The solution involves traditional methodologies used in the area of conservation and restoration of wooden artworks and is especially relevant to timbers in heritage buildings. It consists in the sequential application of a biocide product and a consolidant by impregnation. The efficiency of the proposed solution is tested with destructive and non-destructive laboratory and in situ tests.engTimberConservationHeritage buildingsWood treatmentWood consolidationMadeiraConservaçãoEdifício patrimonialTratamento de madeiraConsolidação de madeiraconference object
