  A number of different of factors influence building fire safety. These include provisions for escape routes in the event of a fire, as well as the building's ability to resist and limit the spread of fire. The use of fire-rated boards in buildings can help to provide passive fire protection to a structure and its occupants. In contrast to active fire protection systems, such as hydrants, which must be activated or operated in order to function, passive fire protection systems, such as fire rated boards, do not require any switching on or activation. The use of fire ratedboard as structural elements in the construction of a building helps to protect people's lives by reducing and preventing fire from spreading internally and externally. Fire rated boards can be used in any type of false ceiling where there is a high risk of fire or heat. Designers can use fire rated boards to improve the acoustics of rooms and improve the acoustic performance of a space by properly designin...

  Sliced veneer is one of the finest uses of timber veneer in Australia because it’s real timber. One cubic meter of log can be used to produce around 1000 square timber veneer in Australia. No other woodworking material except sliced veneer can result in such a huge yield. Sliced timber is a thin layer of timber of uniform thickness, which is normally between 0.5 mm and 0.85 mm. Timber veneer in Australia is a natural and renewable resource which is competing with non-renewable commodities like steel, plastic and aluminium. The benefit of slicedveneer is that you can get the look and feel of real exotic wood at a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, when you use timber veneer in Australia, you help to protect the environment because many projects can be completed with sliced veneer rather than the real hardwood log. The grain characteristics of timber will vary depending on how it is sliced. By joining and staining timber veneer leaves in various ways, a wide range of designs c...

  Lightweight plywood has a plethora of applications and benefits. Aside from weight, lightweight plywood has the same properties as all other types of plywood. When it comes to lightweight plywood, hardwood with veneer core is the preferred option, which is made of a fir core covered on one side with a wood-grain veneer. Sometimes lightweight plywood is made by pressing wood chips together, and other times it is made by compressing finely ground wood particles into sheets. The process begins with steaming a log before mounting it on a lathe. The log is then peeled to reveal a thin layer of wood in the form of a continuous veneer sheet. A single veneer sheet obtained in this manner is strong along the grain but weak across it. To address this issue, lightweight plywood manufacturers glue several layers of veneer together, alternating the grain direction between the layers. Some manufacturers produce lightweight plywood at a lower cost by using chips of wood rather than a conti...
