Dutch Wood® (Staatsbosbeheer) has developed an outdoor collection of Larch facade cladding in collaboration with Natuurlijk Hout. Larch Dutch Wood® comes from the Dutch forests of Staatsbosbeheer. It has good natural durability and can be finished with various paint systems. The FSC® certified cladding from the Hollands Hout® Outdoor Collection comes from Staatsbosbeheer forests and is made of sapwood-free larch. The cladding panels have been optimized for quality using a KOMO-certified finger-jointing process, ensuring good dimensional stability. As a result, the larch cladding can be supplied in a number of fixed lengths up to 610 cm. A finish with special KEIM paint is also possible. This paint contains no chemical ingredients, is color-stable and UV-resistant, allowing maintenance to be postponed for a long time. Available in all RAL colors in an opaque finish; six selected colors are available in transparent. Hollands Hout® Larch has been tested in End-Use for Fire Class D in both open and closed constructions, giving you great design freedom.
Our forests where we walk and cycle daily. The sensible harvesting under the management of Staatsbosbeheer ensures that future generations can make endless use of this renewable raw material. The policy is that more wood grows in our forests than is harvested, with the result that the volume of wood in Dutch forests increases every year.

| Suitable for | Facade cladding, load-bearing and non-load-bearing structures, frames, windows, doors. Scaffolding poles, rafters, trusses and waterworks. |
| To edit | Larch can be sawed and planed reasonably well. |
Larch can be sawn and planed reasonably well. Sharp tools are required to finish the soft spring wood smoothly. Because it can be resinous, resin can stick to saws or chisels when working wet wood.
For facade cladding we have the most common profiles of this Dutch wood type in stock. All profiles have a finely sawn visible side for better paint adhesion and longer life. Available finger jointed lengths are: 355, 405, 505 and 610 cm.

Larch cladding has a unique and natural appearance. Larch Dutch Wood® cladding can also be finished with various paint systems. For facade projects with a fire class requirement of D, Larch Dutch Wood® can be finished with a paint system from KEIM. The combination of Larch Dutch Wood® and KEIM's natural mineral paint has been tested in End-Use; the classification report will be available shortly. Other paint systems are also being tested and will be available soon.
KEIM paints meet requirements in terms of aesthetics, health and also building physics. The binder potassium silicate allows light rays to fall directly on the colour pigment, resulting in an astonishing depth and shine. The colour shades radiate directly from the velvety matt surface with absolute colour stability. This is how KEIM facades remain unchanged for decades. KEIM paints are Cradle to Cradle Silver certified, and even Gold certified for the Material Health component.
In 2013, KEIM was the first to launch a silicate coating for the organic substrate wood. The disadvantage of conventional coatings for wood is the limited lifespan of only about three to seven years. Renovation work is laborious and expensive. KEIM has succeeded in transferring the principle of silicate paint to wood – with reliable, long-lasting protection against weather influences, UV light and moisture. The labor and material costs of a subsequent renovation are much lower.
