The Scandinavian building materials market can now order pre-painted exterior cladding boards from SCA Timber’s painting facility in Stugun.

The Façade Panel product, made of dry split, planed dense northern spruce, is primed and can be coated with an intermediate coat of alkyd or acrylic-based topcoat, with final coats then added after installation.

SCA said the product had quality advantages and time savings for both the DIY secor, trade customers and house manufacturers.
