Introducing a suite of easy to use creative resources from Timber Framing – The Ultimate Renewable™.

T3 Green has no VOCs, but what’s a VOC? Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, are emitted as vapours or gases from a wide range of chemicals. In fact, most human-made and naturally occurring odours are VOCs. However, some VOCs are dangerous to human health or cause harm to the environment.

What are Appearance Grades? Whilst this classification bears no relationship to structural performance of any glue laminated timber (GLT) members, it's important to consider for the sake of your intended aesthetic.

Treatment preservatives can improve the durability of timber by acting to repel wood destroying insects (such as termites, white ants and borers) and breaking down fungi spores that lead to wood rot.

Termites can cause serious damage to your home if left unchecked. However, despite the horror stories, termites move quite slowly, and you can usually spot an infestation before they get a chance to do much damage to your home. Here are a few common-sense checks that you can do, to keep your house healthy and minimise your termite risk.

As exterior timber is exposed to the elements, it is subject to UV radiation, moisture and fungal growth which can all have a degrading effect on the appearance and performance of timber. Coatings provide protection against the elements and help extend the life of timber - while enhancing the final aesthetic.

T2 Blue framing is designed for protection against termites found in areas south of the Tropic of Capricorn, while T2 Red is designed for protection against termites found north of the Tropic of Capricorn.

Camber adds extra structural support to a wide span or space and is used in long spans with the purpose of counteracting deflection due to load.
