Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Although treated wood is protected against decay and termite attack, the application of a water-repellent sealer to all exposed wood surfaces is recommended upon completion of construction. This sealer will help control surface checking (splitting or cracking) and provide an attractive appearance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tanalith® E is a water-based, high pressure wood preservative that is industrially applied. When impregnated into the timber through a high pressure process, Tanalith® E components bond with the wood structure and cannot easily be removed, helping to significantly extend its service life.

Detailed explanation-3: -The timber is loaded into a large treatment tank and put under a vacuum. The tank is then completely flooded with wood preservative. The tank, whilst full, is then put under hydraulic pressure forcing the preservative deep in to the timber. More items
