Hockey and sport centre Gantoise

A look inside the Ghent sports temple

Lemahieu as Cladding

In the new sports complex on Noorderlaan in Ghent, “experience” is everything. And not just for the thousands of Ghent residents participating in sports. In addition to the pitches, there is the “Serve” restaurant, a roof terrace, several stands, and a physiotherapy room.

For the central building, durable ThermoWood® pine from LDCwood was chosen for both the interior and exterior wall cladding. In order to achieve the required reaction to fire classification, it was given a fire-retardant treatment by Lemahieu Fire Protection®.

Lempan Panels provided the black panels to which the planed ThermoWood® was attached.
