Timber Preservation and External Finishes (AILA x WoodSolutions Webinar 4)

Not all wood is ‘naturally durable’, and ‘naturally wood weathers’. To preserve and protect our wood, and/or wood product look externally, it often requires some type of treatment or finish.
A number of wood treatment processes have been used since before the time of the Egyptians and new modern, environmentally responsible treatment products are constantly being developed. Timber protection specialist, Jack Norton, will explain this important topic, discussing the different hazard (H) treatment levels, the preservation products currently available, and the key points around design, specification, and maintenance.
Keeping wood looking good is the professional speciality of Gareth Connell, the National Specification Manager with Cabot’s Premium Woodcare Brands. Gareth will give you the ‘good-oil’ (pardon the pun), with his ‘External Timber-Coatings-101’ overview on the different timber finishing systems available for external wood products, the best finishing product to specify for different applications, and how to care and maintain them for optimal performance.
If making sure timber continues to perform and look good in external landscape architectural applications is your professional aim, then this webinar is a must see.
