Durability

Durability is the ability of a species to resist decay either naturally or through preservatives. The Class is based on the ability of the heartwood (inner part of the tree) to resist fungal decay. The sapwood (the living outermost portion of the tree)is considered not durable and should not be used for external projects without preservative.

BS EN 350 has 5 classes of durability they are:-

• Class 1 Very durable (Such as Tropical Opepe and Iroko)
• Class 2 Durable (Such as , Oak, Imported Western Cedar, Red Grandis, Balau)
• Class 3 Moderately durable, Home Grown (UK) Western Red Cedar, Siberian Larch, North American Douglas Fir)
• Class 4 Slightly durable Home Grown Larch (Such as Home Grown (UK) Grow Douglas Fir)
• Class 5 Not durable (Such as Sitka Spruce)

Class 1 to 3 can be left as untreated timber, a natural ageing process will accrue e.g. Cedar will turn a grey colour. Class 4 and 5 will need to be treated with preservatives.
