Project of the Month

NATURALLY PERFECT^® WOOD PROTECTION

Toronto’s Grange Park playground won the 2017 Wood Design & Building Award. The art-themed destination playground, jointly owned by the Art Gallery of Ontario and the City of Toronto, mimics an artist’s bustling studio with climbable, larger-than-life art tools (a paint can, paint tube, charcoal pencils and painter’s palette). Meant to be played on by young children for years to come, Sansin’s Dec in ultra-saturated and solid hide Blue Jay, Fern Green and Primary Yellow colors was selected for its performance, environmentally friendly benefits, and for its ease of use and maintenance.

NATURALLY PERFECT^® WOOD PROTECTION

Located at the University of British Columbia, The National Soccer Development Centre cedar siding was coated in 2016 with Sansin Wood Sealer, which was chosen for its low-VOC, natural weathering characteristics and ease of maintenance. They wanted exceptional protection and won’t break down with exposure to sunlight, retaining its water-repellency and protecting against weathering and wood rot. The centre includes a 38,000-square-foot fieldhouse and five fields. The centre will serve UBC varsity athletes, community sports and recreation organizations, and Whitecaps teams of all levels. Wood Sealer is a water-borne, penetrating sealer that aggressively repels water and protects against wood rot, while allowing wood to breathe. Over a short time, the wood weathers uniformly to a beautiful silver gray tone. Wood Sealer also comes in an industrial/factory finish version, called Woodforce.
