Natural timber is gorgeous; and has been the building material for eons! It still has a huge place in our heart even amongst the multitude of new technological advances in the construction industry. Timber is a natural product and, like all products of nature including us, it is neither consistent nor guaranteed free of defects. Prone to warping, twisting and splitting, sawn timber is still widely used. West Fraser leads the way in the manufacture of innovative timber panel products and has done for decades.
Today’s wood panel products are among the best-known examples of engineered wood. SterlingOSB Zero, the leading brand of OSB, is a vital component in many so-called ‘Modern Methods of Construction’.

he comprehensive product range offered by waterproofi ng and timber treatment specialist riton Systems, part of the Wykamol Group, has proved to be the perfect fi t for a ent self-builder undertaking his fi rst self-build project in challenging ground conditions. he solution recommended by ykamol Groups technical team is typical of the manufacturers double indemnity approach, employing both tanking and internal drainage products, ensuring any water which does penetrate the structure is safely removed in this case by gravity rather than using a sump pump. Internally, the walls are lined with the BBA approved ykamol-ritons M aterproofi ng Membrane, while a layer of M20 will be laid across the top of the oor slab. Both of these products are made from high density polyethylene and are installed with their mm or 20 mm studs against the face of the concrete. hey will drain into the manufacturers Auachannel which will be installed around the entire perimeter of the basement and conduct any water outside to connect with the land drains. Sureproof ltra comprises a very stable polyethylene fi lm offering a consistent reaction to longitudinal and transverse forces, having been developed for the waterproofi ng of basements, foundations, walls and at or ventilated roof structures. he self-adhesive material is self-sealing and forms an effective barrier against methane and radon while being resistant to chemicals and physical damage.
