Wood: material of the future?
Weak points:
•Moisture sensitive
•UV-stability
•Dimensional
movements
•Resistance against
fungi
•Soft surface

Wood: material of the future?
Maintenance problems due to dimensional instability
and UV instability!

Solutions/ Alternatives?
• Use wood with high natural quality (as many
tropical hardwoods)
• Availability (mid term, long term)
• Sustainability
• Use of wood preservatives
• Toxicity issues
• New biocides with low impact
• Only durability item solved
• Use of new technologies for wood treatment
• Wood modification!

Challenge: wood species
• Selection of right wood species
– What are criteria?
– macroscopical versus microscopical distribution of chemical
