Sansin Enhances Durability of Alaskan Yellow Cedar on Outdoor Pavilion

January 2022 —–
Project of the Month February 2022

A highly anticipated covered outdoor rink at Gore Meadows Community Centre in Brampton, ON, was brought to life with the help of Sansin. The four-season structure is the first of its kind in the city. It hosts community events in the summer and ice skating in the winter. Designed by ZAS Architects + Interiors, the pavilion’s grid-like structure – a modern take on a WWII aircraft hangar – features beautiful panels of curved Alaskan yellow cedar glulam, which were chosen for their strength, durability and natural beauty. The panels were factory coated with Precision Coat SDF in a custom color to bring out the beauty of the wood and provide the durability needed in this harsh climate. The glulam for the 8,600-square foot domed structure was supplied and coated by the Quebec-based lumber processor and distributor, Goodfellow.

Sansin Protects California’s First Multi-Story, CLT Mass Timber Building

December 2021 —–
POTM January 2022

NATURALLY PERFECT® WOOD PROTECTION

A first-of-its kind building in San Francisco is protected with Sansin. Considered a milestone for mass timber in California, the 134,000-square foot triangular 1 De Haro is the first cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure in San Francisco and is also California’s first multi-story mass timber building. The mixed-use commercial project, which targets LEED Gold certification, was developed by SKS Partners and designed by Perkins&Will. A shimmering glass exterior wraps around the structure’s wooden core, creating a connection between the interior and exterior. Supplied by Nordic Structures, the mass timber creates warmth while also offering a dramatically reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional construction. Sansin’s KP-12 UVW was applied to the CLT in Nordic’s factory, with vertical posts receiving two coats of Precision Coat Purity Glacier. The use of Sansin’s low-VOC finishes not only brings out the character of the wood, but also offers dimensional stability and superior protection. Precision Coat Dealer, Gray’s Paint, supported this project with product and on-site support.
