Landscaping LEVOLUX KEEPS TEDDINGTON PUPILS COOL
Following a £36 million development under the BSF scheme, Teddington School in south west London is proud of its new state-of-the-art building, with its solar panels and a naturally effective Solar Shading solution from Levolux. The school building’s exposed elevations have been fitted with an external Timber Fin Solar Shading solution, which not only provides effective shading, but also creates an impressive natural aesthetic. Formed from finger-jointed Western Red
Cedar Timber, the Fins are strategically located to provide shade to glazed openings and to create an attractive architectural feature on rendered elevations. All timber used by Levolux is sustainably sourced.
Arch bridges the gap at the Olympics Arch Timber Protection’s expertise will be on show at the Olympics, as Tanalised Clear pressure treated timber has been designed into the T12 bridge, one of the site’s key wood-clad pedestrian bridges. The bridge used around 12,000 metres of FSC-certified siberian larch cladding louvres, 200 metres of laminated special larch sections and 7,000 metres of Tanalised Extra pressure treated anti-slip decking timbers, all supplied by
Hoppings Softwood Products. The larch is Tanalised Clear preservative treated, which not only protects against the long term threat of fungal decay and insect attack, but also leaves the timber with a brighter and more natural appearance. Tanalised Clear treated timber is designed for use in exterior out of ground contact applications, such as cladding and decking.
