EGGER Protect has been used to complete an award-winning new observatory inside Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, Europe’s largest area of protected night sky.
EGGER Protect structural flooring board was chosen to be used throughout the new £250,00 Gillian Dickinson Astroimaging Academy that sits alongside the observatory. Manufactured from P5 flooring grade particleboard, EGGER Protect has been used throughout the new 65sq metre facility.
The product provides dual-sided weather resistance and added safety with its anti-slip properties, for the entire 17sq metre viewing area. It was crucial to have a flooring board that would both survive the wear and tear of more than 23,000 visitors a year and would protect the visitors by preventing accidents.
Joiner Karl Fisher of The Dreamstone Woodworking Company comments: “The boards proved to be highly moisture-resistant and we laid them using EGGER’s Joint & Joist Adhesive to benefit from the Lifetime Guarantee.”
EGGER Protect contains wood-based materials sourced from Kielder Forest, meaning that the product has returned home.
English Spirit Distillery has used an extensive package of Altro products front and back of house, in their new visitor centre café, shop and viewing area for the working distillery.
