Advantages and disadvantages of wood
- Natural character
- Warm appearance
- Regular treatment needed

Composite: budget-friendly, but less durable
Composite wall panels are light and easy to install, often chosen for renovations. The short lifespan of the material makes it less suitable for permanent applications.

- Many colours possible
- Discolours over time
- Less longevity
