Abstract

Many historic buildings give testimony to long-term durability of correctly designed structural timberwork. Preservation is a valuable tool but avoiding risk is always preferable to dependence on defensive measures. Preservation treatment of common building carcassing and joinery timbers is relatively inexpensive and consequently, with little consideration of its actual need is frequently specified as a low premium insurance.
