Timber is light-weight which has a wide range of benefits. But being light-weight means extra attention needs to be paid to the acoustic design. Some understanding of acoustics is recommended for all ...
Timber is lightweight, strong for its weight, and renewable, making it an increasingly preferred material for modern construction. With advances in engineered wood products (EWPs) and mass timber cons...
The soaring timber structure that rivals steel and concrete in strength, but with the warmth and aesthetic charm of natural timber. Glued Laminated Timber (GLT), also called glulam, makes this possibl...
CLT combines the strength and dimensional stability of engineered timber with the simplicity and speed of panelised construction. It enables high-performance timber buildings that are efficient to ass...
Main differences between timber frame and post and beam construction:In a lightweight frame standard-sized timber components are spaced relatively close together (typically at 450–600 mm intervals) ...
In service, uncontrolled moisture can trigger dimensional instability, biological degradation, corrosion of connections, surface damage, and in extreme cases, structural failure. Effective timber desi...
Key considerations for those specifying or purchasing recycled timber include the variable nature of the material, the importance of thorough discussions between buyers and suppliers, and the necessit...
The FWPA Standard has been taken through a formal public review process under the guidance of the FWPA Recycled Timber Standards Writing Committee. Key considerations for specifiers and purchasers inc...
