NATIONAL TIMBER SYSTEMS REBRANDS PANELISED ROOF SYSTEM

BM TRADA is one of the UK’s leading experts on technical timber and offers a broad range of timber services and project support, including timber condition and structural surveys, expert witness services, timber identification, in-situ visual strength grading, timber frame consultancy and laboratory testing.

Technical timber sessions covering misconceptions when strength grading solid timber take place (27 April), modified woods and panel products (11 May) and understanding wood degrading insects and microorganisms (25 May).

NTS was formed in 2019 combining the design, manufacturing, and logistic capabilities of NTG companies Arnold Laver and NYTimber’s engineered wood products division. With the rebrand NYTROOF, the original gable to gable supply only system developed by NYTimber and launched in 2015, has become NTSROOF with a new logo and delivery wrapping. NTS will be introducing more innovative industry leading products soon as part of a NTSROOF range.

Ben Sharples continues: “While timber is likely to further increase in prominence as a primary construction material over the coming years, it can also be found in countless architectural and heritage projects, all of which are covered by a strict code of practice. We hope that by offering such an extensive programme of educational content we will be able to support all stakeholders, irrespective of the age or condition of a project, and help add clarity to some of the most persistent technical timber misconceptions.”

National Timber Systems (NTS), the specialist engineered wood products division of National Timber Group, has rebranded their panelised roof system, to bring it in as part of the NTS portfolio of products.

“The original NYTROOF was developed on the back of many years’ industry experience and expertise working closely with housebuilders,” said Philip Carney, NTSROOF Commercial and Technical Manager at National Timber Systems. We’re continuing that tradition providing a custom-designed offsite manufactured system that means contractors need to do less on-site.

“With the rebrand to NTSROOF we’re showing clearly that the products are available nationally from NTS. Over 7500 roofs have been supplied as NYTROOF to date and our customers include several national housebuilders. Demand continues to grow. Over the last year we have invested in our manufacturing sites and expect to have the capacity to produce 3000 roofs in 2023.” www.nationaltimbersystems.co.uk

As well as providing the advantages of offsite manufacturing, such as dimensional accuracy and safer working on-site due to less time at height, NTSROOF is robustdetails® approved which eliminates the need for on-site sound testing. NTS has a turnover of almost £50million. There are 240 employees across the division’s four sites in Yorkshire, the North East and South West England and work is underway to open a new site in the Midlands. Other NTS products include gable and party spandrels, trussed rafters, engineered joists, and floor and roof cassettes.
