New Wood windows book and standard pack

 Coinciding with the publication of TRADA's Wood windows: designing for high performance, BSi have published a new standard BS 644: 2009 Timber windows. Fully finished factory-assembled windows of various types. Specification.  TRADA have, therefore, added a pack containing both to the Bookshop at a reduced rate for both TRADA members and non-members alike.

 

Changes in the building regulations and new codes of practice, such as the code for sustainable homes, are already having a significant effect on the design of windows.  Expanded and fully illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings, the 3rd edition of TRADA's windows design manual outlines significant changes to traditional design methods and forms of construction, in order to meet the higher performance increasingly demanded of wood windows.  BS 644 specifies requirements for the design, construction and performance of fully finished and glazed factory-assembled timber windows of various types, making it the perfect companion to the book.  "In TRADA's experience, architects are increasingly specifying wood windows for their appearance, sustainability and performance against these ever-tougher specifications" said author Patrick Hislop RIBA, TRADA's senior consultant architect.

 

TRADA members and non-members alike make a saving of up to £7.50 (on top of usual member discounts) when ordering this pack.  

 

Each can also be purchased separately through the TRADA bookshop via the links below:
