The use of timber external claddings and internal linings continues to grow in popularity and for good reason – timber is aesthetically pleasing, a natural insulator, lightweight, has low embodied energy, excellent environmental credentials and if specified correctly, provides a durable and beautiful long lasting design solution.
Whether it be the residential sector, multi-residential apartments, commercial offices or public buildings such as schools or medical centres, timber claddings and linings can provide elegant and functional solutions. The key however is proper design & specification - knowing what are the most appropriate products,where they can be used under current 2016 NCC regulations, and how to ensure compliance and fitness-for-purpose particularly for issues such as fire, durability and long term performance.
At this free seminar, international and local industry experts will present on the range of existing and new innovative wood products available for residential and commercial applications, how to design timber facades and cladding to meet current compliance requirements, the new innovations in thermally & chemically modifying and preservative treating of wood, and how to best finish and protect wood products to ensure the performance required.
