The key design properties of structural wood based panels are set out in a document produced by TRADA Technology.

TRADA Technology received EU funding to research the bending, tension, compression and shear of the panels and has concluded they have potential for greater use in housing, light office accommodation and other similar fast track, prefabricated construction.

Potential end uses and factors affecting selection are also covered in the publication, available from TRADA Technology for £5. For a copy call 01494 569600.
