Daizen at BUILDEX Vancouver
February 1, 2012 – 5:00 pm
From Daizen News 1 February 2012
BUILDEX Vancouver is one of Canada’s largest tradeshows/conferences, with over 13,000 design, construction, and real estate management professionals each year. This year it happens February 8 and 9.
Daizen will be at Buildex Vancouver with the BC Wood Specialty Group, in booth 1809. We are launching our new timber accent system and will be displaying this exciting new product at the show.
There’s always a big crowd, so it’s a good idea to register in advance. The show is free for attendees if you sign up before February 6, but you must register too. (You can register online.) UPDATE—when registering, put in discount code BXV12 for free admission to the trade show.
See you there!
Nanoose: a study of elements
February 1, 2012 – 4:56 pm
from Daizen News 1 February 2012
The 20 units in the Nanoose townhouse development (Vancouver Island) were spruced up with timber elements that Daizen supplied to the site. The accents added rhythm, perspective, interest, and the beauty of natural timber without costing an arm and a leg.
Exterior elements include a header on the garage and some porch details.
Knee braces are traditional joinery: mortise and tenon pegged through the horizontal member. To make on-site work clear and easy, the assembly screws into the wall.
Our new timber accent system launches

From Daizen News 1 February 2012
Timber accents are a great way to add value to either a new house or an existing one. But creating the design and specifying details can be tedious and difficult—and, therefore, expensive.
Here’s where Daizen is stepping in.
We have invented a system of design components to adorn the façade of a building that still offers the flexibility to modify them as your project demands. You simply choose accent type (end, bracket, beam, truss), style, size, pitch (if appropriate), and quantity. We do the rest.
Here’s a quick look at our system.
This is the perfect use of your time. The designer, contractor, or building owner can select and order building components with ease. More complex requirements are an indication that
the variety of timber needed has “graduated” to a custom design. In this case, just send us your plans and we’ll develop a custom proposal for accents.
The Daizen Timber Accent System is fresh and new. We’ll be refining it for a while, so please visit our web site frequently to keep informed.
