Black cladding for a luxurious and contemporary look

Vertical black cladding

For a compelling and luxurious look, black vertical cladding is also a beautiful option. Koningslaan apartment complex in Rotterdam, The Netherlands is a great example of how this installation technique can be achieved.

“Basically, all the interventions we used are quite simple in itself: connected balconies, masonry parts interspersed with a lot of glass and Rockpanel Colours facade boards. But once it’s all brought together, the building as a whole becomes very powerful and interesting to look at,” says architect Niels de Vries of architect firm ZAAK VAN NN.

Black wood cladding: create a warm atmosphere

To give your black facade a warm and welcoming look, you can opt for wood-look cladding. A black facade with a wooden look retains the same stylish effect but also creates a warm, organic and rustic atmosphere. 

Rockpanel proves that wood-like black cladding does not have to be made from real wood. Rockpanel Woods combines the authentic and warm look and feel of wood and with the durability, robustness and fire safety of stone. The Black Oak design of the Rockpanel Woods series is therefore the perfect choice for black wood cladding. 

Maintenance-friendly and colourfast

Naturally, you also want to preserve the beautiful deep colour of your black facade. Dark colours can warm up a lot in summer, causing cracks or damage. In addition, the colour can fade in the sun, changing the whole look of a building or home.

A building with black Rockpanel facade cladding retains its original appearance in the long run. All cladding panels are finished with a high-quality water-based coating. This coating protects the panels against UV radiation, dirt and weather influences and ensures optimal colour fastness. As a result, your black facade stays beautiful for a very long time and requires hardly any maintenance.
