Quality Sikkens Rubbol for wooden facade

Hello,

we are starting construction in the fall and are currently considering switching from a plaster facade to a wooden facade at the last minute because we actually like it.

We are building with a prefabricated house company that gets its wood for the exterior facade from Ladenburger and they treat the wood beforehand. This means everything will probably be industrially pre-treated and delivered to our construction site. Therefore, painting it ourselves or choosing the paint manufacturer is not possible.

Now we are wondering about the quality of the paint?

Hence my question. How is the quality of the paint Sikkens Rubbol?

Can we safely choose the wooden facade with this paint and also safely repaint, refresh, etc. later? We are probably going in the direction of RAL 5014 pigeon blue for the color.

We really don’t want the paint to lose intensity quickly, peel off quickly, be bad for further coats, etc.

Since we really have to decide quickly here (the facade must be ordered by the weekend, otherwise the installation date cannot be kept), I would appreciate some quick feedback.

Best regards

I also used facade wood from Ladenburger (Trendliner Kontrast), but untreated. Here, the meter costs 1.79 euros, which amounts to about 22 euros per square meter. The profiles can also be purchased pre-treated (painted or with a black contrast tongue), which disproportionately increases the price. The contrast tongue, for example, then already costs 2.99 euros per meter. I didn't even ask about painted anymore. However, I know that different treatments can be used and would recommend oil glaze instead of paint. This does not crack or peel, and in case of renovation, you can simply paint over it without having to sand first. So I would ask around; Ladenburger also offers wood oil treatment, which is also mentioned on their website. However, I did not use this wood oil but bought untreated profiles and glazed them myself (Osmo wood protection oil glaze). Therefore, I cannot say anything about the quality of the wood oil brand used by Ladenburger (Koralan).

You mean then take the [Öllasur] and paint it yourself afterwards? Because we would really like to have a blue facade....

A facade treated with wood oil requires shorter maintenance intervals, right? At least, that's what I just read a little bit on the internet.....

So the oil glaze I used, according to the manufacturer, lasts forever because nothing chips or peels off and this glaze is UV-stable. I also know that this glaze is available in 2000 NCS colors, including blue. I cannot say anything about the glaze (or wood oil?) used by Ladenburger, but Ladenburger does have an info phone line. I found doing it myself much better because it is significantly cheaper. The work is also manageable, which cannot be said for making the black contrast feather (20 min. per 4 m board...). Ordering raw and painting later is not ideal because the wood should/must also be treated on the back side. But if you have the opportunity to glaze yourself, I would do it. With pure paint, after a few years you end up having to renovate. The oil glaze forms a proper film; it feels like a kind of varnish (with a double coat on the visible side), but it penetrates the pores and is flexible. It also looks nice.
