Pressure-treated timber

ALSO KNOWN AS PRESERVATIVE TREATED TIMBER OR TANALISED TIMBER

Pressure-treated wood has been preserved with chemicals during its manufacture. The wood is placed in a vacuum treatment chamber, which removes all the air from its cells. After this, the vacuum forces wood preservatives deep into the wood. These chemicals are poisonous to wood-destroying fungi preventing it from infestation, and also rot from the outdoor elements improving its overall outdoor durability.

Pressure-treated timber has been widely used for longer than thermowood, growing hugely in use during the industrial revolution as demand for weather resistant wood increased (such as for telegraph poles and railways). It also makes for a great option if used for outdoor construction such as for garden furniture, garden landscaping projects and fencing.

The speculation about whether pressure-treated timber requires further protective treatment is ongoing. We personally recommend applying an additional finish such as an oil, stain or paint to further extend its life expectancy. If treated, you can expect to enjoy your garden furniture for up to 15 years. However, if you decide to leave your furniture untreated, the colour will slowly fade to a light grey and will likely have a slightly shorter life expectancy of up to 10 years. The fading is caused by the sun’s UV rays. Some people like this ageing process, but some don't, and will therefore choose to add a finish not only to lengthen it's life, but to also enrich its colour.
