Veleton.cz, Building Fair Online 2023 advises builders in challenging times
/0 Comments/in News /by Ivana DuchoňováFor the fourth time, the largest online construction trade fair at www.veleton.cz will take place on 28-29 January 2023. On the digital platform, experts from building material manufacturers, technology, installation and construction companies will connect with those interested in building, housing, renovation and heating.
The Timber Institute has become an expert partner of the event and will provide independent advice to visitors of the fair.
Participation in the event is free for interested parties and builders. After registering at www.veleton.cz/register , they will receive an access code to enter the platform during the fair. They can then connect from the comfort and safety of their home from a computer or mobile phone.
At the online event, interested parties can watch dozens of live lectures, consult with specialists, directly discuss their needs and problems in this challenging time, and also compete for interesting prizes from the exhibitors.
Facts and figures from the previous event are supplemented by Ing. Ivana Duchoňová, director of the fair: “A year ago, over 12,000 visitors showed interest in the online fair, more than 10,000 of them signed up for the live lectures, during which the exhibitors gave them competitive prizes worth over CZK 300,000.”
Ing. Petr Novák, co-founder of the fair, comments: “Based on hard data from the three completed rounds, we concluded that our online fair created a valuable space for the needs of investors and suppliers, manufacturers in the construction industry. The fact that one visitor spent an average of 2 hours and 38 minutes in his free time at the event can also be evidence.”
Visitors will get a lot of useful information at the fair.
Expert advice is also provided by the fair’s partners – the Association of Prefab House Suppliers, the Passive House Center, the Timber Research and Development Institute, the Guild of Stove Makers, the Guild of Heaters and Plumbers, the Czech Peleta Cluster, the Association of Entrepreneurs in Shading Technology, the Czech Chamber of Light Exterior Walls, the Guild of Mechanical Locking Systems , Guild of tinsmiths, roofers and carpenters.

Invitation to the WOOD CAMP LIVE lectures
/0 Comments/in News /by Ivana DuchoňováOn 3-4 November 2022, a two-day professional seminar WOOD CAMP LIVE held by ADMD will take place at the OREA Congress Hotel Brno. Discover the opportunities of digitalization, the potential of robotic production and learn how to create buildings that even nature loves. Lectures and workshops led by sought-after experts on the topics of design and implementation of wooden buildings will be held in parallel in the individual halls of Vision, Design and Implementation.
On Friday, 4 November at 10:20 a.m. there will be a lecture of the Timber Institute on the topic “Testing of floor compositions against leakage” with the possibilities of the new testing equipment RotaFloor, which will be presented by the director Jitka Beránková and the head of the department of wooden buildings Václav Motejzík.

RotaFloor – new options for testing floors and tiles with certification
/0 Comments/in News /by Ivana DuchoňováThe Timber Institute has developed and put into operation new testing equipment that brings the possibility of testing not only traditional wood-based materials, but especially tiles, whether ceramic, concrete, terrazzo or large-format parts.
However, this area is not as remote from the scope of the Timber Institute as it might seem at first glance. One of the main sources of problems in modern wooden buildings is the waterproofing of bathrooms and other spaces, which are traditionally equipped with ceramic or similar tiles. Knowing the properties and resistance of these surfaces should also lead to new research tasks in this field in the future.
The device is unique primarily because it was developed in the Czech Republic on the basis of available and standardized information, in close cooperation with the Silicate Association and its leading expert, Dr. Eduard Justa, the companies WOODEXPERT s.r.o. and GIS Engineering. There are only units of similar devices in Europe.
RotaFloor, as the Timber Institute’s test facility was named, allows for accredited tests of pavements and other floor constructions according to several foreign standards.
The principle of testing is the movement of specific wheels loaded with standardized forces on the floor surface. As part of the development, it was necessary to solve the issues of exact load, speed regulation or converting the requirements of the American standard into the metric system.
Today, the facility is in full operation, has successfully passed the accreditation process and is used, among other things, for the preparation of planned research on the long-term waterproofing of bathroom floors in wooden buildings.
