The British Woodworking Federation (BWF) will be providing technical advice on wood product specification, with particular focus on the design, specification and performance of timber stairs, accredited domestic and common stairs and advances in certified fire-rated common stairs.
In addition, the BWF-CERTIFIRE Fire Door Scheme will be answering questions on fire doors and the Wood Window Alliance will introduce the latest research on the life-cycle of timber windows. The BWF and its schemes are at stand 7D494 at W14 and will be part of the Timber Industry Accord stand, X5, at Timber Expo.
Other highlights this week include the launch of the Timber Industry Accord manifesto (1pm on Tuesday October 7 at stand X5), and a number of CPD seminars throughout the show. John Fletcher, consultant for the Wood Window Alliance, will present on the journey the WWA undertook to find the evidence supporting the life-cycle analysis, whole life cost and service life information for timber windows. This will be part of the Timber Toolbox Talks on Tuesday October 7.
Kevin Underwood, BWF technical director, will also give a Toolbox Talk on Wednesday October 8 on the fundamentals of staircase design and installation, including the latest technical guidance from the BWF Stair Scheme.
Dave Campbell, BWF marketing and training manager at the BWF, will give his talk as part of the Timber Focus seminar programme on Wednesday October 8. He will be presenting on how the timber industry can attract talent and grow business through developing the full potential of its people.
