SCA Cladding shingles

Our cladding shingles are available in heat-treated northern contorta and heartwood from northern Swedish pine. The shingles are wedge-shaped, ranging from 5 to 18 mm from the thinnest to the thickest edge, and are available in widths from 70 to 200 mm.

The heat treatment ensures the shingles maintain their shape. Heat-treated shingles are warm brown upon delivery and gracefully turn gray over time. When correctly installed, they have a long lifespan without added chemicals.

• The shingles are made from 100% sound knot-sorted pine from environmentally certified forestry.
• Heat-treated wood, through the ThermoWood® process, has a very low moisture content and absorbs less moisture than regular wood, increasing shape stability by up to 50%, which minimizes shingle warping.
• ThermoWood® facade shingles are a warm brown upon delivery and gradually develop a beautiful gray patina over time. The brown color is solely due to the heat treatment, with no added dyes.
• The ThermoWood® treatment makes the wood evenly colored, allowing for easy processing or splitting without noticeable color variations.
• Properly installed facade shingles have a long lifespan without added chemicals, as the heat treatment removes the wood’s nutrients, making it difficult for rot and fungi to take hold and grow.
• Heat-treated shingles can be oiled or painted like a regular wood panel if desired.
• ThermoWood® can be delivered with fire protection class B-S1,d0 if required.
• Heat-treated wood is brittle; pre-drilling is recommended during installation.
• Fastening should be done with stainless acid-resistant (A4) screws.

• Heartwood pine is sourced from the hardest and innermost core of slow-growing pines.
• Heartwood pine facade shingles are naturally pine-colored upon delivery and gradually develop a beautiful silver-gray patina over time.
• Properly installed facade shingles have a long lifespan without added chemicals, as heartwood pine contains high levels of resin and tannin, making it resistant to rot and fungi.
• Heartwood pine shingles can be oiled or painted like a regular wood panel if desired.
• Heartwood pine can be delivered with fire protection class B-S1,d0 if required.
• Fastening should be done with stainless acid-resistant ring shank nails in corrosion resistance class A4.

A wood shingle facade made from SCA's northern Swedish raw material is long-lasting. Depending on placement, installation, and surface maintenance, the wall shingles can last over 50 years. Shingle facades that start close to the ground have a shorter lifespan, as they are more susceptible to rot, and the lower layers should be designed for easy replacement
