Timberlink - Timber Treatment

Timber Treatment Service

Timberlink offers a custom treatment service to outside customers in both green and brown. Our treatment facility is one of the most modern in the UK. We have two plants which both measure 12.2m x 1.8m.

We have pioneered environmentally safe treatment of timber in the UK in our purpose built treatment building and drying area. Rainwater is recycled to be used in the process. We were one of the first plants to be fully bunded and to have a dedicated forklift so that there is no wheel contamination of chemical on site.

The timber treatment process:

1. Timber is placed in an industrial treatment cylinder and an initial vacuum is created. The timber cells are evacuated of air and the vacuum is held.

2. The cylinder is flooded under vacuum with Tanalith E wood preservative.

3. Hydraulic pressure is applied, forcing the preservative into the timber cells.

4. A final vacuum extracts excess preservative solution, which is pumped back to storage.

5. Low pressure inside the timber draws in surface preservative solution when vented to atmosphere. Treated timber is then stored until dry before despatch.
