Dark Shade
Berti I-Wood Cladding – Dark Shade
Diesel Living x Berti – Available Exclusively at Mister Mann Australia. A Statement in Surface Design.
Dark Shade is more than wood cladding — it’s a bold design gesture. Crafted through the creative lens of Diesel Living and engineered by Berti, this surface treatment redefines architectural interiors with industrial edge and artistic depth. The oak veneer base is enhanced by digital water-based printing, transforming natural timber grain into a dramatic, geometric statement with tonal contrasts and layered texture.
The result? A surface that speaks both luxury and authenticity — a perfect match for interiors that lean into mood, structure, and sophisticated minimalism.
Design Meets Durability
Every panel is constructed using a three-layer engineered wood system:
- A top layer of premium oak veneer (approx. 0.6 mm), showcasing the digitally printed Dark Shade design while maintaining visible grain and tactile realism.
- A 9 mm birch plywood core ensures dimensional stability, ideal for wall applications or vertical installations in any climate.
- A balancing back veneer (also oak, 0.6 mm) keeps the board flat and durable over time.
This composition is protected by Xstremestrong lacquer, delivering exceptional wear and impact resistance — up to 100 times stronger than standard lacquer finishes. It’s a material made to withstand real life without compromising aesthetics.
Performance & Sustainability
Dark Shade is not just about visual impact — it’s made to meet the high demands of modern interior design:
- Fire classification BFL-s1, conforming to UNI EN 13501-1:2019, offering low smoke emission and flame spread — critical for public spaces and hospitality.
- Formaldehyde emissions are minimal, below regulated thresholds, thanks to certified low-VOC glues and coatings.
- CE-marked (EN 14342:2013), meeting European standards for health, safety, and environmental performance.
- Sourced from fast-regrowth European oak forests, aligning with Mister Mann’s commitment to responsible design and sustainable material sourcing.
Versatile Application
At just 10.2 mm total thickness, Dark Shade is remarkably lightweight and easy to install — perfect for both new builds and renovations. It can be used across:
- Feature walls and architectural panels
- Ceilings or wraparound surfaces
- Boutique retail and hospitality environments
- Residential interiors craving dramatic warmth and texture
Its 580 × 580 mm format allows for seamless pattern flow, creative layout flexibility, and fast installation — a designer’s dream with contractor practicality.
