landscaping & external works TRADA Technologys’ timber connections guide
TRADA Technology Ltd has published its new concise illustrated guide to timber connections, a guide to one of the most critical aspects of timber design. The new guide details the main structural forms for which timber is suitable, the range of the most common connections used to assemble these forms and what they might look like. Timber’s appeal as a structural building material is now on a par with steel and concrete thanks to the gradual adoption of the Eurocodes and the development of the supply chains. In addition, timber’s sustainabil-
ity credentials have further increased its popularity. enq.263 Timber trade in for an ‘easi-ride’ with BSW
Following a competition to launch BSW Timber’s new ‘easi’ range, 20 lucky winners from the UK timber trade are pedalling away with a high performance Easi Rider Viper DS mountain bike. The Easi Rider giveaway was open for entries from February 1 – April 30 and was the first of a range of promotional activities devised to
raise the profile of the easi range, which was expanded in January 2012 to include construction, fencing and decking products, as well as sleepers, pallets and pack- aging. Using the distinctive ‘Timber Made easi’ branding, the campaign has enhanced BSW’s product portfolio.
enq.264 Tanalised Clear providing wood protection at Durham University
A number of buildings at Durham University’s Durham Project, a major redevelopment, have been clad with Tanalised Clear pressure-treated timber, protected using Lonza Wood Protection’sTanalith M metal-free wood preservative. Barclay Roofing has created a Tanalised Clear pressure-treated Western red cedar rainscreen system that curves around the walls of the buildings, part of the Gateway section of the Durham Project. The rainscreen system has been designed both as an attractive finish in keeping with the Gateway development’s goal for an environmentally sustainable rebuild, and to prevent water getting to the structure of the building. Barclay Roofing installed the rainscreen under contract to the main contractor, Laing O’Rourke. As well as providing up to 30 years protection against possible decay and insect attack, Tanalised Clear pressure-treated timber is also protected from certain fungi, which can stain or discolour the wood. This new and innovative treatment helps retain the natural colouration of the wood, keeping it looking cleaner and brighter for longer. Barclay Roofing managing director Paul Trelease said: “We were asked to use Western red cedar because it’s an attractive and versatile timber that doesn't split and has a long life.”
