Timber Rafter End

Polure timber rafter ends provide authentic craftsman overhang details, rustic roof eave accents, and architectural character for exterior building facades without the structural load or maintenance of solid timber. Precision-molded from real timber cuts using high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these decorative rafter tails capture natural wood grain while offering wood-like mechanical durability at an ultra-lightweight mass. Formulated with a closed-cell matrix, water absorption is strictly under 1%, ensuring the rafter tails will never rot, warp, split, or harbor wood-boring insects under outdoor roof exposure from -100 °C / +80 °C. Classified under fire class B2, each piece is delivered pre-treated with a white acrylic primer. Installation is executed using continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on rear surfaces paired with mechanical countersunk screws. Fill screw holes with facade putty and finish with elastic UV-resistant exterior paint.
