Woodsafe WFX™
Woodsafe WFX™ is the obvious choice of flame retardant wood when you want "Mother Earth" to take care of the aging process on nature's own conditions, where wind, sunlight, precipitation and temperature create their expression on the wood panel.
Woodsafe WFX™ is advantageously used in environments with high humidity such as bathhouse facilities, ice hockey arenas or in very humid environments such as mines, underground environments, and in exterior environments such as facade and roofing, irrespective of whether they are inland or coastal.

Grondulows Koe in de Kost
‘Koe in de kost’ (‘cow in fare’) is a project aimed at the realisation of eighteen ecological recreational residences which have been integrated in a meadow lined with hedgerows. The accommodations are based on a roof of grass recessed in the landscape. It has a logical binding with the surrounding farms although they have a modern design. With an arched hood the maximum height of the construction is three meters above the grassland. ‘Grondulows’ are built of sustainable and healthy materials with wood as a basis. Guests in these houses cannot only see the wood, but also smell and feel it.
The house radiates warmth with its wooden dining tables and tree-trunk roof. Because it is possible to take a bath beneath a tree-trunk roof it shows... More
