description Performance of wood preservatives or coatings as surface treatments products is closely connected to different needs and requirements. This paper investigated the protective efficiency of such products, on fir wood exposed outdoors for 7 years, in a modified L-joint test. The evaluation refers to degradation as result of the combined action of the biotic and non-biotic factors, active in use class 3. Two common non-destructive methods were used to evaluate the wood exposed outdoors: visual assessment and microscopic evaluation. Rating of the exposed faces showed that untreated control samples presented the most severe biological degradation and cracking. Surface bioprotection minimised discolouration and was generally a beneficial treatment prior coating. The surface treatments investigated in this paper generally delayed the degradation phenomena but could not provide an efficient protection over a long exposure period.
