This school environment combines safety, sustainability, and a warm, natural appearance — making it ideal for young users such as kindergarten children.
The design deliberately incorporates materials that perform strongly both ecologically and functionally. The ThermoWood® spruce, supplied by LDCwood, gives the building a natural and timeless look. Thanks to the thermal modification process, the wood achieves durability class 2, ensuring a long lifespan without the need for chemical treatments.
Moreover, ThermoWood® is fully recyclable, perfectly aligning with circular building principles.
Fire-retardant ThermoWood® spruce
To meet the strict fire safety requirements of a school environment, Lemahieu Fire Protection® was engaged. The ThermoWood® spruce was treated with Burnblock®, an innovative fire retardant based on 100% natural ingredients.
This treatment enables the wood to achieve the required fire reaction classification without compromising its ecological character. Burnblock® is also Cradle to Cradle Gold certified and has a very low VOC content, contributing to a healthy and safe environment.
Thanks to this combination of natural materials and high-performance fire protection, this project is particularly suitable for vulnerable target groups such as young children, where safety and indoor air quality are essential.
