 October 8th in Melbourne saw Forest & Wood Product Australia officially launch the new
Wood Naturally Better campaign on behalf of the Australian Timber industry. See the website at
www.naturallybetter.com.au.
Wood Naturally Better has been developed, in line with other world wide timber initiatives,
to show how using timber can play a part in tackling climate change. The promotional programme
is designed to target both professionals and consumers and will comprise of advertising and
national activities to get the message out to the very broad Australian community.
This campaign will run for the next 5 years and will, in this implementation stage, concentrate
on the environmental benefits of wood. Wood stores carbon, a well known but little understood
fact, which will be the focus of the early advertising material.
All timber companies which engage in advertising or general marketing, such as web sites,
yellow pages, buying directories or the like should consider incorporating the Wood Naturally Better
focus into their own activities and TDA would welcome inquiries for resources or the scope to
utilise logos and or the ads that have been developed.
If you or your company have any ideas that may improve, compliment or expand the activities
of the Wood Naturally Better campaign or you want access to the resources please

New long span timber beams resource |

The online long span timber beams resource
A
great new resource
has recently been added to the
timber.net.au
website to help the public correctly use engineered timber supporting beams. If you're considering
building a house with steel supporting beams, you really don't want to miss this. Timber supporting
beams are cheaper, safer and easier to implement than their steel alternatives. Their popularity
has been somewhat limited, however, by a lack of publically available information on how best to
incorporate timber beams into building design. Our new resource aims to correct this.
The
online resource
addresses the issues most critical to builders, designers and the general public. It outlines,
crucially, the advantages of engineered timber beams over steel beams - and provides an image
gallery which makes clear the considerable aesthetic advantages of timber supporting beams.
Different types of long span timber beams are listed together with the scenarios in which they
are typically used. Design strategies for the implementation of long span timber beams are also
considered, and means of selecting and procuring the beams are outlined.
This essential new resource is available both as an
online resource
and as a
downloadable document (PDF, 2.7 MB).
Development of the resource was funded by Forest & Wood Products Australia.
