New timber cladding and refurbishment pack

 With the release of TRADA's new Wood Information Sheet, WIS 1-50 Timber cladding for building refurbishment, we have added another new pack to the Bookshop.  When customers order the pack containing External timber cladding (TRADA) and Eco-refurbishment: a practical guide to creating an energy efficient home (Elsevier), they will receive the new WIS for free.

 

WIS 1-50 Timber cladding for building refurbishment offers conceptual solutions and reviews weatherproofing, transmission of moisture, membranes, drained cavities, insulation and fixings.  The refurbishment of buildings that are structurally sound is increasingly popular. Timber cladding can be applied to the external face of existing walls to improve their appearance or weather resistance. Cladding may also be used to protect additional insulation applied to the exterior of a building.

 

External timber cladding is now established as the definitive guide to timber cladding and design, and this second edition reflects significant growth and innovation in the market for cladding materials. Refined details and technical information in keeping with the regulatory framework are included.

 

 Eco-refurbishment provides a comprehensive outline for architects, designers and homeowners to convert a house into a more 'green' home. For those concerned about the environment this book presents key changes that can be implemented to remedy energy loss.  It includes the full range of design changes available for renovation and features a selection of case studies illustrating the experiences of homeowners and designers in how they have adapted and used the technology available.

 

Purchase all three as part of this new pack and you will receive the WIS for free plus a reduction in postage costs, representing a saving of up to £14.50.

 

To purchase this pack or for further information, please visit the TRADA Bookshop.  Alternatively, you can contact the publications team on 01494 569602/ and we will be happy to help.
