Although timber is classed as a low embodied carbon construction material, different timber products will have different embodied carbon values depending on the energy inputs during processing and transportation.
Metal bearing-type connectors provide a structural connection and are an efficient, engineered solution for effectively joining timber members and transferring loads.
Ideal for large-scale construction, timber panels are easily workable, available in a range of sizes and lengths, and can incorporate different treatments, such as moisture and fire resistance.
The combination of strength properties and modern manufacturing processes means cross laminated timber (CLT) is a versatile and reliable construction material.
Depending on its natural durability and desired end use, timber and timber products may benefit from extra protection offered through preservative treatment.
