The profile at a glance
The BALIK profile belongs to the Dartank thermally modified pine cladding family. Every one of our references is made from Scandinavian pine thermally modified at 200 °C, with no chemical products whatsoever. The wood fibre is modified right through — high dimensional stability, increased resistance to fungi and insects.
Ventilated installation — the essential rules
Fixed onto vertical or horizontal battens, with a breather membrane mandatory behind and a ventilated air gap of at least 20 mm. Fixings in A2 stainless steel (A4 by the sea) — Torx screws with a reduced countersunk head, or concealed clips depending on the profile.
Compliant with the requirements of DTU 41.2 (the French standard for exterior timber cladding).
Natural silver-grey patina
Left untreated, thermally modified pine turns a natural silver-grey within 8 to 18 months — a look much sought after in contemporary architecture. With a saturating oil applied every 2 to 4 years, the original brown tone is preserved.

An air gap of at least 20 to 25 mm between the breather membrane and the cladding. It is essential for moisture to escape — without it the timber will rot, even thermally modified.
Not necessarily. Left untreated, thermally modified pine turns a natural silver grey within 8 to 18 months — a look much sought after in contemporary architecture. With a saturating oil (every 2-4 years), the brown tone is preserved.
