Quality Hyne building products, such as those available from NZ Wood, were also used in the RAAF Fitness Centre to guarantee a well-performing building that would have few maintenance requirements.
Hyne timber was used for this project in the rafters, skylights and the purlins. All the wood products were treated to hazard level H3, which is a cost-effective way of protecting the wood from the harsh environment of an indoor swimming pool. Hyne also designed and made a hidden epoxy dowl joint system for the 38 main rafters in the building.
The Hynebeams used on this project all came from softwood plantation forests and have a much smaller carbon footprint than other competing building materials.
