International Timber, an importer and distributor of bespoke, sustainable timber and panel products, has become the newest affiliate partner of the Joinery Network. The partnership will see the Joinery Network provide specialist training and certification to joiners and manufacturers of OH Industri door products, of which International Timber is the sole UK distributor.
The range includes exterior-grade door blanks and an insulated panel range which can provide savings on production time and enable external doors to be fully compliant with future U-values dictated by Part L of the building regulations. The Joinery Network has tested the door blanks and insulated panels to meet PAS 24:2016 and Secure By Design standards.
In addition to ensuring industry standards are upheld, the collaboration will also aim to support joiners, architects, merchants and manufacturers in the UK via webinars, regional events and with customised sample packs. Will Frost, International Timber’s national product manager for engineered and laminated, said: “We believe our new affiliation with the Joinery Network will help us to support and inform architects, specifiers and manufacturers on all things timber, and demonstrate the value engineered lamination can provide to UK production. I would encourage anyone in the sector who is looking to use innovative quality, engineered timber materials to sign up to the specialist training to become certified in using OH Industri products.”
Owen Dare, the Joinery Network’s founder director, said: “We are incredibly pleased to welcome International Timber to our co-operative. The Joinery Network was set up to bring together a complete range of products, services and support for timber windows and doors manufacturers and installers. There is a significant demand in the industry for a certified, fully tested and superior timber system, and we’re delighted to be playing our part in rolling out quality training to help organisations achieve this.” To register for the Joinery Network’s webinar with International Timber, on OH Industri products, email hello@thejoinerynetwork.co.uk.
