About This Program
In reducing energy use to cut greenhouse gasses, HVAC systems have changed. With this change has come a wider range of interior temperature and relative humidity, leading to increased movement in wood and laminate products used in architectural millwork. Materials must be suitable for this environment, and design must take into account the dimensional changes over time. This tech talk will provide information on materials and designs that allow for this movement while keeping to the design intent.
Session Takeaways
- Identify areas within architectural millwork where movement will create problems.
- Learn how to select materials whose characteristics are suitable for the built environment.
- Design woodworking joints and transitions that allow movement to occur without detracting from the finished appearance.
- Learn how to avoid mixing materials with different types and amounts of movement to prevent failures.
