More Details About Project The California craftsman style of architecture is attractive with its exposed wood beams and siding. The major drawback to this style, especially near coastal areas, is the difficulty in maintaining wood in that 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 in woodgrain is unperceivable from wood, but it requires no maintenance over its life other than paint. This five star resort sits on the coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean where the guests enjoy the view. The resort management of this five star property appreciates the FRP for its maintenance free attributes that will last for decades.
