Pressure treatment

Pressure treatment is an alternative for staining and is possible for your log cabin. What does it mean?

• Additional treatments like staining are not necessary anymore. You have a choice of a brown colour.
• With pressure treatment, the impregnating fluid is forced into the wood. The impregnated wood becomes swollen, so it is therefore necessary to allow a longer delivery time to allow for drying.
• When a log cabin is pressure treated there is no need for additional treatment.
• After a while the wood will start to turn grey. The wood does not have to be stained but it is possible if you don’t like the grey colour.
• Due to the high pressure during pressure treatment it is possible that the wood will change. Sometimes cracks and chinks will occur.
• Fascia boards, roofbeams and canopies will also be pressure treated.
• Windows and doors will not be pressure treated.
