  • Treated Softwoods

Why pre-treat softwood timber?
  • Extends useful service life of timber components
    • Optimises an already strong environmental profile
    • Maximises value for money
  • Allows timber resource to be used to its full potential
    • Lower cost, sustainable, plantation grown softwood species with low natural durability can be used in a wider range of applications
    • All parts of the tree section can be used, including the vulnerable sapwood, so minimising waste and optimising resource utilisation

Industrial Wood Protection
  • Low Pressure treatment for lower risk applications (Use Classes 1-3)
    • Mainly water based, organic systems with solvent based systems for joinery
  • High Pressure treatment for higher risk, external applications (mainly Use Classes 3 & 4)
    • Water based, copper/organic formulations
  • Industrial Fire Retardant treatment
    • Options for internal and external use
