The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) would like to invite you to a Lunch & Learn at Colab on Tuesday, June 06, 2023 from 12:30pm onwards.
The wide range of American hardwood species offer the architect and designer a wonderful palette of colors, textures and grains from which to make furniture and design interiors. What they do not offer however is a very durable wood species that can be considered for outdoor applications such as cladding or decking. Meanwhile, their use in structural applications has been somewhat limited by a lack of know-how. However, this is now changing through the application of new, and relatively simple, technology coupled with a readiness to explore timber as a material for a wider range of construction solutions.
Neil Summers, AHEC Technical Consultant and Roderick Wiles, AHEC Regional Director will help throw the spotlight on new and exciting possibilities for American hardwoods. As the world re-embraces timber as a building material, the hope is that timber will be recognized more for the possibilities it can offer in all aspects of design and construction.
