Parc Vallés
Lunawood ThermoWood® Battens play a leading role in the façade cladding of a major shopping mall located in Terrassa (Barcelona). Reus Disseny, the company responsible for the construction, has installed more than 5,500 linear meters of Luna SHP Battens measuring 42 x 68 mm, providing a modern and warm aesthetic that enhances the building’s image, creating a welcoming environment for visitors. From a technical point of view, Lunaswood battens were chosen for this project because of their excellent resistance to fungi, wood-eating insects, and harsh weather conditions.
Long-lasting and dimensionally stable Lunawood Battens are one of the best options for a wide variety of projects, including wall cladding, buildings, porches, pergolas, fences, and garden furniture. Lunawood has proven to be the perfect ally in creating spaces that combine functionality, beauty, and environmental respect.
Technical Characteristics of Lunawood
Raw material of Lunawood is certified with the prestigious PEFC® seal, ensuring that the material comes from sustainably managed forests. This patented ThermoWood® process enhances the wood’s properties using high temperatures and steam, without the need for chemicals, resulting in a completely natural and environmentally friendly material.
Some of its key technical characteristics include:
- Dimensional stability: Thanks to the thermal modification process, Lunawood resists deformation, making it ideal for exterior applications in varying climatic conditions.
- Moisture and microorganism resistance: Its low moisture content (between 4-7%) drastically reduces the risk of decay and insect infestations.
- Enhanced natural durability: Equivalent to durability class 2 or 3 woods, without requiring additional treatments.
- Lightweight: Easy to handle and install in large-scale projects like this one.
Lunawood ThermoWood® is an excellent choice for exterior cladding due to its high resistance to weathering, ensuring optimal long-term performance even under the most demanding conditions. Its ability to maintain physical and aesthetic properties over time minimizes maintenance costs, making it a sustainable solution from both an economic and environmental perspective.
