Timber Floors & Decks: Reducing Risk seminar

Timber remains one of the top choices for flooring and decking. However, choices made at the design and installation stages can impact appearance, durability and maintenance requirements. This seminar to be held on 17 September at Victoria Park Golf Club in Queensland will address these and other issues. Source: Timberbiz
