Essential Exterior Timber Design Seminar Timber: February 2018
Timber has always provided a stunningly beautiful choice for external applications including; cladding, decking, screens, boardwalks, jetties, landscaping, bridges and more. The use of timber externally continues to grow in popularity and for good reason – it is aesthetically pleasing, it has excellent environmental credentials, and when specified and installed correctly, provides a durable and beautiful long-lasting design solution.
Choosing the correct species, finish, treatment and installation process is critical to a successful design outcome.
The presentations from one of Australia’s leading timber-focused architect and other timber industry experts cover: the selection, design and use of timber in cladding, decking and other external applications (with project case studies), choosing the right timber finishes for exterior use, when and how to effectively use preservative treated timber, and the latest information relating to specifying timber in exterior applications in bushfire-prone areas.
This seminar was designed for building and design professionals including architects, building designers, engineers, certifiers, builders, regulators, educators and students.
The following presentations were delivered at The Library at The Dock, Docklands, Victoria on February 27th 2018.
