Wood paneling is mainly used for interior decorative cladding of walls, partitions and ceilings.
Beyond their ease and speed of implementation, wood-based panels play a role:
- Aesthetics (finishes, aspects, direction and type of installation).
- Functional (renovation and thermal insulation).
- Comfort: combined with interior insulation, they improve the energy performance of the room.
The paneling also contributs to a significant improvement in sound comfort.
SFC has developed numerous characterization methods to verify the conformity of wood-based paneling products.
