ThermoWood® ayous, fire retardant treated

 

ThermoWood® ayous, a durable, thermally modified wood without knots and with a warm, natural appearance, was chosen for the cladding. Ayous comes from sustainably managed forests.

 

To meet the strict fire safety regulations for schools, ThermoWood® ayous was fire retardant treated to the required reaction to fire class by Lemahieu Fire Protection®. The fire retardant, Burnblock® is 100% natural and pressure-impregnated into the ThermoWood®.

 

In this way, the project combines an aesthetically and environmentally friendly facade with maximum fire safety - ideal for a future-oriented learning environment.
