Polo Farm
Set amongst the expansive Cambridge Fens kept company by Polo ponies and acres of Polo pitches lies this timber clad farm house. Built by Inti Construction Ltd using a SIPS construction method, Siberian Larch cladding was factory coated with OrganoWood® to create a consistent silver/grey façade.
Planed all round, supplied in set lengths with a fine-sawn face. Spaced with 10mm shadow-gaps, sitting on a black Tyvek UV wrap to give definition to the appearance.
The Grade A, kiln dried Siberian Larch finished to a 118mm width has been factory coated under controlled conditions to apply the correct amount of OrganoWood® to speed up the weathering, creating a consistent, uniformed appearance to all elevations.
Since publishing this case study, Siberian Larch is no longer available. To achieve a similar aesthetic we recommend BCLarch®, a PEFC™ certified, sustainable alternative that delivers long-lasting performance. If a factory coated finish is required, thermally modified species such as Abodo Vulcan®, Imbue™, ThermoWood® Ash and ThermoWood® Pine work best.
