🔥Timber Connections in Fire-Exposed Conditions (1) One critical aspect that often sparks when discussing timber construction is its performance under #fire conditions, particularly concerning timber #connections. 👉 Why Timber Connections Matter: Connections are the weakest points in any structural system. When exposed to fire, these points are critical as they determine the overall stability and integrity of the structure. The behavior of timber connections under fire can significantly influence the safety and longevity of a building. Knowing how timber chars and applying fire-resistant materials like fire tape and gypsum fireboard are key to enhancing safety and resilience. #TimberConstruction #FireSafety #BuildingResilience
