Abstract
The paper presents the results of the research on the use of eco-friendly impregnation materials to reduce cracking in load-bearing timber elements. The behavior of pine elements was studied when impregnation materials based on linseed oil were used. Statistical data are given on the reduction in the growth rate of the length and width of cracks, in dependence on the number of protective layers of the finishing material. The effect of the absence of cracks on timber elements during atmospheric drying is described, taking the use of a three-layer paint and varnish coating into account. The effect of increase of timber structures durability and corresponding cost and material consumption reduction in timber structures have been proven.
