What Are the Advantages of Pressure Treated Wood?
Pressure-treating our European-sourced timber creates wood that is water and weather-resistant and requires far less maintenance.
The process is simple. The cabin timber is sealed in a special pressure-treatment tank, where the pressurised environment forces chemical preservatives into the makeup of the wood. Onc
Introducing the preservatives to the wood in this environment allows the chemicals to penetrate deep into the timber, unlike dip-treatments that are only surface level and will require regular maintenance (and associated costs) over the years. Additionally, the wood stain offered by pressure-treating offers a traditional, alpine aesthetic.
The result is timber that can withstand water better thanks to its chemical preservatives and therefore needs less maintenance. One added benefit that we provide is that any pressure-treated building comes with an extended 15-year guarantee.
Why Choose A Pressure Treated Cabin?
You should choose a pressure-treated cabin if you need a building that can withstand harsh weather better or if you want to invest in better longevity for your cabin of choice.
Pressure treatment increases the cost of the building as there are added costs of treating the wood, but this is less expensive and (much less) time-intensive than the process of regularly treating your cabin. The upfront cost of treatment is an investment in helping it last longer.
Of course, we also provide an extended 15-year guarantee on any pressure-treated building. Opting for pressure treatment can give you peace of mind that your building will add value and usability to your home for a decade and a half.
Do You Offer a Guarantee?
Yes, every single pressure-treated BillyOh log cabin comes with a 15-year protective guarantee. Our standard guarantee is only 10 years but, to reflect the confidence we have in the longevity of our pressure-treated wood, any treated model will have an extended 15-year guarantee.
The guarantee protects against the primary forms of wood damage: rot, decay and insect infestation.
Does Pressure Treatment Change the Colour of the Wood?
Yes, it does, and for many this is a positive change.
At first, the timber will have a slightly green hue - this is simply due to the freshness of the treatment. Over time as the wood ages and the chemicals settle into the material this will age into a beautiful warm brown colour that is similar to the look of traditional alpine cabins.
