More Details About Project Spencer Maxwell Bullock Architect's designed this beachfront condominium unit with attractive exposed wood beams and siding. The major drawback to this style, especially near coastal areas, is the difficulty in maintaining wood in this environment. DEC produced the columns, beams, rafter tails and knee braces in a wood textured FRP. This class 1 fire rated material is impervious to moisture and with the cast pieces in woodgrain, it is unperceivable from wood, yet, it requires no maintenance over its life other than paint. This High end condo in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida is located on the coast overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Exposure to sun, wind and salt air can wear any material down over time, but with woodgrain FRP the management only needs to re-paint the stain occasionally for this products maintenance. This saves the owners a tremendous amount of maintenance costs over the life of the building.
