A new breed of MDF
Tricoya used for Interior and Exterior Cladding in Chile
More than 3,000-square-yards of Tricoya MDF panel was used for interior/exterior cladding by Leaf, for this clinic in Santiago, Chile.
It is coated with clear polyurethane to show off the natural fiber characteristics.
Medite Tricoya, which offered an ideal cladding solution to the front of the college building, has provided a host of practical advantages compared to traditional cladding alternatives.
Suitable for interior and exterior use, Medite Tricoya, which eliminates the need for heavy masonry on outer walls, can be improved with flame retardants and surface coatings for an aesthetically enhanced finish.
Specifying Medite Tricoya provided a low carbon, cost effective alternative to other construction materials such as compact laminate, rockfibre and fibre cement panels.
Two of Norway’s young entrepreneurs have formed an innovative response to the demand for student accommodation in Norway, by transforming shipping containers into residential flats framed with Accoya wood and clad with Tricoya.
MyBox is a pre-fabricated box constructed with low-maintenance Accoya and Tricoya modified wood products, which protect the residential units from the harsh effects of the external environment and together create an excellent U-value rating and thermal performance. The accommodation solution is assembled in a matter of days, and once constructed, is approved as a permanent building.
