Timber treatment
Select timber treatment for your timber goods and reap the benefits of long-lasting, resilient, and structurally sound timber.
Timber is a natural substance, so it is prone to rot, deterioration, and insect infestation. This can result in structural deterioration, lowering the lifespan of your timber items and posing a safety risk. This is why timber treatment is so crucial.
Timber treatment is the process of applying chemicals to timber goods to prevent damage. This treatment method ensures that your timber products are structurally solid and durable.

Variety of Timber Treatment Options
There are numerous sorts of timber treatment methods available, each designed to maintain and enhance the inherent beauty of wood in unique ways. By selecting the appropriate treatment for your project, you can ensure that your woodwork is both attractive and long-lasting.
Clear
Unlike other types of timber treatments, clear treatments do not require the application of colour or pigments to the wood.
This means that the wood's natural colour and grain are preserved, resulting in a stunning, natural appearance.
Green
Green timber treatment is a sort of wood treatment that uses natural, non-toxic ingredients to prevent deterioration, rot, and insect damage. This form of treatment is great for people who like to avoid using chemicals and synthetic materials in their construction projects.
Green timber treatments are often created with copper, boron, or essential oils derived from plants or minerals. These treatments effectively protect wood from deterioration and can be utilised in a variety of applications, such as flooring, decking, and framing. Overall, green timber treatment is an excellent choice for people looking to protect their wood while reducing their environmental effect.
Brown
Brown timber treatments are primarily composed of synthetic compounds, such as copper azole or micronised copper, that are absorbed into the wood to give long-term protection.
This sort of treatment is widely utilised in outdoor applications, including as decking and fence, where wood is exposed to weather.
The added colour enhances the wood's innate beauty, giving it a rich, warm appearance.
Knotting & priming
Knotting and priming timber treatment is a sort of wood treatment in which a knotting solution and primer are used to prepare the wood for painting or staining. The knotting solution is used to seal any knots or resinous regions in the wood and keep them from seeping through the paint or stain.
The primer is then applied to the wood, resulting in a smooth, even surface ready for painting or staining. This treatment is suitable for people who want to complete their woodworking projects with a professional appearance. By sealing the knots and priming the wood, you can ensure that your paint or stain adheres properly and lasts for years.
