Products
All timber products should be treated in their final shape and form. Any surface exposed by drilling or cutting must be re-treated with a suitable cut end preservative. Failure to re-treat may negate the value of the preservative and is a requirement of the warranty. Rip sawing, thicknessing and planing are not permitted unless the timber is subsequently re-treated to the original specification. Use fasteners and other hardware which are in compliance with building codes for the intended use.
If you desire to apply a paint, stain, clear water repellent, or other finish to your preservative treated timber, we recommend following the manufacturer’s instructions and label of the finishing product. Before you start, we recommend you apply the finishing product to a small exposed test area before finishing the entire project to insure it provides the intended result before proceeding.
Mould growth can and does occur on the surface of many products, including untreated and treated timber, during prolonged surface exposure to excessive moisture conditions. To remove mould from the treated timber surface, timber should be allowed to dry. Typically, mild soap and water can be used to remove remaining surface mould.
