Royale Cladding

pre-finish, high performance timber cladding

Introduction


The Osmose Royale Process was originally developed as a drying medium for timber.

A blend of mineral and vegetable oils were used under heat and vacuum to remove moisture from wet timber. It was discovered that timber dried by this process benefited from some new unique properties which enhanced its performance.

The process has been refined and developed further by Osmose and is now commercially available in several European countries.

The timber product which is created by the Royale process is a new, stabililised building material with many added value opportunities for the timber cladding, and pre-stain decorative timber market sectors. The Osmose timber treatment gives softwoods the typical properties of hardwood enabling them to be used in typical hardwood applications, by increasing water resistance and stability.
