StoCast Wood Grain Facade System
StoCast Wood, distributed by Mouldex Composites, is a high-performance resin-cast facade system providing the authentic texture of natural cedar without the maintenance liabilities of real wood. This ultra-lightweight, UV-stable cladding is engineered for impact resistance and flexibility, offering a rot-proof, monolithic wood aesthetic for luxury residential and commercial building envelopes.
StoCast Wood Grain Facade System Specifications
Cast from natural wood master-molds, our panels replicate the organic grain depth and mineral variance of real cedar without the chemical instability.
The proprietary resin composition allows the panels to wrap around curved walls and columns, providing architectural continuity that rigid wood planks cannot achieve.
StoCast Wood is inherently rot-proof, insect-proof, and UV-stable, eliminating the need for the repetitive staining, sealing, or painting required by natural timber.
At a fraction of the weight of wood or fiber cement, these panels bond directly to the substrate, reducing structural load and significantly accelerating installation timelines.
StoCast Wood: Composite Grain Engineering & Facade Performance
StoCast Wood represents the next generation of architectural "wood" cladding, engineered specifically to eliminate the lifecycle costs of natural timber. Designed for the building envelope that requires a warm, organic aesthetic combined with synthetic durability, this system provides a high-performance alternative to traditional siding.
Advanced Resin Material Science
Unlike fiber cement or wood-plastic composites (WPC) that can be brittle or heavy, StoCast Wood is a resin-cast system. This material DNA provides "Material Memory," allowing the panels to remain flexible during installation while curing into a rock-hard, impact-resistant facade. The surface is non-porous, meaning it does not absorb moisture, which is the primary cause of rot and mold in natural wood systems.
Architectural Curvature & Versatility
One of the most significant engineering advantages of StoCast Wood is its flexibility. While traditional wood or metal siding is limited to flat surfaces, StoCast panels can be heated and formed to wrap around radiused walls, circular columns, and complex corner transitions. This allows for a continuous, unbroken wood grain aesthetic across the entire architectural silhouette.
Integral UV & Thermal Stability
Real cedar and thermal-treated woods suffer from "graying" and thermal movement. StoCast Wood utilized integral UV-inhibitors and mineral pigments that are locked into the resin matrix. This ensures the "Freshly Stained" look remains permanent without the need for clear-coating. Furthermore, the material is engineered for Zero-Expansion, ensuring that joints stay tight through extreme North American seasonal shifts.
High-Bond Direct Application
The StoCast system is an adhered facade. It eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners, furring strips, or air-gap spacers required by rainscreen systems. By bonding directly to the approved substrate using high-strength cementitious adhesives, it creates a monolithic building skin that is 80% lighter than standard wood siding, reducing the structural requirements for the entire wall assembly.
Architectural Synergy: Integrated Trim & Wall Systems
Our wall cladding systems are engineered to function as the primary skin of a complete architectural assembly, designed to integrate seamlessly with our exterior moulding and interior moulding collections. On the exterior, our StoneRox Masonry and StoCast Wood systems provide a durable, weather-tight field that perfectly complements our cement-coated foamcore window surrounds, sills, and cornices. Internally, our wall panels provide a sophisticated textured backdrop for our Hybrid Plaster crown mouldings and light coves, ensuring material continuity throughout the space. By selecting from our unified suite of products, architects and builders eliminate the risk of material incompatibility, instead achieving a monolithic, high-performance envelope where every component, from the trim to the cladding, shares the same lightweight, moisture-proof, and maintenance-free DNA.
