sustainable woodland management in Wales. More than 400 businesses now regularly use Welsh hardwoods and the Welsh softwood supply chain is being reinvigorated with the success of the innovative Tŷ Unnos (House in one Night) building system. This evolved from an initial concept from Coed Cymru with partners in Bangor University, the Design Research Unit at the Welsh School of Architecture of Cardiff University, Cowley Timber Works and Burroughs engineers. The project was awarded the TRADA 75th Anniversary research funding in 2010.
Other sponsors and exhibitors are equally diverse, bringing together the many-faceted timber industry from the UK and overseas under one roof (see list below). The show is backed by TRADA Technology and sister companies BM TRADA Certification, Chiltern International Fire and FIRA International will be exhibiting.

• SIPS and timber frame seminar theatres The UK Structural Insulated Panel Association (UKSIPS) will construct one of the 48 sq m show seminar theatres using SIPS technology, mirrored by Frame Wise who will construct the second theatre using advanced timber frame technology. Both offer a packed programme of free seminars over the two days of the show. The SIP theatre will form the heart of a ‘SIP Zone’ with a range of UKSIPS members exhibiting alongside.
The theatres will have a seating capacity of around 50 delegates per session and it is envisaged that some 30 presentations will be delivered over the two days of the show.
UKSIPS Chairman Andrew Orriss, Managing Director of Innovare Systems, said, ‘SIPS technology is making serious advances into the construction arena as developers and contractors realise the benefits this modern method of construction offers as a readily available, low carbon technology, either as a stand- alone solution or as a hybrid structure in conjunction with engineered wood products. There is a real thirst for knowledge, which we aim to address at Timber Expo.’
Programme 27th September 2011 Session 1 – Introduction to SIPS • What are SIPS? – a beginner’s guide to SIPS technology
• SIPS in practice – fast-track examples of SIPS projects
Session 2 – Designing with SIPS • What can be achieved using SIPS technology – an engineer’s perspective
• Pushing the SIPS boundaries – examples of extreme SIPS application
