Timber Treatment
TANALISED®E pressure treated timber is timber which has impregnated with TANALISED®E wood preservative under controlled conditions in a vacuum pressure impregnation plant.
TANALISED®E pressure treated timber is protected against fungal (rot) and insect attack to ensure a long service life.
Typical uses for TANALISED®E pressure treated timber include general construction, cladding, garden and leisure wood structures, fencing and playground equipment.
A range of commonly used lengths/sections are carried in stock pre treated for immediate delivery.
VACSOL®AQUA treated timber is timber that has been impregnated with VACSOL®AQUA wood preservative under controlled conditions in a double vacuum/low pressure timber impregnation plant VAC-VAC® plant.
This treatment provides effective protection against fungal and insect attack.
Typical uses for VACSOL AQUA treated timber include timber frame material, building timbers above damp proof course for example roofing timbers, flooring and cladding
Milling To Order
In our planing mills, we have a number of specialist moulding machines dedicated to producing non standard square edged or moulded profiles to agreed minimum quantities (usually one cubic metres). Typically these are:
-
Planed Square Section with non standard finished sizes
-
Planed Square Sections to usual finished sizes but in a species of quality either higher or lower than that normally used for that section
-
Non Standard Moulded Profiles
-
Standard Moulded Profiles but in a specie or quality either higher or lower than normally used for that section
Strength Grading
We have a team of registered and third party audited strength graders trained to visually grade structural carcassing sections.
Imported machine graded timber is delivered in full packs graded to C16/C24 in accordance with BS EN 519 mixed within the packs. To achieve a visual grade, GS/C16 (general structural) or SS/C24 (special structural) grade, our strength graders have been trained to BS4978: 1996 under the supervision of the TRADA Quality Assurance Scheme.
It is necessary for recut sizes to be regraded.
