TIMBER PRESERVATION

Vacuum Pressure Impregnation

For our chemical impregnation process, we employ a 5% strength solution of Boron Borax, ensuring the utmost care and preservation of the wood. Once the timber is carefully arranged within our specialized impregnation chamber, we meticulously eliminate all trapped air bubbles through a 45-minute vacuum treatment.

Following this step, we introduce the Boron Borax mixture into the chamber, gradually increasing the pressure to a precise 10 Bars (145 PSI). This pressure is maintained for a period of 2 to 6 hours, with the exact duration tailored to the specific type and size of the wood in question

Under this controlled pressure, our preservative chemicals are skilfully driven to the very core of the wood, fortifying it against any potential pest contamination. This thorough process ensures that the wood remains entirely safeguarded for an extended period, granting you peace of mind and the lasting beauty of your woodwork.
