  • Course Description: AEC Daily: Acetylated Wood: Discover the Difference for Siding, Decking, and More

    ONGOING - FREE - 1 HOUR

    Wood is both beautiful and practical but lacks long-term durability when used outdoors. Acetylation changes the material properties of the wood at the molecular level to improve its stability and weathering capabilities. This course reviews the acetylation process, its impact on wood performance, and how and where this type of wood can be used. Also discussed are the green features of acetylated wood and how it can contribute toward earning points in the LEED® v4 green building rating system.
