Wood

  • Exotic wood: Moabi ou Tali – FSC forest certification (on request).
  • European wood: Black locust or -PEFC forest certification.
  • Black locust: Only European wood naturally rot-resistant (class 4).
  • Northern Pine: Treated by Class 4 autoclave
  • Aspect / feel : Wood keeps its natural aspect thanks to finish by application of saturator.
  • Finish according to the dimension of and wood species:
    • On small sections of BLACK LOCUST and MOABI : 3 layers of saturator
    • On big sections of MOABI : 1 layer for seal coating and 2 layers of integrated surface coating in aqueous phase.
    • On Tali of all sections: 2 layers of integrated surface coating in aqueous phase.
  • Also provided without finish : wood can then slowly turn to a greyish shade.
To remember :
  • The application of teak oil or a saturator gives only a temporary finish which requires regular maintenance, whereas integrated surface coating keeps the finish of the wood much longer, but requires more care and cleaning.
  • BLACK LOCUST tends to become chapped in the first months of its exposition, but without damaging its high-resistance.

STEEL CORTEN

Self-patinated steel with forced surface corrosion.

  • Thickness of the steel: 4 mm
  • Appearance: rusty and nuanced
  • Treatment: oxidation, UV protection and application of a varnish.
  • Square corten steel has a treatment that blocks any sagging due to the evolution of the material.

Treatment of metal surfaces

Zink metallizing

  • Garantees : Efficient protection with extremely durable coating

  • Some of our products can receive spray galvanizing protection instead of metallizing

Thermo-lacquering

  • Aspect / feel : Mat, gloss, sand, satin, textured, frosty finish…
  • Colours : RAL colour chart
