Woodtrend were proud to be selected to supply the timber for the spectacular New Venue at the RAA dedicated to conversation and debate. All the raw material for the oak cladding, flooring and handrails was hand selected to satisfy the Architect David Chipperfield's high specification for the oak. Superb installation by Atlantic Contracts

The oak used for the seating, walls and handrails was all machined and fumed by UK craftsmen working with Woodtrend. Deep fuming insures the timber is fumed through and through allowing long lasting maintenance. Deep fuming brings out the natural beauty of European Oak. The cladding for the walls finished in oils by Woodtrend.
