Sell wood-look fences with a texture the buyer can actually see

A composite infill fence configurator pairs an aluminium structure with a wood-look surface. Instead of a RAL shade the buyer picks one of three wood tones — cedar, oak or teak — and the 3D scene applies the matching texture rather than merely recolouring the material. Everything else stays the same: boundary, height, gap, posts, gates and price.

A wood-look fence sells on appearance, and appearance is exactly what survives an email or a sample card least well. The configurator addresses that head on: switching from a RAL shade to a wood tone changes the material in the 3D scene, so the buyer compares real surface grain rather than a colour name.

Who this solution is for

Manufacturers offering identical profiles in RAL and wood-look who need to separate them visually.
Dealers matching fences to timber buildings and decking where the tone has to agree.
Businesses wanting fewer complaints about the gap between expected and delivered finish.

What buyers can configure

Finish type: A switch between a solid RAL shade and a wood-look finish; the colour set and the 3D material change with it.
Wood tone: Cedar, oak and teak — each with its own texture in the 3D scene.
Panel pattern: The wood-look finish works on horizontal and vertical slat patterns and on solid panels.
Dimensions and boundary: Heights of 400–3,000 mm, panel widths from 1,800 to 2,000 mm, one to four sides from 1.8 to 30 m.
Posts, gates and mounting: Aluminium or the buyer’s own concrete posts, caps, mounting method and up to two gates per side.

What the engine validates

The finish drives the colour set: With a wood-look finish the RAL palette is not shown, and vice versa; the two sets never mix.
Gap depends on the pattern: The gap control appears only on patterns that have a gap; solid panels and the Z-profile do not offer it.
Post upgrade above 1,500 mm: A taller fence moves to a stronger post profile regardless of the chosen finish.
Four sides maximum: The boundary closes with at most four sides.
Discrete gate widths: A gate is chosen from price-list widths per type, not from a free slider.

What changes the price

Finish type: A wood-look finish carries different production effort from a plain RAL shade and shows in the surface price.
Pattern and dimension bracket: The panel price comes from the design × max width × max height bracket.
Panel count: Side lengths and the chosen panel width determine how many panels are built.
Posts, caps and anchoring: Charged separately, and they grow with the post profile on taller fences.
Gates and equipment: Gate type, width and height plus post box, motorisation and electric lock.

What buyers and sales receive

For the buyer: A 3D view with the real wood texture, a live price and a PDF quotation.
For sales: A breakdown with finish type, tone, pattern, panel and post counts, gates and price.
A shareable link: The link reopens the identical fence including the wood tone.

What we need for implementation

Product data: We need your decors, their texture sources, compatible profiles and dimension brackets.
Pricing model: Your price list becomes panel and gate brackets plus a surcharge for the surface finish.
Sales integration: The priced configuration and PDF are delivered by email or into CRM.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wood-look finish really a texture in 3D, or just a colour?+

It is a texture. Switching to wood swaps the panel material, so the buyer sees the surface grain rather than recoloured aluminium.

Can RAL shades and a wood-look finish be mixed on one fence?+

The finish type is chosen for the whole fence, so one build uses one set. Switching between them is a single click, which makes comparison quick.

Which patterns work with the wood-look finish?+

Horizontal and vertical slat patterns and solid panels. The gap options still follow the pattern, not the finish.

Does the wood-look finish affect the price?+

Yes, through the surface treatment. The exact difference depends on your price list and appears in the configurator the moment you switch.

Which tones are available?+

Cedar, oak and teak. Each carries its own texture, so the difference is visible even on an identical panel pattern.
