Mass Timber Moisture Management During Construction

Sub Title Goes Here

Mass timber projects have unique considerations regarding managing moisture during the construction phase, and choosing the appropriate level of protection should consider climate, schedule, risk, and budget. This presentation will provide an in-depth review of the various options and best practices for devising a comprehensive plan. It will also review common moisture management strategies, including factory-applied coatings, construction sequencing, temporary storage, tarps, curtains, and waterproof membranes. By exploring proven strategies and case studies, attendees will gain valuable insights into mitigating moisture-related issues in mass timber projects, ensuring occupant health, and optimal performance, aesthetics, and longevity of the building.

Bonus content – attendees are invited to stay for the end of the non-accredited portion of the webinar featuring WoodWorks Partner Element5 for a manufacturer Q&A. Learn more about their products and services and how they can be a resource on your next project.
