Timber is Used Extensively for Interior Applications

Sponsored by WavinFeb 21 2007

Timber is used extensively in many building types for applications such as floors, walls, ceilings, joinery, furniture, etc.

While the appearance quality is a major factor in the selection of timber species, it is also important to consider performance characteristics such as hardness, moisture movement, fire resistance, etc, appropriate to the particular application.

Installation and finishing practices are also major factors which affect the in-service performance of timber products.
