Douglas fir instantly brings a different atmosphere to a space. The warm tone, lively grain pattern and natural appearance give a wall more depth, without looking heavy. At the same time, this wood variety is easy to match to a wide range of interiors. Combined with the invisible Grad® fixing system, you get a wall solution that not only looks beautiful, but is also quickly and neatly installed.
Sometimes a single wall is enough to give a space more calm, texture and cohesion. Douglas fir lends itself perfectly to this.
Douglas fir is an interesting choice for wall panelling with character and plenty of freedom in finishing. The warm base colour and fine grain pattern already give the wall a great deal of appeal naturally.
Douglas fir is one of the most sustainable softwood varieties, with a high natural durability class. Carpentier works exclusively with douglas fir from responsibly managed forests.
The wood variety is widely applicable, easy to process and lends itself excellently to various finishing techniques, from natural and brushed to charred or coloured made to measure.
Douglas fir wall panelling instantly gives a space more depth and warmth. The lively grain pattern creates an appearance you cannot imitate.
Colour provides the finishing touch in any interior. Together with trend studio Francq Colors, we have developed beautiful trend colours for indoors. Discover colours that are perfectly suited to the finish of our feature timber profiles for walls and ceilings.
Opt for warm earthy tones such as Terra or Almond, go for green with Forest or Lake, choose the deep grey shade Elephant or take a chance on the bold Rose Red. Let yourself be inspired!
When choosing a colour, it is essential to keep the overall picture in mind. Always check whether a particular shade matches the other colours in the room and whether it fits within the whole. In our showroom, our wood specialists are happy to help you think it through.
Want to work quickly, neatly and efficiently? Then the smart Grad® system offers great added value when installing timber cladding. This concealed fixing system is perfectly matched to our QuickClip® profiles and makes installation considerably easier.
The clips are positioned in advance at the correct spacing on the aluminium joists. You then simply click the timber boards into place. This way you save time on site, work with great precision and also cut installation costs.
QuickClip® also makes the cladding removable. Using dismantling keys, you simply unclip the timber battens without damaging the profile. So you opt for a solution that combines ease of use, a neat finish and circularity.
With vertical wall cladding, timber boards can shift slightly along the clips under their own weight. On site this is sometimes solved with glue, but doing so removes one of the key benefits of the QuickClip® system: its demountability.
That is why we recommend the Grad® clip grip. It holds the boards firmly on the aluminium rail, while still allowing you to release them easily later on. This way the circular character of the system is preserved. To prevent shifting, one clip grip per groove per board is enough.
Do you need to work behind the wall later, make an adjustment or refresh the cladding? Then simply click the boards loose again using the dismantling keys. Quick, neat and without any damage.
This wall panelling is also perfectly suited to a charred finish. Let yourself be inspired by projects where the charred wood wall lends a distinctive character to the interior and flows beautifully into the façade cladding.
