As shown in the details, there are many possible variations in form and material for light wood frame construction. The specification of materials is dependent on many factors including desired performance, environmental footprint, cost and availability, and aesthetics. This material guide shows some of the possible options for deconstructable and sustainable materials for all layers of a construction, and compares their performance and cost per square metre.
There are many materials possible for every kind of light wood frame building, and the layers depicted here are meant only as reference for possible material selection. This selection of materials is not meant to endorse any specific brand or type of material but rather compares the value and performance of different materials.
