Timber used Externally - Selection, Design and Finishing
This seminar will outline strategies to achieve optimum durability performance of timber products, and will discuss selection of the appropriate coating products essential to maintain visual appeal and ongoing performance of wood.
Timber has been successfully used in building for thousands of years, with many built hundreds of years ago still in active service. Timbers natural warmth and appeal is as strong today, supported by a diverse range of timber products, treatments and finishes. By carefully considering the key factors that influence the durability of timber, designers and builders can satisfy their design objectives and achieve or exceed an appropriate design life.
