Holiday home in Blåvand with more than 300 m² of wood panels and an eye for detail

More than 300 m² of wood panels bring warmth and calm to a holiday home in Blåvand

When Rasmus Thorlund Staal, owner of RS PROFFBYG, set out to build the family's holiday home in Blåvand, the ambition was clear: this time, they wanted to surpass themselves.

The holiday home was designed around the family's own ideas and built with a focus on warmth, a cosy atmosphere and plenty of wood. More than 300 m² of products from I-Wood Denmark® have become a recurring feature throughout the house - from Pro+ 6-Lamella ceiling panels with brown felt and clear oil to UniPanel® and coverings around windows and other details.

From ceiling panels to a complete solution

Rasmus was already familiar with I-Wood Denmark®, but the holiday home in Blåvand was the first time he worked with the products himself. Following a recommendation, Daniel Mosekjær Royer, Sales and Advice at I-Wood Denmark®, visited the construction site.

Together, they walked through the house, took measurements and discussed the possibilities. The initial focus was on the ceiling, but as Rasmus discovered the different solutions available, the project expanded.

”I found out what I-Wood was able to produce, and then there were several other elements they could supply. In the house, all the window reveals, a veneered feature wall, the reveals around the VELUX and standard windows, as well as the ceilings, were made using I-Wood products.”
- Rasmus Thorlund Staal

Daniel introduced Rasmus to UniPanel® among other solutions and recommended brown felt for the ceiling panels.

”I showed him lots of pictures and the new UniPanel® panels, and he wanted them on one wall. I recommended brown felt for the acoustic ceiling panels, as he also felt it created the calmest expression.”

Easy installation and a cohesive finish

For Rasmus, the choice was not only about the look. As a tradesman, he was also focused on how easy the products were to work with.

In a previous holiday home, he had installed individual slats himself. It achieved the desired result, but it was a time-consuming process. That made I-Wood Denmark®'s installation solution particularly important this time.

”The ceiling system in particular - the fact that it comes as a complete panel instead of lots of individual slats - works really well from an installation perspective and saves many hours compared with fixing individual slats one by one.”
– Rasmus Thorlund Staal

UniPanel® also made an impression:

”It was easy to work with - almost too easy. The look and quality are really impressive.”
– Rasmus Thorlund Staal

The matching coverings and finishings also helped make the work easier and create a cohesive finish.

”Everything matches, which makes both installation and the final finish much easier.”
– Rasmus Thorlund Staal

The details make the difference

The level of detail and the "warmth" of the house are among the qualities Daniel Mosekjær Royer highlights in the finished holiday home. Although his work has taken him to many exclusive holiday homes, the house in Blåvand stands out.

”I have visited many different holiday homes, and it often seems that the more exclusive the look becomes, the colder it can end up feeling. But Rasmus has managed to bring in that warmth without compromising on the exclusive feel or the details. It is cosy, warm and impressively beautiful - both inside and out. It is the kind of place you want to spend time in.”
– Daniel Mosekjær Royer

Rasmus has carried out the craftsmanship himself and worked consistently with the details throughout the house. This aligns well with an approach Daniel sees as an important part of I-Wood Denmark®'s solutions: considering how the panels are finished at walls, corners and windows as part of the overall solution.

”He has a real eye for detail. And that is exactly what we believe we are good at at I-Wood too: paying attention to the details. You do not have to invent your own way of making it work.”
– Daniel Mosekjær Royer

The acoustics were a positive surprise

The wood has given the holiday home the warmth and cosy atmosphere Rasmus wanted from the outset. But another quality made an even greater impression than he had expected: the acoustics.

The house features several hard materials and open spaces, and Rasmus finds that the ceiling panels make a noticeable difference.

”I would highlight the sound - the acoustics. I am incredibly impressed by the acoustics. I did not expect it to be this good. It works really well with the other hard materials.”
– Rasmus Thorlund Staal

The family notices the effect particularly clearly on the upper floor. Rasmus finds that the sound is reduced to such an extent that the children can spend time upstairs without the noise taking over in the living room below.

For a holiday home designed for family life, guests and relaxation, this has become an important part of the overall experience.

A project that became the start of more

The holiday home in Blåvand was Rasmus' first project with I-Wood Denmark®, but not his last. Since then, he has used the products on several projects, and his collaboration with Daniel has grown closer along the way.

For Rasmus, it is about both the products and the opportunity to discuss solutions when new ideas arise.

"I had a really good collaboration with Daniel. He came up with ideas, was keen to make things work and was good at seeing possibilities rather than limitations."
– Rasmus Thorlund Staal

And the question of whether he would choose I-Wood Denmark® again has therefore already been answered in practice:

"Yes, I have done so many times since. It has almost become an established collaboration. It is because of the product, and the collaboration with Daniel works incredibly well."
– Rasmus Thorlund Staal

Frequently asked questions about acoustics and wood panels in holiday homes

Why can acoustics be a challenge in a holiday home?

Many modern holiday homes have large, open-plan living spaces, high ceilings, large windows and hard surfaces. When sound is reflected between hard surfaces, reverberation can occur. Acoustic panels from I-Wood Denmark®, for example, can help absorb sound and create a more comfortable acoustic environment.

Can acoustic panels be used in rooms with many hard materials?

Yes. Acoustic elements can be particularly relevant in rooms with large areas of glass and other hard surfaces. I-Wood Denmark®'s acoustic panels combine wood and felt and can help reduce reverberation and create a better balance between the different materials in the room.

Can wood panels be used on both ceilings and walls in a holiday home?

Yes. Wood panels can be used on both ceilings and walls and can also form part of smaller interior details. I-Wood Denmark® offers different solutions that allow wood to be repeated throughout the interior, creating a clear sense of cohesion in the holiday home's design.

What are the benefits of matching coverings and finishings?

Matching coverings and finishings make it easier to create a cohesive result around windows, corners and transitions. At I-Wood Denmark®, the focus is on solutions where the finishings are considered as part of the overall design, helping create a carefully completed result while making installation easier.

Are wood panels easy to install?

It depends on the specific panel system. I-Wood Denmark® focuses, among other things, on making installation simple and efficient. The panels are supplied as complete elements rather than individual slats, which can reduce the number of work steps and save time during installation. This makes the solution suitable for both professional tradespeople and larger projects.

How do you create a warm holiday-home atmosphere with wood?

Wood can be used as a recurring material across ceilings, walls and details to add warmth and structure to the interior. The colour of the wood, the surface treatment and the choice of felt also influence whether the overall look is light, contrasting or calmer and more tone-on-tone.
