Non-Combustible & NFPA 285 Tested Wood Aesthetic Technologies for Commercial


08:05 AM - 09:05 AM
The look of “Wood” provides warmth in a building design that cannot be achieved by masonry, metals, glass or other building materials. Natural wood may not be an option for Class 1-3 (40’+) Commercial project due to combustibility, but newer composite and synthetic products replicate the look of natural wood and provide the fire performance required for Class 1-3 Commercial projects. They may also provide superior color retention and life-cycle performance while requiring little to no maintenance. This learning unit will provide an in-depth overview of “wood” design technologies that meet code requirements for Class 1-3 Construction.

How It’s Made: Today’s PVC


09:10 AM - 10:10 AM
PVC products have been around for 100 years. They’re common in the construction industry because of their durability and long life. But old PVC manufacturing practices still cause concern for some of today’s specifiers. This course will address those concerns head-on. We’ll talk about today’s manufacturing processes and how recycling is transforming the industry. You’ll see how PVC resin becomes a strong and beautiful product using the example of vinyl fencing. With the understanding of today’s regulations, collaboration, and green-building practices, you’ll have the confidence to specify today’s PVC products.
