Wood Treatment

Wood treatment is the process of preserving timber to protect it from rot, fungal decay, and insect attack.




Pressure-treated timber is widely used in outdoor construction because it significantly increases the lifespan and durability of wood exposed to the elements.


Tanalith® Wood Treatment

Tanalith is a high-performance wood preservative used in pressure treatment. It protects timber against:

  • Wet rot
  • Dry rot
  • Fungal decay
  • Insect infestation

Key Benefits:

  • Long-lasting protection
  • Suitable for structural and landscaping use
  • Safe for outdoor applications
  • Compatible with paints and stains once dry

Tanalith-treated timber has a light green appearance when freshly treated, which gradually weathers to a natural honey-brown and eventually to a silver-grey if left untreated.


Tanatone® Wood Treatment

Tanatone is a brown-dyed version of Tanalith treatment. It offers the same level of protection but with enhanced appearance.

Why Choose Tanatone?

  • Rich brown colour for a more natural look
  • No need for immediate staining
  • Ideal for fencing, decking, and garden structures
  • Same durability and performance as Tanalith

Over time, Tanatone timber will also weather naturally unless maintained with a suitable wood stain or treatment.

What Is Tanalised Timber?

Tanalised timber is timber that has been pressure-treated using Tanalith preservative.

The term “Tanalised” is often used as a general description for pressure-treated timber. It means the preservative has been forced deep into the wood fibres under high pressure, providing long-term protection.

Common Uses:

  • Fence posts and panels
  • Decking
  • Sleepers
  • Pergolas and garden structures
  • Structural outdoor timber

Tanalised timber is ideal for ground contact applications when treated to the appropriate use class.
