Cardigan Bay's new in-shore lifeboat station has been protected against the elements using Sikkens. The station houses a D class lifeboat and a B class Atlantic lifeboat, with their respective launching vehicles.

Built from traditional construction methods and designed by architect Peter Moseley, the station makes use of timber both internally and externally. Cedar cladding is used on exterior facades, and the doors, windows and screens are built from sustainable hardwood sources. All the timber has been finished with Sikkens Cetol HLS and Filter 7 woodstains. Used as a base stain, Cetol HLS is readily absorbed into the timber with strong pigmentation offering excellent protection against light and fungicidal damage. For the finishing coat, Cetol Filter 7 in Light Oak was applied to ensure the maximum protection against ultraviolet light degradation.

The completed lifeboat station is one of many projects commissioned and funded by the charitable Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and the application of the Sikkens ensures that the timber elements of the building are suitably protected against the sea-side elements of Cardigan Bay.
