CHASSIS CACHET
Luke Stocks, marketing manager at WJ Group, reports on the company’s TTJ Award-winning timber chassis
WJ Group has introduced an innovative timber chassis designed specifically for leisure homes, lodges, and smaller units. This cutting-edge product has officially launched into the market following the successful approval of two patents.
The timber chassis represents the culmination of more than three years of intensive research and development by WJ Components, the timber engineering division of WJ Group. Established in 2007, WJ Components has a long-standing reputation for delivering value-engineered timber solutions to the leisure industry, including roof trusses and I-beams. This timber frame chassis, winner of TTJ’s Timber Innovation Award 2024 [sponsored by ECC Timber Products], reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to advancing sustainable alternatives for traditional materials.
