Major Lifestyle Store

In the store described above, the wood surfaces and structures had to meet the fire protection requirements of fire classification B-s1, d0. In addition, the tone of the wood surfaces had to correspond to the architect's designs.

In order to reach the desired tone in the final product, the original tone of the pine wood had to be taken into account when choosing the tone of the fire retardant. Opdeco and Nordtreat tested several alternatives before making the final choice.

WOOD IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN AN ATTRACTIVE STORE DECOR

Natural wood and wood veneer are popular décor materials today. Light-toned wooden surfaces create a warm atmosphere and match well with steel, for example. Wood is a natural choice especially for brands that emphasise ecological values.

The décor project of the large lifestyle store in downtown Helsinki included fixtures and also a lot of structures and surfaces that were made from pine snag. In total, two lorry loads, or about 10,000 running metres, of fire protected wood products were used in the project. They can be found in the upholstery of walls, the service counters and in the pergola structures of the restaurant that is also part of the store.

“We searched many places to find a reasonably priced fire protection solution that would provenly meet the fire authorities’ regulations and also provide the tone we wanted. Nordtreat was able to offer a thoroughly tested, certified solution that also met our other expectations.”

Olli Päivärinta, Managing Director, Opdeco
