Choice of Treatments

If you’re an architect, engineer, landscaper or contractor working with wood, you’ll know your choice of timber is vital to the look and cost of a project. However, in terms of longevity and performance, it’s important to consider specifying an industrial, factory applied pre-installation treatment – they fall into 3 categories:

Wood Modification

Flame retardants work by making wood more difficult to ignite and by slowing the rate at which a fire can develop – allowing more time for escape

Heat or chemical modification processes change characteristics of timber – such as improved durability and dimensional stability 

Timber preservatives for softwood  components applied by pressure impregnation, provide tailored levels of protection from decay and insect attack.
