherever possible, we source our wood from Austria, the DACH region and neighboring European countries. The carbonized larch – our bestseller – even comes exclusively from Austrian sawmills! All of Ennobled’s wood comes from sustainable forestry. This is guaranteed by internationally recognized certificates such as FSC and PEFC.
When procuring wood at the sawmill, we pay attention to characteristics such as the origin and quality of the wood, the cut of the wooden boards and certain wood properties, such as knottiness.
Using our traditional, vertical deep-charring process, our woods are carbonised with pure flame according to the Japanese Yakisugi method, resulting in extremely resistant, durable wood products with a unique, black charred surface structure which, thanks to its exclusive character, is also compared to alligator skin, silk wood or leather.
If you opt for the refined style, the already carbonised wood is then carefully brushed by hand and refined using a special process so that the grain and structure are revealed under the layer of carbon. Depending on the processing and type of wood, our wood finishing creates an exclusive colour look: from elegant silver-grey to an ingenious reclaimed wood look in rustic brown tones.
