Non-Combustible & NFPA 285 Tested Wood Aesthetic Technologies for Commercial Projects
FREE
Description
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.
