Construction
The construction is made of KVH solid construction timber. KVH is a designation for technically-dried, continuously bonded, solid spruce wood. The individual wood parts are dried, scanned for flaws, sorted and then weatherproofed by continuous bonding using finger-jointing. Fissures, branches and slight twists reflect the character of the materials used.
Color treatment
This building kit is not treated with color. Wood in outdoor areas is constantly exposed to the elements, such as fungus and insect infestations. Regular application of protective coatings is thus essential. Primer should be applied to all sides prior to assembly. First apply wood primer to protect against fungus and insects.
Then apply an intermediate and a finishing coat of premium wood varnish or paint to protect against color change and damage. Calculate service intervals of about 4-5 years, prior to the appearance of visible damage. Follow the processing guidelines of the varnish manufacturer.
Roofing
Roofing consists of stable, 10 mm-thick polycarbonate twin-wall sheet. The top face is provided with a UV-reflecting layer. It is attached with a high-quality aluminium profile with EPDM lip-seals.
