Lemahieu Group and LDCwood will be closed from December 22 until January 2, 2026. We will reopen on January 5, 2026.
Nursing homes are subject to very strict fire safety regulations. Timber facade cladding may not seem the most obvious choice, but thanks to the fire-retardant solutions for timber and panels from Lemahieu Fire Protection® more and more architects are deciding to use timber.
Etau Architects used ThermoWood® pine from LDCwood for nursing home Couillet. It was treated with fire-retardant by Lemahieu Fire Protection® to achieve the required reaction to fire classification.


The combination of three different profiles creates a vertical interplay of lines on the facade.
Fire-retardant ThermoWood® pine from LDCwood:
always has FSC® or PEFC® certification
has a reaction to fire classification of B-s2,d0
