Carmo Wood presents a new generation of wooden façades for a more sustainable architecture

Carmo Wood, a leader in the treated wood sector, continues to diversify its portfolio of products and solutions for sustainable architecture and is now presenting a new line of wooden façades with different innovative solutions that combine design, precision engineering, technology and sustainability. Inspired by international trends, where wood is being responsible for transforming the urban landscape, the company is launching a new portfolio of six types of façade panels, available in different wood species and a multitude of colour finishes.
With several projects currently underway in France, where the wood façade cladding business already represents more than 2 million euros for Carmo Wood, the company has been introducing these new technologically advanced, resistant and distinctively designed solutions to the domestic market.

‘We want to expand our presence in these two strategic markets and provoke Portuguese engineers and architects. The use of wood in façades has been growing in Europe, driven by its ecological credentials and the evolution of treatment and finishing processes, and is conquering the most daring façades in Europe,’ explains João Figueiredo, CEO of Carmo Wood Engineering. ’Carmo Wood wants to bring this aesthetic revolution to Portugal and challenge these professionals to embrace the new materials. There are wooden façades that are authentic pieces of structural engineering and design. These façades are not just beautiful – they are true machines of energy efficiency, design and innovation.’
Carmo Wood solutions include modular panels with high-precision fitting, ventilated systems that breathe with the building, solutions that combine wood with metal and glass creating visual and thermal contrasts as well as technologically modified materials to guarantee superior resistance and low maintenance. These solutions play an essential role in both construction and urban regeneration, offering a sustainable and innovative alternative for the renovation of buildings and urban spaces.

Engineering and aesthetics in harmony
Carmo Wood façade systems are available in different wood species and finishes, including customised options with any RAL colour and different application systems. This flexibility allows architects and engineers to adapt Carmo Wood solutions to the specific needs of each project, guaranteeing a unique and authentic result.
The new range includes, for example, options such as carbonised wood, treated using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban process, which gives it natural protection against fire, insects and climatic agents. Other solutions include thermo-modified wood, which is subjected to high temperatures without chemical additives, guaranteeing greater dimensional stability and resistance to weathering.
The panels are designed to fit together quickly and precisely, adapting to both urban renovation and refurbishment projects and new builds. In addition to their architectural versatility, these façades increase the energy efficiency of buildings, reducing energy consumption and improving thermal comfort.
‘We believe that wood is the answer to more efficient, sustainable and innovative architecture. These façades represent a qualitative leap in the construction sector, combining engineering and design with the natural advantages of wood,’ he says.
