LUNAWOOD COLLECTION : ARCHITECTURAL BATTEN-STYLE CLADDING MADE SIMPLER

Our acclaimed Lunawood Collection creates beautiful and intricate ‘ batten ’ style cladding through the Luna Triple and Luna Trio profiles , but simpler , more cost-effective and more sustainable .
Russwood have proudly partnered with Finnish timber experts Lunawood to offer the Lunawood Collection , a new range of contemporary timber cladding . Lunawood Collection is a portfolio of external and internal cladding products combining Scandinavian design , innovative chemical-free thermal modification and sustainability-led purpose . The collection features five distinct tongue and groove profiles , comprising Luna Panel System , Luna Triple and Luna Trio , as well as an open rainscreen option . With batten-style cladding becoming exceedingly popular with Architects and Interior Designers , Luna Triple and Luna Trio profiles have proven to be most popular so far .
The Luna Triple and Trio achieve a sophisticated and modern batten-style appearance with both the simplicity and cost-effective nature of a tongue and groove board . Both profiles have two deep grooves on the board , achieving the intricacy and architectural structure of narrow boards whilst eradicating the slower pace of installation .
The Triple and Trio are also ideal in interior applications . The all-natural , non-toxic advantages of the Lunawood Collection make it perfect for interior self-build use . Interior timber cladding is a great way to create a cosy , luxurious space , combined with the acoustic properties of timber to reduce noise .
The Lunawood Collection is also technically advanced . Thermally modified at 212 º C using heat and steam , the process develops extreme dimensional stability and durability in the timber . This vastly increases the product life cycle , making it more ecological over time . Further , both Luna Panel System and Triple are approved for the use of Burnblock ® fire retardant treatment , which is 100 % natural , 100 % biodegradable , pH-neutral and achieves fire classification up to Euroclass B- s1 , d0 .
As a PEFC certified company , sustainability is at the core of Russwood ’ s purpose . The Lunawood Collection is PEFC certified , ensuring the chain of custody is meticulously controlled . The thermal modification process produces a timber which acts as a long-term storage point of CO 2
, with minimal environmental impact compared to non-renewable materials , chemically treated wood and tropical hardwoods .
