“Our proprietary rain screen system brought state-of-the-art back-drained rain screen cladding and soffit technology to enhance building envelope performance and extend the building’s service life and energy performance.” BRIAN LOTZ, TIMBER HOLDINGS USA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 33 “The desire to accent the golden tones of the locally sourced Lannon stone that anchors the structure with a natural wood toned cladding material was the basis for selecting Iron Woods® Garapa,” according to Brian Lotz, Timber Holdings USA’s Director of Business Development/Outside Sales and Environmental Compliance. Garapa, also known as Brazilian ash, is a straight-grained exotic hardwood sourced from South America. Garapa’s durability, resistance to decay, chatoyance, and above all its warm golden hue made it an ideal choice to complement the creamy yellowish Lannon stone that clads the structure’s lower walls. Lannon stone is a type of limestone or dolomite that is quarried in nearby Lannon, Wisconsin. “Our proprietary rain screen system brought state-of-the-art back-drained rain screen cladding and soffit technology to enhance building envelope performance and extend the building’s service life and energy performance,” Lotz said. In addition, the FSC certified Garapa also helped the Grande Cheese Company achieve a desired level of building sustainability.
