DNT Hammerfest 

Size: 150 sq. ft.
Roof & Walls: Kebony Character Cladding

Developed in Norway, Kebony’s revolutionary technology is a process that modifies softwoods by heating the wood with furfuryl alcohol — an agricultural by-product. By polymerizing the wood’s cell wall, the softwoods permanently take on the attributes of tropical hardwood including high durability, hardness and dimensional stability. The process contributes to the timber’s unique aesthetic which will see it develop a silver patina over time to match the surrounding rocks and landscapes.
