Facades with the appearance of wood without wood

Fasades with a wooden appearance are currently in high demand. However, their realization using wooden cladding is less preferred due to high costs, complex installation, and demanding maintenance. An effective solution for creating an authentic wooden look on external insulation systems is StoCleyer W cladding strips.


Watch our short video to see how easily an authentic wooden appearance can be achieved on a facade using StoCleyer W cladding strips.

Facade cladding elements StoCleyer W simply need to be glued onto the insulation system and painted in the desired color shade. They require no additional maintenance, and you can have them in a wide range of color patterns. The result is an authentically looking wooden facade that was realized quickly, cost-effectively, and without the need for further maintenance.

Greater flexibility in planning

You can make the decision to clad the facade with StoCleyer W material in a short time, as the way in which the external insulation system can be executed remains unchanged up to the base layer.
The cladding elements also create significant space for creative facade design – from creating specific highlighted areas to full-surface use for an authentic wooden house appearance.

StoCleyer W cladding strips can be very well combined with other surface finishes on Sto insulation systems, such as creative StoSignature plasters, StoBrick clinker cladding, or three-dimensional facade elements StoDeco.

Application of cladding strips is also easier and safer

As part of the external insulation system, facade cladding elements are glued in place quickly and securely and meet all building code requirements. In the case of prefabricated construction, the elements can also be easily processed in the manufacturing plant. In addition to polystyrene, you can also use insulation boards or strips made of mineral wool for insulating the house.
