What is treated timber? Is it safe?
-
All of our treated timber, such as decking, fence posts, structural C16 and C24, and external cladding, are all pressure-treated using Tanalith E, the worlds top treatment brand.
-
Over the years, this brand name has become so synonymous with quality treated timber that people have started calling treated timber, “Tanalised” timber- taking the name from Tanalith specifically (think Hoover or Velcro).
-
The pressure treatment process replaced an older, less safe method called CCA. Pressure treatment with Tanalith is much safer for the environment and humans, as well as creating a far higher-quality product. Its the safest its ever been!
