Create a unique look
You can mix and match THOR Torrefied Wood™ cladding with pre-finished white cedar shingles, or why not pair wood with another natural material such as stone?
When it comes to finishing, consider mouldings. They will enhance your home's details and make it truly unique. Depending on your taste, mouldings can be of the same or another colour as your cladding. If you opt for a different colour, favour those in the same family of colours but in a few shades lighter or darker. A paler shade will create an impression of grandeur while a darker shade will produce the opposite effect, which can be desirable with an oversized wall or to emphasize certain architectural details.
Choosing your colours
Choosing a colour always comes down to a question of taste and perception. So it will be your personality more than anything else that expresses itself through the shades and shapes you choose.
A few things to keep in mind when making your choice:
- Walk around the local area and take a close look at your surroundings. Even if your home is unique, it should complement your near neighbours and the landscape.
- The colours of your home's roof, stone or brickwork should complement those of your cladding.
- If your home is in a wooded area, favour shades of brown or green. Dark colours that are not directly exposed to the sun will retain their lustre much longer.
- If your home receives direct sunlight, yellow or white shades are ideal. The sun will enhance their inherent radiance, making your home resplendent. Keep in mind, though, that pale shades tend to dirty more quickly.
