Abstract
Molds are very important problem for wooden buildings materials and various methods have been developed to protect wooden material against insects, termites, fungi and molds. Increases concerns about the risks associated with the use of synthetic preservatives have encouraged the development of more natural protective methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mold resistance of scots pine sapwood treated with geothermal water obtained from different regions of Turkey such as Ankara, Afyon, Eskişehir and Denizli. The highest retention (4.37 g cm-3) was achieved concentrated Ankara geothermal water while the lowest retention was achieved by natural water from Afyon. Maximum protection against mold was found with concentrated Denizli geothermal water. The best results were obtained at the end of the 2nd week. No statistically significant differences in mold resistance were observed on samples treated with geothermal water from all regions and exposed to fungal attack for longer time periods.
