3 Material Information Surface Treatment Why choose wood? When deciding on a lighting column for your project you are faced with a seemingly endless range of options. Choosing the correct material is one of the first step towards making your project a success. Material plays an immensely important role when it comes to the aesthetics of a product. Some materials convey a cold and industrial feeling while others feel warm and natural. Laminated wooden lighting columns can be used to create richness, drama, symmetry, contrast, and warmth. It is up to you to decide in which direction to go. Surface Treatment Our surface treatments have been designed to deliver the ultimate combination of environmental friendliness and wood protection to obtain maximum product life cycle. Step 1: Preservation First, our laminated wood columns are treated with a water based wood preservative which permeates the material and prevents the development of blue stain fungi, mildew and wood rot. This treatment ensures a long life for the column. ***Volatile organic compound (VOC) about 10g/litre.*** Laminated wood, Glulam Standards The beams, from which our poles are made are designed and certified as GL28-h. According to standard EN338, this defines the allowable stresses and properties of glued-laminated timber in 12% humidity. There are among others, four strength classes GL24, 28, 32 and 36h, in order of increasing strength. The thickness of the planks making up the beam will not exceed 34 mm, in compliance with standard EN40 and the CUAP, for combined wood and metal urban lighting. The poles are sized in compliance with current standards and the CUAP. They are produced from a single beam. The planks used to construct the beam are orientated to direct the core outwards. This technique helps to reduce the likelihood of unsightly surface cracks. Sustainability The forest is a renewable resource provided it is managed in a fully sustainable manner... To ensure this, two eco-labels, FSC(1) and PEFC(2) have been created. With over 30 member countries and more than 220 million hectares of forest, the PEFC certification program is the most widespread in the world. This program ensures that the rate at which the forests are harvested does not exceed their regeneration capacity... Step 2: Colour Next, the columns are coated with a translucent pigment. This coating is designed to add colour to the column while enhancing the natural grain of the wood. Our wide range of standard colours will allow you to create a product which blends perfectly with your project. ***VOC 20g/litre*** Step 3: Protection Lastly, three layers of coluor-tinted varnish are applied to protect against UV radiation, blue stain fungi and mildew. ***VOC 29 g/litre*** We offer full traceability with all of our laminated wooden columns. Upon request we are able to provide the geographical location from which the raw material used to produce your product was harvested. The PEFC label guarantees that the material used to produce your column was harvested from a well managed and fully sustainable forest. Maintenance Standard Colours Maintenance actions should be performed on a 7 to 10 year interval, depending on weather conditions and product location. Actions can be preformed on-site while the columns is upright. Step 1: Brushing and Washing Columns can be brushed and washed with water to remove surface dirt and debris. Step 2: Inspection Once clean, the columns can be checked for signs of wear or damage. If no wear or damage is found, no further actions are necessary. Wood Pigments Colour is a very powerful aspect of design. We have carefully selected a broad colour pallet which can be used to enhance the natural look of the wood or to give it a more contemporary feel.

Once the effected area is repaired the surface can then be easily revarnished. Chestnut Flint Charcoal 3 (1) Forest Stewardship Council. (2) Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification
