OVERVIEW
DURABILITY
The durability and service life of timber products can be enhanced by impregnating the cells with stable preservatives. This process is commonly referred to as 'treating', and is a cost efficient and reliable method of improving the timber's natural resistance to attack from insects and decay.
Treatment preservatives can improve the durability of timber by acting to repel wood destroying insects (such as termites, white ants and borers), and breaking down fungi spores that lead to wood rot.
OVERVIEW
In Australia, the use of framing treated for termite resistance is becoming a standard practice for builders who want to offer their customers peace-of-mind. In outdoor environments, Australian grown plantation pine can be cost efficiently treated and used as a sustainable alternative to imported exotic hardwood for many common projects - including carports, pergolas, decking structures and playgrounds. Timber treatments can also significantly enhance the lifespan of timber used in in-ground applications - such as garden walls and landscaping projects.
However, treatments do not provide protection against the effects of weathering. All timber used in outdoor environments should be protected with the application and maintenance of a suitable coating system.
