The waterproof structural integrity of WEST SYSTEM® epoxy makes it particularly suited for many architectural restoration projects. The Weald and Downland Open Air Museum in Sussex, UK, for example, has been able to preserve more original timbers using WEST SYSTEM epoxy than would otherwise have been possible. Moreover, if an ancient beam has lost its structural integrity completely, the museum builds a modern replacement which is camouflaged with a veneer taken from the original and bonded using WEST SYSTEM epoxy.
