Brief Description

No longer an unusual feature on buildings in the UK, the design, installation and performance of external timber cladding on new construction nevertheless continue to generate detailed questions from architects, specifiers and contractors. In response, Edinburgh Napier University’s Forest Products Research Institute, an acknowledged central point of expertise in this field, has produced External Timber Cladding: Design Installation and Performance. The result of extensive research, testing and detail development, this new publication provides the user for the first time with evidence-based information on how to respond to the contradictory demands of moisture control and fire, the two biggest issues affecting the use of timber on building facades. Divided into six clearly distinguishable sections, the book offers easily referenced guidance to current legislation, detail drawings and answer to the majority of questions surrounding a subject that is technically more complex than it might at first seem.
