Chapter 1: Selecting the right type of wood
1.1 Considering the room conditions
Choose a type of wood that meets the specific conditions of the room. For example, woods with natural resistance to moisture are suitable for damp rooms such as bathrooms.

Consider the desired aesthetic effect. Light woods such as maple or birch create an airy atmosphere, while darker woods such as walnut or mahogany create a cozy and luxurious aura.

Make sure that the surface for the wall cladding is clean, even and dry. Smooth surfaces ensure easy and safe installation.

Chapter 3: Care and cleaning
3.1 Regular cleaning
Dust the wooden wall cladding regularly to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt. Use a soft feather duster or a slightly damp cloth for this purpose.
