Free Live Interactive Webcast - New Ideas and Innovation In Building Materials - North America

12:05 PM - 01:05 PM

This course will examine concrete slab moisture and how it will impact a flooring system. We will review how slab moisture originates, how that impacts the soundness of the flooring system, what failures may occur and how to address moisture issues. Concrete, moisture testing, substrate examination and systems that resist or control moisture will be reviewed. Participants will benefit from this instruction learning how to select moisture testing or mitigation systems and will be able to make the best decision on appropriate measure to manage slab moisture challenges for a successful, sustainable and sound flooring installation.

Profiles provide a smooth, seamless transition whether installing as a project necessity or to create a decorative flair. Join us in this one-hour course as we explore how these small metal workhorses solve challenges such as edge protection and expansion joints, provide safety by increasing visibility and slip resistance, and increase aesthetics by adding a sophisticated finish. Our discussion will include ADA Considerations, examine green building certifications, and conclude with case studies. After this course, participants will be able to expound on in detail the variety of profile solutions that meet an array of transition challenges.

This course examines the use of thermally modified woods in sustainable building practices. Through this course, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the thermally modified wood process, its environmental benefits, and its applications in architectural design. We will explore the science behind thermal modification, its impact on wood properties, and its advantages over traditional wood treatments. Additionally, the course will address key considerations for specifying, installing, and maintaining thermally modified wood products, equipping attendees with the knowledge needed to incorporate this innovative material into their projects. Discover how thermally modified woods are reshaping the landscape of sustainable construction and contributing to a greener future.
