The Forestlines by Paulussen is the next best thing in wooden cladding.
An intelligent aluminum extrusion profile was coupled to an untreated wooden batten.
In this way, every type of wood is optimized in its fire reaction class, even some go up to the fire reaction class B, which basic science says is considered impossible.
No pre- or post-treatment is required, as we only work with untreated wood.

The aluminum shields the vulnerable substructure, acts as a fire barrier against fire spread (as you know them in the woods), etc.
