For the cladding of slate for this windy area close to the coast of the North Sea the architect has chosen the Moinho’s Multicolour. Various sizes were used like the 35×25 and 40×25 slates for wall cladding from the Moinho quarry. Extensive testing was conducted by the official institutes guaranteeing a long life fixing.

Fixing of the wall cladding was made by screws and nails.
