Seminar
Flame retardant MDF and OSB for use in construction
Flame-retardant, engineered wood-based panels have opened up endless possibilities for construction projects. But how does the technology work? What benefits do the panels provide? And what do architects need to know in order to specify them with the confidence? This CPD will explore the fundamentals of fire, how it spreads, key terminology that is often misunderstood, the testing involved in fire certifications, differences between timber that has been coated or treated during manufacture and the fundamentals of specification of these panels. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:
- The basics of fire and fire spread within a building
- How flame retardant treatments provide enhanced levels of fire protection
- The testing required to achieve fire certifications
- How to differentiate between materials that have been treated during manufacture and post-treated materials
- The fundamentals of specifying flame retardant wood panels
