Online learning to deepen your timber know-how — from specification to strength grading
We’re pleased to announce an exciting new webinar series launching this September, designed to equip specifiers, designers, and construction professionals with the essential knowledge to make informed decisions about timber and wood products.
Running fortnightly from 3 September 2025 to 1 April 2026, this expert-led series covers a comprehensive journey from tree to timber — including moisture behaviour, durability, coatings, engineered products, and much more. The sessions are ideal for anyone who wants to build confidence in timber specification, performance, and material understanding.
