The resulting next generation Tanalised timber is now available from leading treatment companies and stockists through the UK and Ireland and will be the main feature of Lonza’s attendance at Timber-Expo. Also featuring on the Lonza stand will be the latest developments with its high performance, tried, tested and trusted fire retardant treatments for timber – Dricon and Non-Com Exterior.

In July 2012 Lonza Wood Protection (formerly Arch Timber Protection) launched Tanalith E 8000 wood preservative, the company’s next generation timber treatment, throughout the UK and Ireland. Tanalith E 8000 is the culmination of extensive research, technological evolution and rigorous testing, and will provide an innovative and improved performance for construction, fencing and outdoor treated timbers. It answers market demands for proven protection with improved quality, value and performance. Pressure treatment with Tanalith E 8000 combines the benefits of the unique and proven core Tanalith E product that now has over 20 years of proven performance around the world, with an extra patent pending blend of ingredients, known as BARamine technology, to boost its performance. This cutting-edge technology provides improved activity against standard fungi and various copper-tolerant organisms, along with a more consistent and deeper penetration of the preservative into the timber. These are all key elements in achieving the very best protection against decay and insect attack, particularly for the home grown species used in the UK and Ireland.

This year Dricon celebrated 25 years as the only BBA certified fire retardant treatment for timber and Non-Com Exterior has just received the highest accolade from the UK Wood Protection Association (WPA) in becoming a fully ‘approved’ fire retardant treatment. Already a ‘listed’ product within the WPA Flame Retardant Quality Scheme, the new ‘approved’ status makes Non-Com Exterior the only leach resistant type product within the scheme. Dricon also carries this ‘approved’ WPA status. Non-Com Exterior is also now accepted by the NHBC for the protection of exterior cladding timbers on new build projects. www.archtp.com www.lonzawoodfamily.com

Frame Wise Takes Centre Stage Frame Wise Ltd will be building and showcasing a broad range of timber solutions designed to stimulate delegates and heighten awareness of the range of timber systems available from Frame Wise. Frame Wise was an integral part of the show in 2011 and this year has taken that commitment to a new level. Frame Wise has taken a stand at the show but has also built the super-structure Seminar Theatre 2 which will host a series of high-end speakers including the only Olympicfocused seminar: ‘the timber legacy’ presented by Noah Bold from the Olympic Delivery Authority. Simon Orrells, Frame Wise managing director comments on Timber Expo and why it’s right for Frame Wise to take center stage: “We’re a pretty bold business in the way we attack the construction industry and we have the luxury of working with some of the UK’s leading social housing providers, housebuilders and private clients. We are incredibly serious about the future of timber in construction and it’s vital that we take the bull by the horns and demonstrate

Sponsors of the Visitor Guide Visit us on stand G1

the broad range of timber solutions available to clients. In terms of building the seminar theatre it wouldn’t be Frame Wise if we didn’t push the build project to the absolute limit – the whole point of Timber Expo is that we leave delegates feeling excited about timber – we’re confident the ‘Frame Wise House’ will showcase the capability of timber in delivering cost effective and future proof accommodation.” Frame Wise has developed a unique approach to the construction of the two-storey structure and has ‘flipped’ some of the walls so delegates can view the interior make-up of the products in-situ. The house also features a number of screens which will showcase the building of the structure. Simon continues: “This is the most exciting structure within the exhibition and we are anticipating huge numbers coming into the house – whether that’s attending a seminar, carrying out a media interview in the VIP area or meeting as part of the Buyers Forum – it’s essential that we make the flow as seamless as possible. www.framewiseltd.co.uk

Norbord, the UK’s leading producer of woodbased panel products, will present its three core products – Sterling OSB, Caberdek particleboard flooring and Caberwood MDF – at this year’s Timber Expo using a stand made entirely of its own products. The focus of Norbord’s message at the show is the inherent sustainability of softwood products from managed forests. All of the products manufactured by Norbord make efficient use of sources of wood fibre that were once regarded as either waste or low-value byproduct. Sterling OSB will provide the walls of the stand, while Caberdek boards (complete with their moisture-resistant protective film) will be used for the floor. Stand furniture is to be made from Caberwood MDF – a staple product for furniture and interior fit-out.

otherwise be sent to landfill or burned. Norbord’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact extend well beyond its choice of raw materials. An important environmental initiative is Norbord’s extensive use of biomass to provide heat energy for its production lines. Residues arising from the production process fuel biomass boilers at each of Norbord’s four European factories. Over the past decade, this has allowed Norbord to reduce its consumption of fossil fuels by over 75% and, today, the company is the UK’s largest generator of renewable heat energy.

Sterling OSB and Caberwood MDF are both made from forest thinnings – small diameter logs from young trees which are felled as part of sustainable forestry practice to allow space for larger trees to mature. All of this timber is harvested locally in Scotland which not only benefits the local economy but also reduces lorry miles to a minimum.

Among important new developments is the development of the Caberfix Pro fixing kit for installers of Caberdek flooring. Each kit includes everything needed to install 50sqm of floor and incorporates Norbord’s new Joint & Joist moisture proof adhesive. Also on display will be the new No-Squeak adhesive developed for builders in the refurbishment and maintenance sectors.This flexible gap-filling product is designed to accommodate movement in new floors and prevent the previously widespread problem of squeaky floors.

Caberdek particleboard flooring is made from up to 80% recycled wood which would

Timber in Construction (TiC) is a high quality, full colour publication that features all of the latest news, industry developments and in depth features on the world of timber frame construction, engineered wood and associated products. As timber continues to challenge steel, brick and block as a construction method, more and more people want to know about the benefits of using timber as a building material. Not only is the material better for the environment as a sustainable and renewable resource, it helps stem the growth of global warming by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Timber frame construction is also cheaper, faster to erect, more energy efficient and creates less construction waste.

TTJ also publishes Timber & Sustainable Building, the leading UK title for the rapidly developing timber construction sector, which is read by architects, housebuilders, contractors, developers, engineers and surveyors. It also has a website: www.timber-building.com.

TiC is distributed to a wide range of construction professionals including contractors, engineers, architects and specifiers. Whatever service or timber product you sell or supply TiC offers a guaranteed readership of informed decision makers that are targeted by our controlled distribution based on reader requests and subscriptions.

American Softwoods is the umbrella name for two trade associations – the Southern Forest Products Association (SFPA) and the Softwood Export Council (SEC). SFPA’s members are based mainly in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas and Georgia. They produce Southern Yellow Pine, the generic name for Shortleaf, Longleaf, Loblolly and Slash Pine. SEC’s members are located in Oregon and Washington. They produce Hemlock, Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar. Most US softwood exported is for nonstructural uses. Interior applications, such as doors, windows, frames, mouldings, flooring, panelling, and other millwork is a prime destination for both Pine and Fir species.

Furniture parts and glued panels are also a destination for softwood lumber. Western species, such as Douglas Fir and Hemlock, in the clear and other upper grades are prized in Europe for wood window and door stock and frames. For strength, long lengths and large sections of solid lumber the Pacific Northwest is the place to go. When it comes to building outdoors, pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine lumber remains the number one choice and when compared with alternative composite products now entering the market, treated Southern Yellow Pine outshines the competition hands down. www.americansoftwoods.com

Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) The Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) PEFC is a global, non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management through independent, third party certification. With some 30 endorsed national certification schemes – including the Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme (MTCS) and the US Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) – and more than 240 million hectares of certified forests, PEFC is the world’s largest forest certification system. PEFC is committed to conserving forests and their invaluable biodiversity and safeguarding the livelihoods of the communities and families that own, work and live in and around them. The organisation works throughout the forest supply chain to promote best practice in the forest and ensure that timber products are sourced with respect for stringent ecological, social and ethical standards. Its distinctive ‘Green Trees’ logo enables ready identification of products from responsibly-managed forests. The Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) was established in January 1992 to promote the development and growth of the Malaysian timber industry. MTC's main objectives are to promote the Malaysian timber trade and develop the market for timber products globally, to promote the development of the timber industry by expanding the industry's manufacturing technology base, provide information services to the timber industry and to protect and improve the Malaysian timber industry'sglobal image. The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) program was launched in 1994 as one of the USA forest sector’s contributions to the vision of Sponsors of the Visitor Guide Visit us on stand G1

sustainable development established by the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. With 79 million hectares certified across Canada and the United States, SFI has strong acceptance in the global marketplace, delivering a steady supply of timber and wood-products from legal and responsible sources. The UK Contractors Group (UKCG) now stipulates that all timber products purchased for either temporary or permanent use on member sites should be certified as legally and sustainably sourced, as defined by the UK Government’s Central Point of Expertise on Timber (CPET). The UKCG policy gives clear and transparent preference to products that demonstrate compliance with responsible sourcing schemes and certified by a third party that maintains an unbroken chain of custody. www.pefc.co.uk www.mtc.com.my www.sfiprogram.org

Hybrid combines the advantage of the long life and low maintenance of aluminium externally with all the aesthetic and performance benefits of engineered timber internally. Hybrid’s aluminium profiles can be supplied fully powder coated using Senior’s in-house facility, one of the largest and technically most advanced in the country. The result is single source responsibility, minimal maintenance and maximum lifetime performance.

Choice of appearance Hybrid windows feature either lacquered or painted timber internally. As the internal surfaces are fabricated from engineered timber, there is no requirement to paint as there are no knots to obscure. Externally, Hybrid offers a choice of finishes in polyester powder paint – virtually any RAL colour in either gloss, satin or matt. An anodised external finish is also available.

Product Range The Hybrid family comprises the Series 1 range of traditional composite windows and doors, the Series 2 contemporary collection of commercial slim-line windows and the Series 3 composite curtain wall system.

Lifecycle Hybrid offers minimal maintenance throughout its serviceable life and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life.

Thermal efficiency Hybrid windows offer the thermal efficiency of timber combined with the latest glass technology to produce U-values well below the current and anticipated future Building Regulation requirements. Low maintenance Hybrid provides the advantage of fully pretreated engineered timber internally, so any possibility of warping or twisting is eliminated. This, combined with the benefits of powder coated aluminium windows externally, means maintenance is minimal.

All timber used in Senior’s Hybrid range of products is sourced only from PEFC-certified sustainable sources. The system is designed and manufactured within the UK, and is fabricated by an approved network of UK companies under a typical supply and fix subcontract. Designed and manufactured in the UK, Hybrid is fabricated by a network of UK companies which makes it an ideal solution for both newbuild and refurbishment projects where site measurement is required.

Approximately twenty years ago we were involved in the manufacture of the first Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) in the UK, designed specifically for the building industry. Then thirteen years ago, in conjunction with Siptec, we erected what may have been the first SIP building for habitation in the country. Through working with a number of other SIP manufacturers over the past thirteen years, we as a company have seen the mistakes and pitfalls made by others and are in a unique position to redeem these problems within our company.

With our vast experience and industry knowledge we provide a one-stop shop facility allowing us to tailor a build package that ideally suits every client's requirement. Sips UK are at the forefront of offsite and fast track building systems. We employ modern methods of construction (MMC) whilst manufacturing all of our SIPs systems in house. We appreciate that SIPs are a relatively new innovation and that clients who have never used SIPs before are naturally sceptical. At Sips UK we have the patience to listen to our client's brief and to assist where required, thus enabling you to make an informed decision as to which solution bests suits your particular project.
