The biological resistance of wood This refers to the ability of wood to resist the action of organisms that cause its degradation. This applies primarily to fungi, mould, wood-boring insects and microorganisms that thrive in conditions of high humidity. The level of biological resistance depends on the species of wood, its moisture content, density and conditions of use.
Wood with high biological resistance is used in more demanding operating conditions without the need for intensive treatment. On durability The condition of the material is also influenced by ensuring the structure is properly protected against damp, adequate ventilation and the use of protective measures. In the construction industry the biological resistance of wood is of significant importance for the durability of roof, frame and façade structures.
