Façade cladding is much more than just an exterior covering: it is the business card of your home, the element that defines its character and elegance. Today, cladding trends are evolving towards greater durability, aesthetics, and customization. Discover the new directions shaping the future of our façades.
Colors that revolutionize our exteriors
A return to natural and soothing tones
Soft and natural shades dominate the market. The white cerused tone from our Atmosphere 175 range is increasingly popular, bringing brightness and elegance to contemporary façades. Light brown and sun brown tones offer a subtle warmth that fits perfectly in all environments.
Façades are now dressed in colors directly inspired by nature: pebble gray, sand beige, warm browns, and bright whites. These neutral tones, whether intense or delicate, harmonize with all types of settings, urban or rural.
Bold contrasts for dynamic façades
The use of contrasting colors is gaining ground, notably the combination of anthracite gray with lighter tones to create graphic and structured façades. These combinations highlight architectural features and add depth to the overall building.
For those seeking more character, warm colors are emerging, such as sun brown in our Atmosphere 175 range. They add a touch of friendliness and modernity, while remaining sober and easy to pair with other materials.
Textures that transform the appearance of your façade
Brushed texture, a sign of character
Our brushed finish, available across our entire cladding range, continues to captivate with its ability to highlight the nuances of composite wood and create a play of shadow and light that evolves throughout the day.
Currently, the trend is towards finishes that evoke raw wood while offering the durability and ease of maintenance unique to composite. These textures bring authenticity and warmth to the building envelope.
The graphic slatted cladding
Slatted claddings, highly appreciated for their graphic elegance, allow for playing with light and creating subtle relief effects. Our Atmosphere slatted range fits perfectly into this trend, offering a clean aesthetic that visually structures the façade.
The combination of materials
The trend is to combine composite wood with other materials such as aluminum or glass to create mixed façades with strong personality. Our slatted cladding is particularly well-suited for these combinations, allowing plays on transparency and volume.
Styles that reflect new aspirations
Sustainable minimalism
The minimalist aesthetic remains current but is enriched by an ecological dimension. Our Atmosphere 175 cladding, with its clean lines and durable materials (composed of 61% wood fibers and 32% recycled polyethylene), perfectly meets this quest for simple yet environmentally respectful design.
Simple façades emphasize the quality of materials rather than superfluous ornaments, creating elegant spaces that transcend trends.
Biophilic style to reconnect with nature
Biophilic architecture, which aims to strengthen our connection with nature, is becoming a major trend. Our composite wood claddings, with their textures and tones inspired by natural wood, help create this connection while offering superior durability compared to traditional materials.
Personalization as self-expression
Gone are the days of uniform façades! Personalization is at the heart of current cladding projects. Mixed installations combining horizontal and vertical placement, or alternating different board widths, allow for unique and expressive façades.
Creativity is also expressed through the integration of accessories and architectural details that personalize each project, making every façade unique.
Innovation serving durability
Resistance to extreme weather conditions becomes an essential criterion in choosing façade materials. Our co-extrusion technology, which wraps the composite core with a thin protective film, offers increased resistance to UV rays, temperature variations, and humidity, ensuring the longevity of your investment.
Ecological, recycled, and high-performance energy materials are now favored to meet environmental challenges. Silvadec composite wood, made from recycled materials and designed to last, fully embraces this responsible approach.
Towards smart and evolving façades
Modularity and adaptability become major assets. Our cladding systems, easy to install and replace, allow you to evolve the look of your façade over time and trends, without heavy work.
In summary, façade cladding trends favor:
- Natural and warm colors (anthracite gray, beige, brown, white cerused, ochre, terracotta)
- Brushed textures, raw wood effect, and graphic slatted cladding
- Minimalist, durable, and customizable styles
Currently, façade cladding is no longer just an aesthetic choice but a true commitment to durability and well-being. At Silvadec, we are proud to offer solutions that meet these new aspirations, with a complete range of composite wood façade cladding combining beauty, performance, and environmental respect.
