Prolam have created some exciting new products recently with their PLX Portal and Column bracing systems, providing a healthy alternative to structural steel, by reducing thermal bridging. These products could be a game changer for designers, engineers and builders looking to build better buildings for people and planet. https://www.prolamnz.com/
Potius Building Systems have been instrumental in the design and testing of these new products. https://www.potius.co.nz/
However, sometimes steel is unavoidable and that is where Thermal Innovation comes in to the calculation. https://www.thermalinnovation.co.nz/
The format of the event will be as follows
1. Introduction

3. Prolam will present on their new products including the PLX Portal and Column bracing systems, with demonstrations of these.
4. Andy to discuss the testing, testing facilities and product development required.
