Is
There A Reduction In Strength Compared To
|
|
Untreated
Wood?
|
|
|
ò Yes. The
treating and drying processes cause a
|
|
á reduction in strength that varies with
treatment,
|
|
á species of wood, applications and
specific properties.

|
What
Type of Fasteners Should Be Used With FRTW?
|
|
|
ò Galvanized
steel hardware is recommended. Although
|
á the FR treatment does not
increase the corrosion of
|
|
á bare steel, the galvanizing process
provides an extra
|
|
á margin of safety. Particularly in wet
environments
|
|
á such as with exterior FRTW.
