Structural Timber:
SUSTAINABILITY made simple
The Structural Timber Association (STA) exists to represent the collective interests of our members. By providing confidence in the use of structural timber, the STA has a mission to increase specification across the construction industry. Supporting the objectives of the sector, the STA works to influence legislation and regulation. Connecting construction professionals, we support and collaborate with members to showcase the many benefits of structural timber. The STA provides exclusive benefits to members including our STA Assure Quality Assurance Scheme, research and testing, networking opportunities, and direct engagement with government and industry bodies.
RESEARCH
& INNOVATION
To support our members and as part of our continuous
development programme, to give confidence and certainty to clients wishing to specify structural timber for their project, the STA has collaborated with various industry specialists to produce new fire research on timber frame systems and mass timber.
QUALITY STANDARDS
STA Assure is our Quality Assurance Scheme that provides
confidence in the use of structural timber and
determines member competency and compliance.
TIMBER BUILD SYSTEMS
There are four primary structural timber technologies, each providing highly energy efficient,
sustainable, quality systems for use in house building and commercial projects. With low
embodied carbon, these build systems offer design flexibility, with offsite manufacture
processes ensuring quality and precision.
