The treatment of wood with the used monomer silanes, according to current research results, does not lead to a lasting stabilisation of dimension (reduction of moisture expansion and of shrinkage). Silanes are nevertheless useful to influence specific characteristics of wood. High water resistant effects with simultaneous low influence on absorption behaviour as well as increased resistance to biological degradation caused by a variety of micro-organisms is part of the efficiency profile of this treatment.
