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 a tactile material connection with nature. Research has shown this can boost occupant health and well-being. A fact that not only benefits the occupants, but also 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 clearly explain the current NCC requirements for internal timber lining systems in Class 1-9 buildings. They will also look at the timber lining fire-related reports and technical manuals available; and discuss the types of timber internal products available including:
- their performance, installation and finishing requirements
- the key design considerations, how to specify them correctly
- the typical detailing considerations one might encounter and
- how to resolve them.
Flagship projects are also included illustrating and inspiring just how timber internal linings can deliver an exquisite, beautiful, healthy, and natural internal environment.
