Materials are expected to perform their functions throughout their lifespan. A decrease in performance may be observed over time in facade materials exposed to climatic conditions. The most important parameter affecting the load-bearing capacity of wood-glass composite facade materials is the connection between the wooden frame and the glass panel. Therefore, it is important to consider the impact of environmental factors on wood-glass composite facade materials and the connection performance. In this study, it was aimed to examine the strength of wood-glass composite facade materials created with different types of solid wood and to observe their performance under the effect of accelerated aging. In this context, experiments were carried out on small-scale specimens using softwood and hardwood species. Three different solid woods; pine, beech and oak, silicone-based adhesive and tempered glass were used in the experiments. The mechanical strength of wood-glass composite specimens before and after accelerated aging was measured by shear and pull-off tests. Accelerated aging tests include resistance tests to freezing-thawing, wetting-drying, exposure to high temperatures, acids and UV light. The data obtained from this study were analyzed by comparing them with the experimental results carried out using birch plywood in the research project within the scope of the WoodWisdom-Net Program. The test results reveal that the use of solid oak wood in wood glass composite facade material generally shows better performance in terms of resistance to atmospheric conditions. It also reveals that the type of solid wood has an effect on adhesion and shear strength as well as durability.
