The objective of this CPD presentation is to enthuse and inform architects about specifying hardwood internal and external doors. It also includes detailed information about Passivhaus doors.
The presentation is both engaging and informative and allows architects to get their hands on samples, sections and cut-aways (we always find architects love getting to grips with the actual products).
We include a large number of quality photographs of UK and international installations showing a wide variety of specifications and settings.
The presentation normally takes about 40 minutes and there is an opportunity for a question and answer session at the end.
The learning outcomes are:
• Improved ability to specify hardwood timber doors
• Understanding Passive House doors
• Awareness of challenges with hardwood doors
