Timber is still our most versatile and renewable construction material providing a warm and natural finish to any home. All of our ECOLAP claddings are manufactured from the finest Scandinavian redwood sourced from either FSC or PEFC accredited resources which match our own commitment to the responsible use of timber.
*The 5-7 year performance warranty on the ECOLAP coating is dependent on correct initial installation of the claddings to our instructions and a simple annual inspection and maintenance programme that is detailed in a separate maintenance guide.
The timbers are sourced from either FSC or PEFC accredited resources which match our own commitment to the responsible use of timber.
Working with timber is our business. Our own experienced joinery teams check every length of redwood for quality and suitability prior to machining the unique design features into our ECOLAP claddings.
Each board is inspected prior to machining and individually planed to work with the grain so that in years to come the board will remain flat. This is an important factor in achieving the best possible coating coverage.
Each ECOLAP board is 125mm nominal size with a 110mm cover.
ECOLAP has three important curves. Firstly on the top shoulder - this takes the most abrasion from the weather. Secondly on the bottom edge where our teardrop profile allows rainwater to drip off instead of settling and causing damage. And finally there are two stress grooves on the back face that relieve the natural tension in the wood allowing the boards to remain flat.
ECOLAP is so full of character. You will notice that we have left the face of ECOLAP rough sawn. This is to enhance the timber's natural beauty and to allow you to see that it is still genuine timber underneath. The final protective coating also attains better adhesion and will therefore give greater performance.
Each ECOLAP board also neatly dovetails with the next to allow secret nailing with just one fixing at the top. This means the coating surface is not broken and the weather cannot penetrate.
The ECOLAP range also includes timber corner profiles in both 90° and 135° options that provide neat and weather proof finishes.
VACSOL Aqua is a proven industrially applied water based wood preservative from Lonza, our wood protection partners, containing biodegradable fungicides that will give the ECOLAP cladding a 30 year service life protection against decay.
The Teknos coating factories have both quality and environmental management systems, certified in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and the Teknos coating system is water based with VOC levels significantly below current and proposed legislative levels. They are also free from any heavy metals.
The controlled factory application of the breathable and flexible primer coating and two coats of the chosen colour top coat helps ensure the best possible initial protection and a simple yearly inspection and maintenance programme allows a 5-7 year overall coating performance warranty*.
The Teknos white ANTI STAIN AQUA PRIMER is water based and helps reduce and delay discolouring of topcoat treatment around any knots in the ECOLAP claddings. The single coat primer is applied to all faces of the ECOLAP claddings.
The Teknos AQUATOP 2600 is a high build finish applied as two coats to the exterior face of the ECOLAP claddings. Providing a flexible, durable, micro-porous protective film which is resistant to bacteria, mould and UV attack, AQUATOP 2600 is available in a choice of 10 modern and fashionable opaque colours to suit each park home environment.

Due to the limitations of colour presentation, the sample colours shown are not guaranteed to be totally accurate.
High quality Teknos coatings are used to decorate and protect ECOLAP timbers and they are applied in a controlled factory environment.
This combination allows a 5-7 year performance warranty on the coating subject to correct initial installation of the claddings to our instructions and a simple annual inspection and maintenance programme that is detailed in a separate maintenance guide.
