Abstract: A decorative sheet arranged on the outside or inside of buildings is composed of a compression-molded core made from one or more core layers. The core contains cellulose fibers or wood fibers, bound to one another by a hot-curing resin. Each core layer is composed of wood fibers or of cellulose fibers having lengths from 0.3 to 30 mm, and is containing pigments or is without pigments. The pigments are uniformly distributed within the core layer, and their proportion by weight is from above 0 to 20% by weight of the mixture made from pigments and from wood fibers or cellulose fibers. The pigments are colorfast, and weathering of the wood fibers or cellulose fibers at the surfaces of the sheet causes the original coloration of the core surfaces to change so that, when dry, the core is covered by a gray-silver patina, but substantially regains its original coloration when wet.
