Our Interactive Wood Window & Door CPDi has been included in this week's edition of SpecifiedBy CPD email. If you are an #architect , #designer or #construction professional and haven't signed-up to this weekly update, then we'd recommend. See https://t.co/c9nroxneIQ #CPD
This is very exciting! @CTI_timber we do hope plastic windows will be avoided based upon the independent reports on wood window frames made to the WWA specification - with negative Global Warming Potential over their estimated 60 year life service . . .
We are very excited to be partnering with @MOBIEhome and @RiversideSund to deliver a national design competition for students in the UK to create the low carbon homes of the future using sustainable timber. More details coming soon! https://t.co/yvGhAvl6x5
It is indeed astonishing how incorrect assumptions can then be perceived as fact. Our blog 'It's Time to Rethink Wooden Windows' focuses on the facts not fiction – see https://t.co/4ZlwKN99RP #WoodCO2tsLess#Builditbetterwithwood
Great article from @Wood_for_Good - Forestry in the UK: Sorting the facts from the fiction. We know that our colleagues @woodwindowall continue to put the record straight about the durability and longevity of wood windows - amazing how incorrect assumptions perpetuate.
Performance, Quality, Carbon Footprint . . . it’s all down to the specification. For guidance on #wood#window specification, visit https://t.co/DWpiTYDYMK - not all windows are built to the same standard so #checkthespec

If you’re looking for #window inspiration, our collection of member case studies will help spark design creativity. The Old Police House project in #HydePark is a recent addition – see https://t.co/yfJe0MlT3P @HeronJoinery
Our members like a challenge. Read how our member @GeorgeBarnsdale carried out additional testing for the sympathetic replacement of over 400 windows for the No 1 Palace Street project in London – see https://t.co/xIOFCpXdG0 #WednesdayMotivation
Our colleagues at the BWF have updated COVID 19 guidance, which now includes an update on the closure of showrooms. See https://t.co/dBnwwYhsBL for more information. #COVID19
A whole-life carbon approach to the built environment is the practical path towards #NetZeroBritain – an approach in which sustainably sourced timber will play an important role. Find out more in our latest blog: https://t.co/Gdwz7CkaU5 #WoodCo2tsLess
The Government are to review Right to Build Laws . . . but education is still needed about which materials help reduce a home’s carbon footprint. Check out the #WoodCo2tsLess campaign to learn about the use of sustainable wood to help reduce CO2. See https://t.co/IVTXIHSTbW
What better way to start the week than to explore how low carbon spaces can be achieved by substituting high carbon building materials for timber – see https://t.co/J5ksuK4R7d #architecture#WoodC02tsLess
With the #GreenHomesGrant scheme, there has been much emphasis upon operational carbon. For #netzero, we need to be thinking about the whole-life carbon assessment. Find out more in our circular Economy CPDi module - https://t.co/jyPonmYSwj
In the office (well remote office), we really like the key objectives of #PlantheWorldWeNeed. @RTPIPlanners we'd love to chat with you about sustainably sourced timber window frames – we have a wealth of research for your members.
If you’re looking for #inspiration, our collection of member case studies will help spark design creativity. From timber bi-fold patio doors for modern extensions, to traditional box sash windows for heritage replacement projects - see https://t.co/mT3zOLVu7e #woodwindows
Damaged and incorrectly fitted doors won't perform as they should in the event of a fire - i.e. hold back smoke and flames. Neither will a propped open fire door. Find out more at https://t.co/B2Bv6979MK #FireDoorSafetyWeek
The value of EPDs for #LCA is recognised by architects aiming for #NetZero. So why are manufacturers reluctant to produce them?
Our webinar on 24th Sept explains what’s involved, the costs and the value of #EPD to manufactures & suppliers.
