A wood-look facade has always been associated with warmth, comfort, and natural aesthetics. However, natural wood on façades requires constant maintenance, regular painting, and protection from moisture and temperature changes. The WOOD collection of flexible stone tiles by KORDEKO offers the visual effect of natural wood without its drawbacks — no rotting, cracking, or repainting.
Why natural wood is problematic on façades
Despite its beauty, real wood on exterior walls has serious limitations:
absorbs moisture and swells
cracks and warps due to temperature changes
requires regular painting, oils, or varnishes
is vulnerable to fungi, mold, and insects
has a limited service life without constant care
For insulated façades, these issues become even more critical, as moisture penetration and deformation can damage the entire facade system.
What is the WOOD collection by KORDEKO?
The WOOD collection is a series of flexible stone tiles that accurately reproduce the texture, grain, and color of natural wood, while being based on PletaFlex technology.
Material characteristics:
realistic wood texture and depth
flexible and lightweight
suitable for insulated façades
resistant to moisture, frost, and UV radiation
installed directly on reinforced insulation layers
Visually, the façade looks like real wood, but technically it performs like a durable stone material.
Ideal solution for insulated façades
WOOD flexible tiles are installed as part of a classic insulated façade system:
Load-bearing wall
Adhesive
Insulation (EPS or mineral wool)
Reinforced base coat with fiberglass mesh
Primer
WOOD flexible stone tiles
❗ No ventilated gaps, metal substructures, or additional load-bearing systems are required.
Key advantages of a wood-look facade without painting
✔ No repainting or maintenance
The surface does not require periodic painting, oiling, or varnishing.
✔ Resistance to moisture and rot
Unlike natural wood, the material does not absorb water and does not rot.
✔ No cracking or deformation
Withstands temperature fluctuations without warping or splitting.
✔ Lightweight construction
Does not overload walls or insulation layers.
✔ Fast installation
Installed significantly faster than wooden cladding systems.
✔ Realistic aesthetics
Natural wood grain and texture are visually indistinguishable from real boards.
