The18th century Montalto Estate has been renovated in recent years by the current owners, the Wilson family.
Accoya was supplied by Abbey Woods, Accoya’s official distributor in Ireland, and was specified for the construction of the external barn doors and internal window sub-frames.
"In any conversion, it is important that features and characters of the original building are maintained and respected," said project architect Colin McCabe of John J O’Connell Architects Ltd. "Accoya is the perfect construction material for the conversion of the sawmill at Montalto Estate, boasting its superiority as a timber product, not least its durability, stability and sustainability".
"Accoya is proven as a sustainable, durable, and stable material which is guaranteed against rot and decay for 50 years for exterior use, making it perfect for external building applications such as this," said Bryan Crennell, sales and marketing director for Accsys Technologies.
"The use of Accoya in this conversion project perfectly illustrates the venue’s rich history as a timber sawmill and meets the demands of architectural excellence. The classification of Accoya window frames as carbon negative over their full life cycle proves Montalto Estate’s attention to environmental considerations."
