Cladding

The flats and courtyard garden offer an oasis of calm, while the lively village centre is only a stone's throw away. All flats are BEN-labelled, which stands for near-zero energy. The aim is to minimise energy consumption and produce renewable energy. 

Green oasis in the inner garden

 

The inner garden offers an atmospheric mix of grasses, various flowering plants, and characteristic trees. This is also reflected in the choice of facade cladding. The architectural firm Atrium chose the wooden facade cladding of LDCwood® ThermoWood® ayous. The wood has a rich color and smooth, even lines. Over time, it will gracefully turn grey.

 

Fire-Retardant ThermoWood® Ayous

 

For medium-height buildings such as apartments, specific fire safety requirements apply. To meet these requirements, LDCwood® ThermoWood® ayous was treated with the natural fire retardant Burnblock® by Lemahieu Fire Protection®, achieving the required fire reaction class. The fire-retardant treatment with Burnblock® is carried out under pressure in our autoclave. The fire retardant is 100% natural and biodegradable. Moreover, the product is Cradle-to-Cradle™ Gold certified. The fire-retardant treatment ensures the maintenance of the fire reaction class over time, so no re-treatment is necessary.
