Brushing prepares the surface for coating and defines the final look of wood cladding.
It removes machining fibres, opens the wood grain, and creates texture when needed. This directly affects how coatings are absorbed and how the product performs outdoors.
For facade wood, appearance is critical. Differences between boards are immediately visible once installed.
Because wood cladding is exposed to weather, surface preparation is also essential for durability. Poor brushing can lead to coating issues or reduced lifespan.
At the same time, cladding is often produced in long runs and high volumes. The brushing process needs to stay consistent, even at higher speeds.
A well-controlled brushing setup ensures that every board is treated the same, without slowing down production.
