Westminster Abbey
an international project with status
For a successful result, good interaction between the wholesaler (Oxid Coatings) and the manufacturer (Anker Stuy Coatings) is essential. For example, the special Westminster Abbey project used a solvent-based stain and a solvent-based clear coat.
Our partner Oxid Coatings in Eibergen received a request from its client Casala to develop a stain in a special color with a beautiful look, especially for Westminster Abbey. A fantastic beautiful challenge for which Leon Volk, owner of Oxid Coatings, developed eight shades of brown, from which ultimately one color was chosen for the 2,200 new chairs for Westminster Abbey. A beautiful oak veneer was chosen for this with the Westminster Abbey Crest in the backrest.
What products have been applied?
The veneer was coloured with Anker Stuy’s HD LM Color Stain. This prestige project did have some tough requirements and therefore high demands were placed on the quality of the lacquer work. For example, the finish had to be resistant to candle wax and of course – given the application in the Abbey – also well scratch and wear resistant. The choice fell on the HD Solo PUR System lacquer clear matt from Anker Stuy.
The 2 component paint meets the EN 71-3 standard, is free of heavy metals and suitable for children’s toys, meets the DIN 4102 B1 standard making it flame-resistant plus the DIN 68861 B1 standard, which demonstrates chemical resistance. “The Abbey Chair has an aesthetically pleasing appearance due to its blunt matte finish, which makes it fit perfectly with the architecture and atmosphere of the Abbey.”
