Hydrophobic Modifiers for Restoration of Old Wooden Buildings in Western Siberia

Abstract

The paper deals with the issues of restoration of the wooden architecture monuments in Western Siberia by using the technology of wood modification. In order to modify the elements of the wooden buildings under restoration the authors studied hydrophobisators based on organic-silicone compounds. We have also defined the compositions and technologies of wood modification at the restoration of the wooden architecture monuments. Thermally modified wood may be used for restoration and replacement of the base courses of the wooden buildings.
