The "Haven project" treated with WoodGuard Color Professional, awarded by the Royal Institute British Architects
By Caroline Oberto, Friday 25 November 2011 at 11:32 :: General
Due to the high probability of flooding in the Norfolk Broads, only materials that possess long-lasting durability and the ability to cope with a wet climate would be able to meet the demands of the project and Accoya wood as specified. Accoya wood could face the challenge of being exposed to such conditions without shrinkage and reduced performance. For this project, the Accoya wood was used for cladding, decking and screening. Architects, Lambert, Scott and Innes modernised the design by creating a unique, curved Accoya rear screen; this was to resemble a traditional wooden boat construction.
For the protection and decoration of Accoya, the company Accsys Technologies applied Guard Industry's product WoodGuard Color Professional, our protection and decoration product for wood.
