Mollies.com “Meet Mollie’s: England’s modern-day answer to the American Dream. A Soho House designed motel with a classic diner. The classic 1950s motel and diner is a roadside spot that oozes coolness through its retro design.”
Thermowood is the perfect Timber species for coating, being a timber with almost zero moisture movement the chance of coating failures is minimal. Supplied pre-finished with the Sansin SDF system, the material was ready to be installed as soon as it was delivered to site.
The SDF system will protect the outside of wood, along with protecting the inside by allowing it to ‘breath’ – helping to prevent moisture from getting trapped in the wood and causing rot. Benefits of the SDF System include;
- UV resistant
- 130+ Finishes in the range
- Highly water-repellent
- Low in VOC content
