Coating of CLT Sauna bench

In the rental property's sauna, there was a desire to prevent the risk of slipping and to make the cleaning of the frequently used sauna easier. The steps of the cross-laminated timber (CLT) bench were treated with a ElaProof+SAND Floor Covering.

As a waterproofing and sealing product, the ElaProof product has by far the highest water vapor permeability. This enables the product to be used in situations where the structure needs to be dry during use. This enables the long-term operation of the structure and quick repairs.
