Application
DUO beams are particularly suited for applications which require building components with a high level of structural stability. Some examples are the construction of air-tight buildings, timber frame constructions, building frames or loft conversions. Here the benefits come into their own especially for visually sophisticated constructions that need to satisfy high architectural, aesthetic or design demands. In particular, if it is preferable to avoid the use of popular timber treatment chemicals, then this building material is perfect. Duo/Trio beams can be used in both indoor and covered outdoor areas (application class 1 and 2 which comply with DIN 1052). As with normal solid wood, extreme climatic changes should be avoided e.g. direct exposure to the elements. DUO beams are suitable for use as building components which are exposed to aggressive chemicals.
