FAQs

What is the meaning of slow-grown timber?

Slow-grown timber indicates that the wood has grown in a controlled environment, resulting in a denser and more durable wood structure.

Why is the timber kiln-dried?

Kiln-drying reduces the moisture content, improving the timber's stability and making it less prone to warping, shrinking, or expanding.

What kind of projects is this timber suitable for?

This timber is suitable for a wide range of projects, including framing, decking, outdoor furniture, and general construction, due to its durability and resistance to decay.

How should I store the timber?

Store the timber in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements and maintain its quality before use.

Can I paint or stain this timber?

Yes, you can paint or stain this timber. Ensure you use appropriate paints or stains that are suitable for treated wood. Always test in a small area first to check for compatibility.

Is this timber suitable for ground contact?

The treatment provides some protection against ground contact. However, it is advisable to use additional protective measures or choose alternative timber if the application involves direct and prolonged ground contact.

How do I clean the timber?

Clean the timber with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers, as these can damage the surface.

Troubleshooting

Timber is warped after installation.

Ensure timber was properly acclimatized before use. Check for excessive moisture exposure or inadequate support. Consider adding bracing or additional supports.

Difficulty in cutting the timber.

Use sharp saw blades specifically designed for the type of wood and ensure proper cutting technique. Consider pre-drilling holes to prevent splitting.
