Award Winning Puhoi Bush Bach: Recreate This Silvered Natural Wood Cladding Look
A simple yet beautiful "bush bach" has taken out the Auckland-Northland Architectural Designers Awards, announced on Friday, June 30, 2017.
Designer David Maurice has created a raw but considered holiday home with a large fireplace and twin bathtubs on the deck.
Natural timber siding features on the exterior, silvering off into a patina which contrasts ever so slightly with the corrugated steel elements.
A similar natural cladding effect can be used using Abodo's Tundra Cladding, coated in Sioo:x wood protection.
Sioo:x is a silicate based surface coating that reacts with wood and the surrounding elements creating a slick silvery shell on the outside of timber.
Please note: Tundra Cladding is no longer available. However, you can achieve a similar look in our Vulcan Cladding – Standard Series.
