Sustainable “Tin House” highly awarded
When Architect Henning Stummel chose GreenCoat PLX Pro BT for the entire façade and roof of the ”Tin House” – his latest construction in London – he did so for the unique ecological and aesthetic benefits. What he didn’t expect was all of the attention.
The Tin House was recently named a finalist for the World Architecture Festival Award (WAF) and for the RIBA House of the Year Award as well as shortlisted for the BD’s Architect of the Year Awards 2017, UK – Individual House. The Tin House is already a winner of the RIBA London Award 2016.
What is green in GreenCoat?
Most GreenCoat products feature a Bio-based Technology (BT) coating where a substantial portion of the traditional fossil oil is replaced by Swedish rapeseed oil.
As opposed to conventional coating formulas, the bio-based solvent becomes a permanent part of the final coating, making for a healthier environment and reducing the release of harmful substances into the air.
The unique BT coating holds a worldwide patent and offers not only environmental advantages, but also increased performance. The GreenCoat color coated product portfolio is currently the market’s greenest offering for roofs, façades and rainwater systems.
