    PROTECTIVE COATING FROM OSMO FOR LUXURIOUS LODGE IN NATIONAL PARK IN PATAGONIA

    “Torres del Paine” is one of the best known national parks in Chile and a part of Patagonia. Since as early as 1978, the national park is UNESCO biosphere reserve, in other words a model region, in which sustainable development should be realized with reference to ecological, economic and social issues.

    The landscape is characterised by impressive mountains, glaciers, fjords and large lakes. On the river banks of the Salto Chico waterfalls, the hotel “Salto Chico” opened its doors in 1993.

    From the hotel, visitors can enjoy a unique view of the “Torres del Paine” (needle-like granite mountains) – the landmark of the National Park.

    Stairs treated with Osmo coatings and wood panelling

    Chilean Lenga, which was used in the interior construction, sets a warm contrast to the white walls. To protect the wood optimally, during the renovation works in 2012 interior wood was treated with Osmo Polyx®-Oil Original 3032 Clear Satin. The aim was to retain the natural tone of the wood and at the same time protect it optimally.

    Osmo Polyx®-Oil Original is especially suitable for these renovation works because it keeps the natural characteristics of the wood and it is low-maintenance, water and dirt-repellent as well as hard-wearing. Thus, the interior wood is optimally protected, but simultaneously is radiates out warmth and cosiness through its natural colour.
