Sustainable wood coating technology by Nanovations for Western Red Cedar

Nanovations is utilizing a new technology to offer completely clear finishes that create a truly amazing appearance while offering the best possible protection.

Nanovations Lignol Wood Care Cedar highlights the full decorative potential of external Western Red Cedar surfaces and structures.

The use of Nano-sized UV absorbers makes it possible to add the absorbers in much higher concentration in thinner coating layers, without altering the transparency and the appearance of the coating.

Lignol Wood Care was first choice for one of the most sustainable residential house designs in Australia.

The outstanding building located in the Sydney suburb Bayview, includes features like solar energy, low voltage LED lightning, rainwater recycling and a solar hot water system. All building materials, paints and coatings have been selected for the lowest possible emissions (VOC).

The intelligent design does not require an air condition system. All windows are coated with an infra red blocking film and natural air ventilation is used in all rooms. A home automation and building lighting control system makes it easy to control energy consumption of the building.

The facade cladding is made out of Western Red Cedar tongue and groove, vertical installed and coated with the zero VOV coating Lignol Wood Care UV.
