A new visitor centre at Castle Drogo in Devon has been constructed using Finnforest-engineered timber products. The centre, which incorporates the extension of the existing building, was updated to help create a larger space and also deliver higher environmental standards

Finnjoists were used in the construction of the roof and specified for their ability to provide a structurally stable roofing solution combined with the capacity to create large insulated panels using Warmcel recycled newspaper insulation. To complement the use of Finnjoists, Kerto posts were erected internally, helping to strengthen the overall structure.
