Great course with useful information. I am familiar with Geolam products and have specified them (Vertigo 5110) for cladding and soffit applications on a multi-family medium rise apartment building. It is a wonderful product, clean and easy to install and pretty much maintenance-free. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the 7 other product categories which were marked for comparison. Presenter was great, cut to the chase and provided the good stuff which we needed to learn. Good educational course and I highly recommend it to all Architects, especially the info on Geolam because it has been trending for quite a while now. Thank you.

Understanding "Wood Aesthetic" Cladding and Soffit Technologies

FREE

The look of “Wood” provides warmth in a building design that cannot be achieved by masonry, metals or other building materials. Natural wood is a traditional option, but newer composite and synthetic products replicate the look of natural wood but offer superior color retention and life-cycle performance while requiring little to no maintenance. This learning unit will provide an in- depth overview of current “wood” design technologies natural and synthetic.

Credits: 1 AIA HSW + 1 AIBD Primary + 1 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA Structured LU + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA

Length: 1h
