1. Lightweight but strong
At Wood Products Victoria, we truly believe that wood is good! To show you why, we are supporting the Timber Framing Campaign, in association with WoodSolutionsTM and the Frame & Truss Manufacturers of Australia (FTMA). The campaign aims to get timber framing back in the conversation by sharing useful infomration and facts.
Did you know that:
Because timber framing is lightweight, it remains easier to handle, transport and install than many other building materials. But far from just being lightweight, it is also extremely durable, with proven structural performance.
● Timber has a high strength-to-weight ratio.
● Timber delivers strong structural performance without the weight of many alternative materials.
● Softwood timber delivers proven structural performance comparable to steel while weighing substantially less.
● Lighter materials can simplify transport and onsite handling.
● Less weight can mean easier installation and construction logistics.
