Wood Treatment That Guarantees
Long Term Protection!

What Causes Wood To Decay and How Does Wood Treatment Help?

Wood is sustainable natural resource that is biodegradable, this is one of the reasons why we use so much of it. However, in nature there are certain micro-organisms that literally eat wood and change its state back into its basic chemical form, so providing natural fertiliser for the forest floor. This may be fine for the sustainabilty of the forest but not so good if it happens to your wooden framed house. Add to this, the possibilty of attack by insects (termites and the like also eat wood) and you have a bit of a problem.

So what must we do? How can we stop these creatures from eating all of our wood? In simplistic terms we have to make it less palatable to these creatures. We can do this by simply applying an eco-friendly chemical 'wood treatment'. By applying this wood treatment to the outer layers of timber we can protect it from decay. But like everything else there is a flaw.

As soon as you break down the outer layer, by sawing for example, the unprotect central core is now vunerable once again. That's why you must always treat the exposed parts immediately or the micro-organisms will simply begin eating it again. Various products such as Endsele are available for this purpose.

By maintaining a protective outer layer the lifespan of the treated timber is increase five fold. Without any form of wood treatment you are simply waiting for the inevitable to happen.
