This CPD reviews the specification considerations for timber cladding and the associated issues. It introduces the acetylation process and the improved performance features of Acetylated Wood and explores how Acetylated Wood reduces the risk of problems with timber cladding and increases design scope.

This CPD focuses on the topic of acetylated wood, its features, benefits, applications, sustainable credentials and the relevant specification considerations. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:
- What acetylated wood is and acetylation
- The benefits of acetylated wood
- The key considerations for specifying acetylated wood
- Common uses of acetylated wood

This CPD deals with the specification considerations for timber cladding and the potential problems. The manufacturing process and the features of Acetylated wood and how Acetylated wood can reduce the risk of problems with timber cladding and increase design scope.

The learning aims of this CPD will cover:
1. The specification considerations for timber cladding and the potential problems.
2. The manufacturing process and the features of Acetylated wood.
3. How Acetylated wood can reduce the risk of problems with timber cladding and increase design scope.
4.You will also see some real-life scenarios and case studies where Acetylated wood has been chosen for its superior performance.

By the end of this CPD, delegates should:

1. Have an understanding and clarifying the potential problems when specifying timber cladding.
2. Know how the process of Acetylation works and how if offers the benefits from it.
3. Be familiar with the features and benefits to now know how to reduce the risk of problems with timber cladding.
4. Be able to identify specification opportunities and look at case studies to highlight increase in design scope.
