Why Wood? Advantages of Timber Ceilings
In our new RIBA-approved CPD presentation, entitled ‘Advantages of Timber Ceilings', we explore the design options including many project images and case studies.
Within our presentation there are a variety of samples to enable the audience to get a ‘hands on’ approach to the different wood systems available. We also include how our products with a long-life cycle have a positive impact on the environment, as well as being sustainably sourced.

Wood ceilings and walls introduce a beautiful and organic element that fits in applications from commercial ceilings to leisure centres and more. Our wood systems provide extensive design freedom for interior and exterior functionalities. Hunter Douglas is a market leader in ceiling systems and are well placed to give a technical overview on wood solutions.

Hopefully, this presentation will be of sufficient interest to include in your current or future CPD programme.

Ventilated and Integrated Façade Systems
The presentation is designed to inform architectural practices about the latest advances in ventilated rainscreen façade technology, and to dispel some commonly held misunderstandings.
- It will explain how only a truly open-jointed panel system can naturally ventilate a building and avoid the build-up of damaging micro-climates in the cavity behind the façade.
- Attendees will learn how to achieve maximum thermal performance and minimum cold bridges in both new-builds and refurbishments by using an integrated façade system.
- They will also discover that this level of performance can be easily achieved without the need to compromise on aesthetics.
