Whilst this publication can still be purchased some of the information in it has been superseded by more recent research and standards. The BRE Group does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any loss or damage, including - without limitation - indirect or consequential loss or damage arising from use, or loss of use, of data or profits arising out of, or in connection with, the use of this document.

The latest findings from BRE’s programme of long-term field testing of timber out of contact with the ground are presented. This shows that new active ingredients for joinery preservatives are able to provide increases in the service life of timber joinery, while offering improvements in certain health and safety respects. The tests also show that spruce is innately more durable as a joinery timber than Scots pine sapwood, confirm that application of solvent-borne preservatives by means of double-vacuum treatment is more effective than immersion treatment, and indicate that the use of simple water-repellent treatments alone without active ingredients may not provide sufficiently effective protection against decay. 4 pages.
