What is treated wood, and how is it different from regular wood ?

Treated wood has been specially processed to resist moisture, pests, and decay. The treatment enhances the wood’s durability, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Unlike regular wood, which is more susceptible to damage, treated wood is designed to withstand harsh conditions for a longer lifespan.

What are the main benefits of using treated wood ?

Treated wood is resistant to moisture, insects, and fungal decay, making it perfect for outdoor furniture, decks, and construction projects. It’s durable, long-lasting, and maintains its strength and beauty, even under challenging weather conditions.

Is treated wood safe for use in my home or garden ?

Yes, treated wood is safe for residential use, provided it meets industry safety standards. The chemicals used in the treatment are regulated to ensure they are safe for humans and pets. For garden use, some treatments are even designed to be safe for contact with plants.

How long will treated wood last?

Treated wood is designed for longevity. Depending on the application and the specific treatment used, it can last anywhere from 30 years or more, especially when properly maintained.

Can treated wood be used for furniture?

Yes, treated wood is excellent for furniture making. Its enhanced durability makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor furniture. It resists warping, splitting, and damage from weather, ensuring long-lasting, sturdy pieces.

However, it is recommended to choose the right species of wood to suit your purpose. Please contact us for expert guidance in selecting the best treated wood for your furniture needs.

How should I maintain treated wood ?

To maintain the appearance and durability of treated wood, it’s recommended to clean it regularly and apply a protective sealant every few years. This will help prevent moisture buildup and preserve the wood’s strength over time.

What is the difference between air drying and kiln drying for wood ?

Air drying is a natural process where wood is left to dry in open air, allowing moisture to gradually escape. It’s slower but provides a more flexible wood that’s easier to work with. On the other hand, kiln drying involves using a controlled oven to remove moisture at a faster rate, resulting in wood that is more stable, durable, and resistant to decay.

Why is Kiln dry better for wood?

Kiln drying ensures that wood reaches a specific moisture content, making it more stable and resistant to warping, shrinking, and fungal growth. The controlled environment also kills any pests or mold present in the wood, enhancing its durability. This makes kiln-dried wood ideal for high-stress applications like construction and outdoor furniture.

Ideal for doors, flooring, and decking applications where the thickness of the wood is less and more susceptible to shrinkage.
