Accoya chosen for German Apartment Complex

 Monday, August 1, 2016

accoyaAccoya, one of the leading modified woods, has been specified for a stunning apartment block in one of Hamburg’s most fashionable streets.

 

The new build apartment complex, located in the borough of Eimsbüttel, has a striking white façade and grand windows. The building was inspired by the Wilhelminian architecture of the 20th Century.

 

The architects specified Accoya for the building’s 80 windows and 20 exterior doors, including balcony doors for some of the individual apartments.

 

Supplied by distributor Enno Roggemann of Lueneburg, a total of 21m3 of Accoya was used to help support the building’s Passive House credentials, meaning it is one of the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly buildings around.

 

Passive House is a voluntary standard in energy efficient construction and means that properties built to these standards have a low carbon footprint, therefore requiring little energy for heating or cooling.

 

Joerg Neben, product manager at Enno Roggemann said: “The residence is elegant and perfectly complements its surroundings. Quality was particularly important for this build given the grandeur of the existing buildings in its vicinity.

 

“Accoya was chosen as the quality of wood complemented the high standard of the rest of the development. The result is beautiful, superior standard wood used to create well-crafted windows and doors which are built to last”.

 

Laura Ladd, head of marketing at Accsys Technologies said: “Accoya is one of the most durable wood products available in Europe. Virtually rot proof and completely sustainable, the product lends itself for use in the manufacture of windows and doors. Now installed in this residence in Hamburg, the owners can be confident that there will be limited repair and maintenance required for the foreseeable future.”
