If you are looking at Tipwood for a facade or Thermowood for a ceiling, you need to consider the direct sunlight and moisture levels. We have found that while these materials are incredibly robust, they require specific framework and sealing to truly last the decade. Let’s look at which profile actually works best for your home's unique layout. ### Choosing the Right Material for Your Facade Not every 'wood' is made for the outdoors. We have spent two decades testing materials against Kolkata's intense heat and heavy monsoons. Here is why we stick to these specific choices: * **Tipwood:** This is our go-to for low-maintenance facade cladding. It is a composite timber that resists termites and doesn't rot, making it perfect for elevations that see direct rain. It is designed to be 'built to last' without the annual oiling or painting cycle. * **Thermowood:** We use this when aesthetics are the priority. Through thermal modification, the wood becomes dimensionally stable—meaning it won't warp or shrink as much as natural timber when the humidity spikes. It gives you that rich, natural finish for ceilings or semi-outdoor spaces. * **Weathertex:** For areas that need flexibility, such as curved walls or intricate perforated screens, this sustainable wood panel is our choice. It holds paint well and can be cut into complex patterns without losing structural integrity. ### Practical Maintenance While these materials are engineered to perform, they aren't 'set and forget'. We ensure every installation includes proper silicone sealant application at the joints to prevent water ingress. If you are concerned about long-term care, our systems come with a 10-year warranty, covering you against the common issues like cracking or termite attacks. If you have an existing structure that is aging poorly, we can help you integrate these new surfaces to upgrade the look and the protection simultaneously. ## About Designer Home & Landscapes We have spent two decades watching how our weather treats different surfaces.
