Understanding "Wood Aesthetic" Cladding and Soffit Technologies

Description

The look of “Wood” provides warmth in a building design that cannot be achieved by masonry, metals or other building materials.

This learning unit will provide an in- depth overview of current “wood” design technologies natural and synthetic.
