Free WoodSolutions WEBINAR: Designing for Durability - Professor Jeffrey Morrell

Wood is our most renewable construction material, but it is susceptible to degradation by a variety of living and non-living agents under the proper conditions. The most important factor in deterioration is water which is why buildings are designed to exclude it or, where that is not possible, use preservative treated wood.

Professor Jeffrey Morrell will briefly discuss the requirements for wood degradation, some of the organisms involved and then discuss methods for preventing wood degradation.
