Situated on the southern shores of Loch Lomond, the prestigious De Vere Cameron House Hotel is one of Scotland’s premier hotel destinations.

In 2008, the hotel expanded its dining options with the launch of the Boat House Restaurant – a stylish, wood-clad, New England-style building for discerning guests. The restaurant required a highly durable and stable cladding finish that sat comfortably within the natural environment and – importantly – would stand the test of time.

Following the thorough evaluation of a range of timber species by cladding specialists Vincent Timber, Accoya was specified for its superb aesthetics, sustainability, excellent dimensional stability and durability.

The external cladding was supplied fully factory coated and a total of 10,000 linear metres of Accoya wood was used, applied in horizontal and vertical profiles, along with trims, reveals and corners. The cladding was coated with a Cetol BL Sikkens water based acrylic coating. Factory coating the cladding prior to delivery enabled rapid installation.

We chose Accoya after evaluating it against other cladding products and our client is pleased with its performance in both its internal and external uses… Accoya offers superb stability and durability which guarantees an excellent performance. It is very easy to handle and the absence of cracks made it ideal for this project.”
