Description
Timber continues to be one of the most desired and popular internal lining options, and for good reason. Wood is a natural environmentally friendly, carbon storing material that provides functional performance, aesthetic beauty, and a positive and tactile material connection with nature, and which research has proven can boost occupant health and well-being - A fact that not only benefits the occupants, but also it has been shown enhances the value of the property, translating into higher rental return and selling prices.
Getting the optimum internal timber lining system solutions for commercial and public buildings requires a good understanding of both the regulatory compliance requirements and the key design and specification details.
In this WoodSolutions webinar, our expert presenters will clearly explain the current NCC requirements for internal timber lining systems in Class 1-9 buildings and the timber lining fire-related reports and technical manuals available; and also discuss the types of timber internal products available - their performance, installation and finishing requirements – the key design considerations, how to specify them correctly and the typical detailing considerations one might likely encounter and how to resolve them. A number of flagship projects will also be included illustrating and inspiring just how timber internal linings can deliver an exquisite, beautiful, healthy, and natural internal environment.
