Design and build company Rothwell Robinson Ltd selected ThermoWood from Finnforest to satisfy the demands of the brief which also stated that the clubhouse had to be of a traditional appearance and design.

Mike Robinson of Rothwell Robinson originally considered a metal cladding, but timber fulfilled the aesthetic requirements of the brief. However, a timber product that would require none of the regular maintenance that softwoods command was also imperative.

ThermoWood is engineered from Finnish European redwood and is produced by a process of intensive heat treatment. Chemical changes occur during the heating and drying process, resulting in a stable product that is resistant to moisture, insect and fungal decay.
