Description - Timber Preservation Guide by Edgar M Stubbersfield

The main emphasis of this brief guide is to understand the issues relating to treatment in weather exposed applications. This Guide will briefly look at some theory relating to timber treatment and show the requirements of AS1604.1. This is followed by a more detailed look at practical matters associated with treatment and includes discussion about whether much of the Standard that specifiers rely on can actually be achieved. My concern has been that the designer is left with a sense of false security as on many occasions "preservation" of sawn timber simply has not been achieved. The Guide concludes with a number of case histories where what is learnt about preservation and natural durability throughout the following pages is applied to difficult durability applications.
