timber preservation

Timber preservation involves treating wood to protect it from decay, pests, and environmental damage, extending its lifespan. This process typically includes applying chemical solutions that penetrate the wood to repel insects like termites, prevent fungal growth such as mold and rot, and resist moisture. Common methods include pressure treatment, where preservatives are forcefully infused into the wood, and surface coatings like paints or sealants. Proper preservation ensures that timber remains durable, stable, and safe for use in construction, furniture, and outdoor structures, reducing the need for frequent replacement and maintenance.
