A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Wood windows: designing for high performance is the definitive design manual for architects, manufacturers and contractors, researched and written by TRADA, experts on timber.

Designing for new levels of performance is the biggest challenge window manufacturers have faced in decades. Changes in the building regulations and new codes of practice, such as the Code for Sustainable Homes, are already having a significant effect on the design of windows. With modern factory painting and glazing, wood windows are a relatively low maintenance solution.

Indeed architects are increasing specifying wood windows for their appearance, sustainability and performance against ever-tougher specifications.

Now expanded and fully illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings, this third edition of TRADA's windows design manual outlines significant changes to traditional design methods and forms of construction, in order to deliver the higher performance increasingly demanded of wood windows.

Wood windows includes guidance on appearance, statutory requirements, performance, specification, detail design, glazing, fittings, finishes, installation and maintenance.
