wooden envelope

Maintenance systems and costs for wooden façades

The influence of the wood construction sector has been increasing for a while, becoming a driving force in the building industry. Durability is the main challenge when using this material in buildings, since wood undergoes several degradation phenomena that can alter both its appearance and the performance of components a few years after installation. Wooden envelopes are the elements that suffer the most from this deterioration, which in common practice is remedied only with pre-treatments, performed on materials during the production phase.
