Pressure treated timber is wood which has been pressure impregnated - the most advanced, universal fixed

wood preservative.

PRESSURE TREATED timber can be used in all building, fencing or garden applications and in the most extreme environments, even in contact with fresh or sea water. PRESSURE TREATED timber is the perfect material for the manufacture of our garden buildings.

Pressure Treated timber is treated to perform to it’s eventual end use. Once installed the timber needs no further maintenance against rot for many years although a paint, stain or water based repellent should be added when required. We have buildings in Gardens that are more than 30 years old.

After treatment, the preservative chemicals become totally ‘fixed’ within the timber cells and cannot be washed out. The treated timber is totally safe to man, animals and plants and is permanently protected against decay. If water penetration occurs a water-based repellent should be added.

Please note that pressure treatment does not waterproof your building, we recommend treating the exterior of your building with Protek.
