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 bit.ly/2UijfrS #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! bit.ly/3oyGUAy
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 bit.ly/2VUdbpu #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 bit.ly/35UHthG - 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 bit.ly/36IJoVY @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 bit.ly/3ffw3Za #WednesdayMotivation
Our colleagues at the BWF have updated COVID 19 guidance, which now includes an update on the closure of showrooms. See bwf.org.uk/covid-19-faqs/ 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: bit.ly/35Dp6xA #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 woodforgood.com/co2
If you’re looking for #wood #window inspiration, our collection of member case studies will help spark design creativity. See: windows.bwf.org.uk/inspirati…
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 bit.ly/3dtwXjA #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 - bit.ly/378wr9O
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 windows.bwf.org.uk/inspirati… #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 firedoorsafetyweek.co.uk #FireDoorSafetyWeek
An open #firedoor will not stop the spread of smoke and fire. Learn more about how fire doors save lives: firedoorsafetyweek.co.uk #FireDoorSafetyWeek
Window manufacturers will find this webinar on Environmental Product Declarations thought provoking. There's still time to sign-up . . . .
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.

Contemporary and period - we just love how WWA members can handle such delicate projects - good work @GeorgeBarnsdale
Work in progress, this contemporary extension on the back of this gorgeous period property is going to look stunning. #timberslidingdoors #sustainable #contemporary #architectural #architect #contemporary timber
Thanks for sharing @Housebuilderdev - we've had some amazing feedback about our CPDi - See cpdi.bwf.org.uk/
.@woodwindowall has invested in an interactive learning platform to help promote a better understanding of use of #timber in the built environment, therefore correctly specifying #wood products to help create truly #sustainable buildings ow.ly/gj6d30raVPE
Not that we are biased but . . . wood windows would help to create sustainable & beautiful homes. Take a look at our specification guidance to help you spec quality, durable and high-performance wood windows - bit.ly/3kwt5AS #Builditbetterwithwood
Speaking on our session about what makes a beautiful place, Nicholas Boys Smith from @createstreets says developers and those involved in placemaking need to relearn the confidence to aspire for the best for our communities #HomesEnglandConnects
