Selecting Solid Wood Floors for Heritage and Retrofit Buildings

Description

This presentation discusses the many ways solid hardwood floors can provide technical, performance and sustainable solutions for heritage retrofit and refurb projects. It details the most common scenarios a specifier might encounter and what is needed before installing new floors in old buildings.

The CPD covers how selecting a durable material with a long lifespan and low embodied carbon will have a positive impact on the building’s whole life carbon assessment and in turn the environment, how the choice of flooring impacts the building’s historical integrity, and its adaptation to a more sustainable operation system.
