Acetylated Wood: Durable, Stable, Sustainable Wood for Windows, Doors, & Siding

Wood is both beautiful and practical but lacks long-term durability when used outdoors. Modified woods change the material properties of the wood at the molecular level to improve its weathering capabilities. This course discusses one type of modification: acetylation. We discuss the process, its impact on wood performance, the life cycle impact of acetylated wood, and how and where this type of wood can be used.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
